Hotels near Parc de Rhodanie, Lausanne

This hotel is exactly what you need it to be - close to transport links, close to the centre, clean, friendly and fun! The staff on reception could not have been more friendly and welcoming. I was given my room key but also (unexpectedly) a metro pass for the duration of my stay which was a God send for getting about the city. The metro is also right next door to the hotel so it couldn't have been any better. The rooms are on the smaller side as may reviews have suggested, however, as a solo traveller this did not really bother me. Thankfully the room had a ceiling fan as it did get very warm. As well as the metro pass you are also given a free drink voucher for the roof top bar as a welcome drink, a free pair of sunglasses and packet of condoms :P haha. My only criticism was that on my last night, I went to the rooftop bar planning to have a couple of drinks while reading my book (as I had most nights) only this time was made to feel very unwelcome. The bar was fairly busy as half was clearly being used for a function. There were a couple of tables on the 'free' side reserved so I avoided them and sat where I was taking up the least room. Before even bringing me a menu the waiter came over to tell me that because it was busy and because I was on my own he would be 'forced' to ask me to leave if they needed the table for a bigger party. I understand that bigger tables are better for business, but as a paying customer, and a hotel guest, I felt I had as much right to sit there as anyone else. I had one drink and left as I didn't feel very wanted. It was a shame as up until that point I had no faults in the hotel or the staff but as a solo traveller being told that because you are alone you are less of a priority hit a raw nerve and I did not appreciate it.

The location of the hotel is very convenient. There are many restaurants and bars nearby. The parking lot is right next to the hotel. There are also special discounts for hotel guests. The front desk service was very nice. They gave me a transportation card to facilitate transportation in the city and a welcome drink coupon. The hotel style is very morden, but the room is small, suitable for business travel.

The hotel is located in the center of Lausanne, just three minutes away from the cathedral. The city view room is beautiful, this is the most beautiful room I have booked in Switzerland. The disadvantage is that there is no parking lot and the room is relatively small

Exactly what we needed. Comfortable room and bedding, very large shower tub. The Breakfast was nice, with attention to avoid disposable material, fresh yoghurts, two coffee machines. The free Lausanne pass allowing free public transportation (and other advantages) was appreciated.

Der Empfang war nicht gerade effizient - obwohl man zuhause bereits alle Daten online ausgefüllt hat. Nach 25 km langem Pilgermarsch möchte man an einem heissen Tag einfach nur eines: eine erfrischende Dusche. Leider war der Kaltwasserhahn im Doppelzimmer kaputt, es kam nur heisses Wasser. Der Wechsel in ein anderes Zimmer war dann immerhin rasch vollzogen. Das Nachtessen war ok. Das Beste an der JH Lausanne sind jedoch das Frühstücksbuffet und die super Lunch-Säcke. Das Frühstück ist vollwertig, mit frischen Früchten, Müesli und Brot mit allem was dazugehört. Eine echte Überraschung waren die (am Vortag zu bestellenden) Lunchpakete. 2 Sandwiches, 2 versch. Riegel, 1 Frucht und ein Getränk für nur 10.- Fr - absolut top!

Nice hotel, good location

Very good, facing Lake Geneva, the environment is in the center of the town, it is very convenient to walk to any place in the town, but the hotel is a bit old, there is a smell in the aisle.

Great views from all over the place over the lake and mountains. Friendly staff. Good choice at breakfast. Dinner was excellent. We had the alpine salmon & the chefs ravioli. Good service. Reception gave us a tourist card for discounts on several attractions. Parking free & in front of the entrance. The rooms are partly in need of refurbishment but for the price thats what we expected. Its difficult to sleep with open windows as they close from the wind. We placed a shoe like that it worked out. The floor in both rooms had gaps.. why does the hotel accept this. The floors dont look to old. Windows are old. We had some smashed moskitos on the sealing. Was difficult to shower without making the hair wet as there is always coming some water out of the rainbow shower even when using the hand shower head. The kids loved to watch the animals in the parc. Overall a good experience.

Staff were great, friendly, and helpful. The rooms were clean and spacious and quiet. The beds were very comfortable. The only reason a star was lost is because I didn’t sleep most of the night since our room was way too hot. There isn’t air conditioning, but there is a central fan system to make it more eco friendly. We got two rooms, our kids room was palatable temperature, nonetheless, the manager did compensate since our room was uncomfortable. I highly suggest staying at this place. Also, the breakfast was lovely, croissants delicious and endless coffee. Yum!
