Hotel Aulac

Just a week ago we have stayed in Lausanne over a weekend to meet friends and to visit the city. The location of the hotel is unique with the harbour right in front of it, playgrounds for kids, veggie market on Sunday and the proximity to the beach, the metro station and restaurants was amazing. We have enjoyed the stay to the max. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was clean, spacious enough for a family of 4 and had a priceless view directly to the lake. Value for money was definitely justified.

Clean rooms, not luxurious but sufficient, some with view to the lake. The price is adequate. The service is very good. There are not any parking lots close to the hotel. For parking you need to use an official underground parking with service . It costs about 15 Euros per day, additionally. It is convenient if you have not too much luggage.

Absolutely gorgeous. This is such a peaceful environment filled with love and acceptance. It was a perfect place to go for rejuvenation and connection with myself and hubby! It's very close to all transportation services and the hotel provided a free card that allowed us to utilize all of the transportation. The food at all of the local restaurants was divine . We will be back!!!

Very well located just by the lake and by the metro station. The staff is very nice. However the rooms are quite old and the lobby and halls very small. The outside is nice but kind of noisy so hard to relax during summer. There is no AC. It’s a great place if your budget is low but want to stay in Ouchy

Rooms were small but it was perfect for a 3day stay. The room was super clean. The location is perfect. The personnel was very friendly and helpfull. For a relatively cheap choice the hotel was very good. I would recommend it especially if you do not want to pay a big Swiss price hotel

Right in front of the lake. There's a big underground garage on the other side of the street (obviously need to pay). Rooms are nothing spectacular, but they didn't fall short on anything. Clean, functional, comfortable all ok. The whole hotel is in between of "modern" and "old-fashioned". It has a bar and a restaurant attached to it. I have been in the hotel couple of times now, I've always wanted to try their mussels, since it looks like it's their specialty.

Fantastic location right next to the lake and metro. Amazing views from the room! Just stunning. Can't comment on the food as I didn't eat at the restaurant. But room was comfortable if a little small. Only didn't give five stars because the checkin time of 2pm couldnt be brought forward by even an hour.. Had to stroll the streets for hours after an early arrival to the city. Good service. Would definitely reccomend.

Positives and negatives from my stay here. First of all the location is very nice and I got a great view from my room and had no issue with the amenities. Yet the lobby and the restaurant have a horrible stinch of fish. Also, most importantly the staff is HORRIBLE! I went down a night before to see the breakfast menu for the following morning and the front desk guy said he didn’t have it and that I should check in the restaurant. When I went there I found the staff getting drunk and smoking avoiding work at all costs and told me they DIDNT HAVE THE MENU AT THE RESTAURANT. Seriously disturbed with the disgusting behavior.

This is a delightful hotel on the lake's edge. The lake Léman my friends. Don't even think of calling it lake Geneva. That name is reserved for lame northern cartographers, and trolls who believe everything they read in cyber space. Au lac, the hôtel on the edge of the Léman is perhaps one of the nicest gems in Lausanne. Most rooms face the lake, and while there is no central AC, it is typically not needed. Summer can be warm, but it can also include thunder storms and great showers. Awaking to the geese, and birds by the water's edge is simply devine. Just missing the sweet song of morning cowbells, but you'll have to seek accommodations at a high altitude for that song. Conveniently located just East of the M2 Ouchy-Olympic station, a mere few minutes from the train station. Fly into Cointrin, aka Geneva Airport, and once through customs, head to the train station down stairs. Just drift left, you can't miss it. You can purchase your ticket at an automated machine, in your choice of language. Get off in Lausanne, and walk north or south, in Lausanne, a city on a slope, up is North, and down is south. What could be easier. Look for the Metro M2. And take it direction Ouchy-Olympic from either Lausanne-Gare (to the north) or Grancy (to the south). From the latter you are just three stops away. Don't fuss with a ticket. If you are stopped by an agent, show them your railway receipt, and let them know you are going to check-into the Hôtel au Lac. There you will be given a Mobilis, a TL (Transport Lausanne) pass that will give you unlimited access to the public transportation system. The agent should let you go. They know the value of tourists, and this isn't LA. The currency here is trust, and yes, you're bending the rules, but it's okay. You're jet-lagged and tired. The hôtel is clean and comfortable, and shares a relationship with the restaurant next door where you can have three meals a day if you like. And you are within walking distance of numerous bars, cafés and restaurants, and a short metro ride to the center of town. As in all hôtels, co tact the staff directly to get the best rate, especially if you have a tendency to change your plans. That is of course unless you like using third parties. Across the street is the CGN, where you can hop on a ship that will take you to destinations around the lake, including France! Wave to Evian, yeah, the folks that bring you water. They're directly across from you, when you stay at Hôtel au Lac.

Great little hotel right on the water in Ouchy.
