Hôtel Mirabeau Lausanne

We had 3-night stay here at the Family room, the room and the bathroom are spacious, there’s a lovely balcony as well! Their interior design is more traditional and elegant, which we love it! :) We enjoyed our breakfasts at their restaurant too, great quality!! While what a pity because of our early check-out that we had to skip the breakfast on the last morning, but the staff had prepared light breakfast for us to take away. ;) The hotel is a little bit far from the train station, but it’s still manageable, and we had already expected it when we confirmed the booking, so it’s fine to us. Hope can revisit this hotel when we travel to Lausanne again in the future!

A wonderful hotel! The welcome and check-in were friendly and efficient. The reception team were amazing! Room was very comfortable and well equipped. Hotel was peaceful despite being close to the station and main road, didn't notice any noise. The bar was comfortable and a great way to relax. We look forward to visiting this hotel again next time we are in Lausanne.

Chic and charming steps away from the metro and train station. This is a very highly desirable and safe location with the charm and grace of Swiss hospitality, authentic bar and restaurant which depicts Swiss civility and graceful surroundings. This hotel could definitely host a scene or two from a James Bond film as it is a hidden getaway and in no way resembling a ‘Best Western’. The staff are gracious and helpful & the rooms are superb and spotlessly clean. Chic and charming all the way and will most definitely visit again. Expectation scale is 10 out of 5! Bravo 👏 Thank you to the staff and to Charlotte and Emmanuel for their special unforgettable personalities and kindness.

Short, but amazing stay at Mirabeau during our Switzerland trip. We got room upgrade - it was big room with two balconies and navy style decoration. Staff were kind and helpful. Breakfast was good and we had also dinner at local restaurant - excellent food and service. We stayed just two night, but next time we definitely stay longer.

I had an amazing stay at Hôtel Mirabeau! The hotel has a timeless charm, and my room was both elegant and comfortable, with high-quality bedding, classic wood furniture, and a tasteful blue contrast. Thoughtful touches like a kettle, a well-designed desk, and a comfy armchair made the space feel even more inviting.|Breakfast was a real highlight, so many tasty options! The bread was simply heavenly compared to what I’m used to in the U.S., and the homemade Bircher muesli and honey added a delicious local touch.|And then there is the view, just spectacular! Waking up to a stunning panorama of the lake and mountains was unforgettable. |The location is a major advantage: a five-minute walk from the train and metro stations. The metro makes it easy to explore Lausanne, with one direction taking you to the Olympic Museum and the scenic Ouchy Port while the other leads to the old city.

We stayed here for two nights to explore Lausanne, Greyere and surrounding areas. I was a wonderful hotel in a good location in Lausanne to be able to walk up the hill to the medieval historic district and pass through the shopping areas along the way. It’s an older hotel but well maintained and cozy. They have shutters that can be closed over the windows so it’s full black out, which I love for a good nights sleep. Parking is across the street in a garage that is very tight but it was manageable and we tried to use our vehicle as little as possible, which most European cities make easy to do. I don’t know if I’ll ever pass through Lausanne again, but if I do I’d stay here again in a heartbeat.

We spent 2 wonderful nights at the Mirabeau Hotel with its old-world charm, helpful staff and central location. We also received free passes for local bus travel and an upgrade to a junior suite which was an extremely kind gesture! Overall, very pleasant and enjoyable stay.

I was happy with everything except for the lack of air conditioning. It exceeded 30 °C on the days that we were there and the air conditioning did not function, making for uncomfortable and poor sleeping.

