8/10 Very good

Lovely spot, with view over the Lake. Large clean rooms, modern design, but very Spartan. We arrived late and in room snacks were non-existent. Restaurant closed at 10pm. Too few electric outlets, and it would have helped to have a night light by the bathroom, which was internal and difficult to navigate in the dark.

Excellent room with lake & mountain view. Efficient check-in with friendly and accommodating staff - we needed to store specialty medication in a safe and cooled space. The room was very comfortable - general space, bed, linens, pillows, soaps.

8/10 Very good

A nice university hotel for visitors to Lausanne, but a bit sterile and the suites lack a dividing wall. Rooms are very upscale, but the dinner menu is rather limited (yet everything I tried was fantastic). Hard spot to reach, and you need some sort of vehicle toget from here to anywhere else.

8/10 Very good

The breakfast options and quality were very poor for a 4 star hotel. Otherwise it was ok. The room had a nice view of the lake.

8/10 Very good

Good for business travelers

Needed a point on Lake Geneva fairly central- easy to get to Geneva, Annecy, Mont Blanc, Montreaux and Lausanne. Easy access to autobahn- within 5 minute drive. No road noise. Heavy residential area. 2 good restaurants down by the lake. Ask for a room on the Lake view side. A/C in room - yes- not very cold. Hanging rod and open shelf is it for the closet- no drawers. Would recommend for business travelers. Good staff and hotel restaurant provides a nice breakfast and varied dinner menu weeknights.

8/10 Very good

A nice hotel option, upscale, architecturally a bit severe but with a very nice view of the mountains (not so much the lake). Overall, the neighborhood is very safe but unattractive: EPFL is not a campus notable for its grade, and the hotel has some sort of muddy field behind it (but with a path you can follow to walk on the side of the lake, which I recommend). Restaurant is good but has a limited choice; bar is fine but mostly has fairly cheap liqueur at relatively steep pricing. But the staff is incredibly warm and helpful, and we valued that. If you plan to use the sofa or sleep on it, ask for a room with a sofa that isn’t ancient and lumpy. Only some rooms even have a sofa, but among those that do, many should have been replaced around 1975!

4/10 Fair

This stay was frustrating and fell well below expectations. Before arrival, there was a serious issue with our prepaid booking not being properly recognized, creating unnecessary stress and uncertainty at the outset of the visit. Once on site, the overall level of organization and service was poor. Breakfast service on several mornings was uncomfortable, and service interactions lacked professionalism. Additionally, confusion during a dinner order further reflected a lack of attention to detail. Overall, the experience felt disorganized and disappointing. The standard of service was noticeably lower than expected and did not align with what we had previously experienced at this property.
