Hôtel Continental

I will be returning to the Continental as there was nothing I could fault. Location over the road from the station and I was able to walk everywhere. Reception staff friendly and helpful, breakfast staff excellent. My room was a single and small but a comfortable bed, air conditioning and Wi-Fi made it a good experience. Bathroom big, clean, modern, with a large powerful shower. Breakfast was typical continental with decent choices.|There is a chance I may have to travel to Lausanne a few times per year and I won't look anywhere else for an hotel, there is no point!!

Good location near the train station. Large, clean room. Good shower and comfortable bed. Wifi is a little odd; we could only connect one device per person because the code to access it was sent through SMS text, and the signal wasn't always great. Besides that everything was great! Very kind and welcoming staff :)

We stayed here for one night last year as an overnight from a train ride. It's an excellent place to spend the night if you're planning on visiting other cities, or visiting from other cities, as it's quite close to different forms of public transit. The rooms aren't terribly large, but they have air conditioning and all the typical amenities you'd expect. As a Canadian, I was pleasantly surprised by the price and have no complaints. Check-in/out was smooth and the staff were polite and efficient. I will say the streets outside can get a little rowdy at night, but this is Switzerland so I never once felt even a little bit concerned walking around after dark.

Had a great stay at this hotel. Train and metro stations are at your doorstep. We were concerned about noise but the room was very quiet with no street noise. The staff were very friendly and even printed some recommendations for restaurants and activities around Lausanne!

The hotel is quite old and definitely needs renovation. Both from the outside and inside. The rooms and beds are tiny and there is no possibility to regulate the temperature in the room - I had to sleep with my jacket on becuase it was so cold (there was not even a second blanket in the room). The service is friendly, but since everything looks so old, I had the feeling it was dirty everywhere. Definitely not worth the money I paid having better options a few seconds away from this hotel. For me, not a repeat-experience.

Very typical European Hotel with an unobtrusive front and small Lobby, small but suitable and clean rooms, and available European Breakfast Buffet for a fee. The staff is always friendly and helpful, greeting you with a smile when you come and go. AWESOME location. In the heart of Lausanne, it is right across the street from the main train station, so you don't have to lug your luggage very far. They offer a free public transportation pass so you can ride anywhere in the city to take in all the sites. It is my go-to hotel when I'm visiting in the Lake Geneve area on business.

Ok hotel. Not a big room(the wall is virtually attached to the edge of the bed, u can hardly get through) ). ||Quite expensive, but u can find offers on several sites (I did on Trivago).IAfter the reservation, Iwrote then 5 times, to ask for one quiet room(since the hotel is right in front of the station) but they never replied.(i started thinkin that something went wrong with my booking, as I never used Trivago). Anyway, I was given one, which was ok. ||Anyway, something not nice happened. One night, I was back at nine. I took a glass of nice flavoured water that they have at reception and went back to my room. As I was very thirsty, I decided to get another glass, so I went back to get one more(RIGHT AWAY). BUT, to my surprise, the water was gone. A very rude guy, without even looking at my face, told me that it was over(which was NOT as I had just taken one glass). (there were 3 guys at reception:2 of the apologised, while the other one, as I said, was really rude).Unbelievable. I want to stress, anyway, that all of the other receptionists have been very nice. ||In the roomnthere is a coffee machine, which can also makes tea., and a mini fridge. Breakfast very expensive, so no point. The shiwer did not work properly, and the hair dryer did not work at all. But I had mine, luckily. ||A very good thing is that, as some othere hotels and hostels do, they give u a ticket to travel around losanna for free. Which is very good, as it is uphill… You get the metro, right next to the hotel, and u go wherever u want. The center is about 15 mi utes walk, but, as i said, , is uphill.

The Continental Hotel Lausanne offers a cozy retreat with rooms that, while on the smaller side, are reasonably priced by Swiss standards. Despite their size, they provide all the necessary amenities such as shampoo, shower gel, coffee, tea, and a hairdryer. The daily cleaning service, including fresh towels, is a thoughtful touch appreciated by guests. The receptionists, particularly Mr. Belaly, stand out for their impeccable English and exceptional friendliness. While the breakfast options may be somewhat limited, they are consistently fresh and tasty. The hotel's location couldn't be more convenient, being directly opposite Lausanne train station and just a minute's walk away. Its proximity to the local metro entrance adds to its appeal. Despite its proximity to the train station, the rooms remain quiet, making it an ideal choice for singles or couples who prioritize location and convenience over spacious accommodations.
