Hôtel Continental

Great service at the welcome desk! Didn’t have the chance to book a room there, but I did rely on their efficient luggage storage via Radical Storage. It’s cheap, safe (insured up to 3000€ per bag), just easy and practical.

Rooms are spacious, and nice, location was perfect for me and the purpose of my visit, even though there is a Taxi location there is as always shady and expensive, you never know what are they are doing pushing buttons on the Taximeter, GET AN UBER. Michel , the Frontdesk Person when we arrived was amicable and very helpful. Which made next day service or lack of it kind of rude with a Frontdesk Clerk : Nim , making rude and sarcástic comments, shouldn't be in a position of Customer service. Other than that Hotel was ver convenient.

A bit of a mixed bag, location is very good for the main station and metro but it's also on a noisy road (to be expected given the location) which was compounded by major building work going on among the whole front of the station, starting at 7am.  Also being across from the station the taxi rank was in front of the hotel where the drivers chatted loudly into the small hours. The hotel soundproofing is pretty good when the windows are shut tight, but the noise from outside still penetrated. Bring your earplugs.  The next issue is the air conditioning, although there is a control in the room, sometimes it said it is being centrally controlled and sometimes it let you set a target temp, although not very low I think 22c was the lowest. This meant that with the windows shut to keep the noise out that the room could get far too warm, but it seemed a bit erratic. The room itself was good, decent size, two chairs, separate duvets, nice linens, even UK channels on the TV. The place was a bit tired though and the lighting was awful. The bathroom was OK, clean enough, the shower was a bit tight one way, but plenty of hot water. The staff at the front desk were all very nice and professional. Housekeeping quality was questionable as we found an half eaten pizza in a box left on a shelf in the wardrobe area. It's very convenient if you are travelling by train but given the works opposite I can't really recommend this hotel.

The hotel is right across from the Lausanne train station, so extremely convenient location. Ugur was our front desk clerk and he was excellent! His English was spot on. He was professional, polite, and responsive to any of our questions upon arrival which, was appreciated. We found our rooms to be clean and comfortable. The hotel provides a beautiful breakfast spread as well. The Continental printed complimentary metro tickets which we were able to use easily to tour the cathedral and enjoy the lake and mountain vistas of lovely Lausanne!

Lots of construction in front of the hotel and the street was very loud at night, but the staff were nice and the room was comfortable. Good if you’re arriving by public transportation but otherwise not convenient.

The reception staff made this a pleasant stay. They were very nice, attentive and helpful during our stay. The hotel is located directly across the street from the main station and has another excellent location, if you are going to Lausanne by train. We were passing through by car and were able to park outside for check-in and check-out. Overnight parking was in a parking garage about 5-10 minutes walk away and cost 20 CHF when we paid at the reception. Walking distance to the things we wanted to see in the city, with Lausanne having a slightly special topography, so it depends on what you are going to do in the city. The standard of the hotel was as expected. The rooms are relatively modern, the common areas maybe a little less modern, but perfectly livable. Nothing to complain about the cleanliness. We left early and therefore did not have breakfast.

The location is perfect. It is just on the right of the metro station which is opposite to the railway station.The entrance of the hotel is not so obvious, and so be careful not to miss it.We were given a quiet room as required, and in addition the room is really big with a balcony.You can always get free iced drinks at the lobby as refreshments.The staff members are professional and always carry a smile, which gives us a very good impression.

Very convenient location! Very near SBB and metro! Very happy that i chose this hotel as Lausanne is very centralized allowing me to be based there and going for day trips to nearby towns out from it. I would recommend this hotel solely for its location but honestly I have nothing to grumble about the hotel. I would choose it again if I were to visit Lausanne!