Hôtel Mirabeau Lausanne was the final and most swanky of the 3 hotels we tried during our whirlwind tour of Switzerland in November 2017. We were in town specifically to experience the start of the Lake Geneva-area Christmas Market season and Mirabeau was a great home base for our excursions. The train station is just a couple city blocks down the street (not too steep coming back), there's a bus stop right next door, and you're a 20-minute walk away down to the shore of Lake Geneva or up to Old Town. The wonderful daytime concierge, Peter, started us off with the perfect welcome. We arrived exhausted around 17:30 after a long day of tourism in Solothurn and a rush hour train ride back down to Vaud. Unfortunately, something had gone awry on my reservation (something I suspect was entirely my own fault) and I had reserved a room with 3 beds, but only 1 guest. We were a family of 3 and the room they originally had for us would have been tight, so we were immediately upgraded to a spacious 4th-floor "family room" suite with a balcony over Avenue de la Gare and a partial lake view from the kids' room overlooking Avenue de Rosemont. We paid an additional $50 per night fee for the extra adult, which I consider entirely reasonable especially with the included the $25 daily breakfast buffet for all of us (a bargain compared to what we'd been spending on most Swiss restaurant meals). As it also happened to be the American Thanksgiving holiday, Peter also offered to make dinner reservations for us at his favorite traditional Vaudian-cuisine restaurant (Café du Grütli http://www.cafedugruetli.ch/) that would put us in the middle of the Bô Noël (Lausanne's Christmas market & light display in Old Town https://www.bo-noel.ch/en/). We had a tasty seasonal meal, drank delicious local wine, and made new friends with the friendly proprietors. I later realized that the restaurant was listed as one of the recommended favorites on Trip Advisor and in Rick Steves' book, so we were in good company. Love! Our beds were very comfortable and the soaking tub in the enormous bathroom was great for relieving the stress of the day. TV options included some BBC channels in English, so that was a relief after a week of French- and German-language everything straining our language-ignorant brains. We didn't use the contents of the refrigerated mini-bar, but I appreciated having a fridge to hold my dinner leftovers! We didn't use many amenities around the hotel, but we thoroughly enjoyed the self-served breakfast spread in the 1st-floor restaurant. Everyone (even the picky 5th grader) found something they liked. I personally gorged on lox, sausages, mushroom melange, ratatouille, assorted cheeses & bread, freshly soft-boiled eggs, fruit, and juice, plus plenty of expertly brewed coffee - all great fuel for a day of touring and travel. Reviewer W.R. was right, though. The opening/closing sounds of the doors for these rooms are very loud, and I could see being annoyed if the floor were fully rented with lots of coming & going at odd hours. I always bring heavy-duty earplugs when I travel, so noise wasn't an issue for me this time. I'd definitely return to this hotel for my next visit to Laussane, and if the season were summer, I'd ask for a room on the lakeside. Sunsets over the lake can be spectacular!

Hotel Mirabeau is an absolutely charming hotel with some of the best staff we've experienced in Switzerland. The front desk team was so welcoming and genuinely helpful. We travel here quite a bit to visit my husband's family (usually 4-6 weeks at a time) -- we find special hotels like this are not easy to come by and this one is a stand-out! We've stayed in Ouchy at some of the "higher end" hotels and although also extremely nice, we enjoyed being a little further outside the more touristy area to absorb real life in Lausanne. If you have time, try out Le Flon, easily reached by the nearby train station if you're w/out a car. Great atmosphere for dining, shopping and people watching (modern/urban outdoor setting). Also, do not be swayed by the hotel's Best Western affiliation. This is by no means like any BW in the United States.

In 30 different countries and countless hotels in the past 50 years this was one of the best. Check in and out went smooth and efficient as did dinner service. The room was clean, comfortable and spacious. The food in the dining room was cooked and presented perfectly

I stayed here for about three nights in July 2014. Pros: very friendly and helpful staff, nice breakfast, and a good location. Cons: the shower sucks-it's one of those fake shower doors that doesn't enclose the entire shower, so it's basically impossible to take one without flooding the entire bathroom. Another major con is that you can hear neighboring doors to easily-too much noise for a hotel at this price point. The White Noise app from my phone was the only attempted solution. The shower doors are a major drawback for me-I probably should only give one or two stars. For example, I don't think I can stay here again because of the shower. However, if not for the shower doors and noise inside, it would get five stars.
