Losanna

Hotel impeccabile ed ottimo il rapporto qualità/prezzo. Camere spaziose, pulite e curate nei dettagli. Letto matrimoniale estremamente comodo. Bagno ampio, di design. Wi-Fi in camera eccellente e vasta scelta di canali tv anche italiani (reti Raine Mediaset). Parcheggio facile e gratuito. Ottima la colazione. Completa la struttura un ristorante a piano terra che non ho provato ma presumo sia molto valido. Eccellente nel complesso

Die Rezeption ist um 18Uhr schon geschlossen, nicht wie angegeben um 21Uhr, hinein kommt man dann nur wenn man zuvor Einlasscode erhalten hat, dann checkin am Automat, dabei erhält man keinen gescheiten Beleg/Rechnung was für Businesskunden wichtig wäre, die Junior-Suite hat eine rollbare "Miniküche", das FrühstückBüffet ist eingeschränkt , positiv ist kostenfrei parken

Breakfast very poor

Room was large with terrace. Bed was unconfortable.Parking is outside in front of hotel with cameras but open street. Breakfast was extremely poor, just some yoghurt and small low cost cheese. Receptionist is kindly. Also you get free ticket for public transport. Internet is low quality

Great value, compared to prices in Lausanne. Transit was great, close to grocery stores. Dinner at 5:30 pm was not possible. Fridge wasn't very cold, room was warm (fan but no air conditioning). Staff were friendly and helpful (especially answering TONS of questions by email before my trip).

Convenient hotel in the Lausanne area.

Good place for an overnight stay. Location is in a quiet residential area so nothing much within walking distance. The hotel has a self-service check in for out of hours arrivals. Breakfast room was large and attractive - breakfast was ok. A slightly quirky hotel based on the theme of inventions but perfectly good for a short stay in the Lausanne area.

8/10 Very good

This is clean and quiet property (despite adjoining construction), set amid a residential and light industrial area. It is walking distance to a shopping center containing a huge grocery store (Migros), where I often bought my meals among its prepared selections, including canapes! And it is also walking distance to the local light rail station. The hotel staff gave me adequate instructions to find it and also free travel on it for the duration of my stay. The hotel ordered a taxi for me the evening before my early departure the next morning & the taxi did not show. I called the hotel emergency number and the hotel immediately called another and I made my connection. I would not recommend including the breakfast for your stay. Experiment with it one morning & make your own decision. Clearly I was disappointed. Also, there is no air conditioning and there was record heat during my stay. The fan in the room was adequate to move the air. Also, the staff speaks passable English and is happy to help with everything!

Température trop élevée et petit-déjeuner limite

Arrivé en fin de journée caniculaire, je m'attendais à avoir la clim dans la chambre ... malheureusement pas. J'ai déjà séjourné dans l'hôtel en hiver sans souci mais là, la chambre était trop chaude malgré un ventilateur fourni. Le petit-déjeuner fût aussi une mauvaise expérience avec plus rien à disposition à 9h00 alors que le petit-déjeuner est disponible jusqu'à 10h00 (plus de jus de fruit, plus de charcuterie ou presque, ...). Bref passons au positif, une grande chambre et une grande douche fonctionnelle.

โรงแรมอาจอยู่ห่างจากตัวเมืองโลซานซักหน่อย แต่ไม่มีปัญหาถ้ามีเช่ารถหรือมีรถ เพราะขับแค่ 10 นาทีจากโลซาน การเข้าพักให้บริการ 24 ชม มีเป็นตู้อัตโนมัติให้บริการ การเข้าออกโรงแรมต้องมีคีย์การ์ดทำให้รู้สึกปลอดภัยดี ห้องพักสะอาดและมีอ่างอาบนำ้ให้บริการดีมาก อาหารตอนเช้ามีค่อนข้างดีมีมาม่าไทยให้ด้วย แต่อาหารเข้าไม่รวมกับค่าห้องพักผู้ใหญ่ 18 CHF เด็กเล็กไม่คิดเงิน

Très bien. Bien placé, proche commerces

Il a fallu attendre un peu et revenir car la chambre n'était pas prête à l'heure. Deux chambres distinctes très pratiques pour les familles. Petite kitchenette dans l'entrée avec micro ondes. Vaisselle insuffisante pour 4 au niveau assiettes, couverts. Un mini frigo (type mini bar) dans chaque chambre. Pratique et fonctionnel
