Hôtel-Restaurant Le Raisin

It is a nice spot the interior has changed since all the public photos so don't be shocked if it's different. The service was good not specially good but normal. The food was good too the pizza was something I really liked but the pasta not so much I personally thought that the sauce was too heavy for my liking.

Where is customer is not king Ordered the beef tartare, which was completely laced with coarsely grated cheese. Told them I do not eat cheese. The waitress offered to ask the cook to replace the meat, but never came back. Ended up eating the cold fries, the tiny salad and the few slices of toast it came with. Another waiter came to clear the table, said the only thing he could do was to offer coffee, which I declined still being hungry. Got charged full price and left while staff was loudly saying : "We cannot offer him a free beef tartare" Went to Manor, ate takeout Chinese chicken. At least I was not hungry anymore... Never going back to "Le Raisin"

Pretty appalling accommodation. We stayed over for one night and were in the ‘Attic Suite’ - after scaling endless staircases. It was like a furnace on this hot August day with very little ventilation other than a couple of skylights at each end of the bedroom and kitchen section. There was NO hot water the whole time we were there. In spite of telling the proprietors when we had checked in - nothing was done. Our colleagues in another room also had freezing cold water and on telling the duty staff the next morning, they didn’t even know about it. The cherry on the cake was our room being perfectly opposite the town hall clock bell that burst in to song EVERY half hour and longer on each hour! We left feeling shattered and pretty annoyed. Couldn’t bare another ice cold shower in the morning. Not in the habit of posting reviews or dissing establishments, but these folks need a wake-up call and spend a little more time looking after guests rather than running ragged on the restaurant side - which thankfully we did not try. Avoid.

The blonde waitress is rude and her service is poor. They told us that they charged for water no matter it is tap water or still water. While we asked for small plates, she didn’t bring enough ones. And her attitude was bad when we asked about the charge for water. The Food we ordered is salty.

The food was good although I got something different (lack of my French). I ordered Bruschetta w guacamole. The waiter asked something in French, I didn't understand. So I got - I call it- Avocado Toast w Shrimps. It was tasty but that's not what I wanted. Also: when I wanted to pay, Fr 9.60, the waitress told me: "The minimum amount for Credit Card is $20!) > so she charged $20 and gave me Fr 10.00.

Worse service ever, don’t go!

Very good pasta-pesto.

Terrible service. I have never been treated so badly in a bar/restaurant.

Very nice lunch spot in this small charming town. I had the eggplant which was very good and filling . My partner had a veal special of the day which he enjoyed . Very pleasant visit here .

Great place and good food! I tried this restaurant last night with some other friends and it was excellent. Atmosphere 5/5: Great atmosphere. The restaurant has put special consideration on the decoration with purple wallpapers and lighting that create a warm and modern atmosphere. Great job! Food 4/5: Food was more than average. I had a Mixed Green Salad and a Napoli Pizza. The salad was good with a kind of vinegar sauce. The Pizza was excellent and what you can find in any other good Pizza place. Service 3/5: Service was good and the waiter did a good job serving us. The only point I didn't like the approach is how they made us feel uncomfortable when it was time to leave because the restaurant was closing. A simple sentence telling us that the restaurant will close in 5 min would have been enough. Instead, the waiter turned off the music and switched off the light. Beside that, everything was over average and prices were really good actually! Not too pricey compared to other restaurants. We payed 150 CHF ish for 4 persons.

I thought Raisin was Swiss for something else, until I arrived at the hotel & saw a bunch of grapes at the hotel logo signage. Who knew! My travels to Lausanne Switzerland have taken me here for 2 nights at the Hotel du Raisin. The reviews listed here are for the restaurant only, but I stayed here at the hotel portion and did not dine at the restaurant portion, especially since there were a handful of restaurants and other dining options I can choose from - including the McDonald's and Starbucks nearby! My arrival was through Geneva aeroport then the train to Lausanne, then the local metro to Riponne-M. Bejart train stop. A short walk commences and you're there to the hotel. The Hotel du Raisin is not your typical airport, considering that the lobby is basically the restaurant. I literally walked past it when I was trying to find it till I realized where it was! Hotel du Raisin sports about 3 stories of hotel rooms and the hotel office administration. The hotel doesn't seem like it was grand or didn't stick out. It felt like some apartment building with an attached restaurant / café. Not that it was bad, but that's how the physical outside appealed to me when I arrived. The entire experience was rather good. Felt like a loft rather than an actual hotel, but you do what you can, especially when you're in Lausanne Switzerland! Hotel du Raisin is located at the Place de la Plaud in Lausanne. Quite a nice area to be in, where there's a handful of restaurants and shopping options to choose from in the immediate vicinity. Or you can venture into downtown Lausanne and in Ouchy and have a blast! Parking here can be a wee bit tricky, since I don't know if there are areas of parking you can park it. Since I did use the train, metro, and walking to get around Lausanne, I can't tell you how it is around here. I'm sure there is a parking area or garage around the hotel. I just haven't found it just yet. The Hotel du Raisin is my headquarters for the 2014 Lausanne marathon & half marathon that happened on October 26, 2014. Yes sir, can't come to Europe without having an excuse to race, I mean sightsee and enjoy. With that in mind, the Hotel du Raisin accepts the major credit cards, which is always a plus. This hotel does not employ the plastic electronic keys we all know and love. It's the industry standard in most parts of the world, but some properties like to keep their properties rather unique and use metal keys. The room itself was large enough, but small in some standards. It was a standard room with 2 double beds. I have forgotten the room number, but I stayed on the 2nd floor, since I had to go up 2 flights of stairs to get to the room. The shower was pretty good and the room was very clean and organized. The wifi signal in the room was excellent and required a password. The password can be found in the room, next to the bed on an informational letter to the guest. The bed itself was pretty good, as I did get some decent sleep during my stay. The check in process was rather unique, since I had to go through the restaurant to check in. They found my reservation tacked on the restaurant wall and proceeded to pay with my credit card. I was handed my room key and proceeded upstairs. It was quite interesting, but it was good. I'm glad that they had the reservation, versus not having it at all. The weekend in Lausanne Switzerland was enjoyable and very cozy in the room. The prices here are comparable with other properties in Lausanne, but it was about 139 CHF per night. It was the closest to Place de la Navigation, where I needed to be anyway, that was cheap enough. The check out process was okay. Sunday night was a ghost town, so when Monday morning came, I just dropped off my room key in front of the hotel office door, where a sign read "Please return room key". And so, I did just that. Overall, I would stay here again, if my travels come back to Lausanne again. Be farewarned though, Lausanne is not cheap, but the area and town is quite nice. I felt safe here as an American tourist traveling abroad. I would definitely recommend staying at the Hotel du Raisin, if you don't mind the apartment style condo room units. Nothing like the suites of Sheraton or Hyatt though! Support local! B+

We had the Regina pizza which had ham, arugula, and tomatoes on it. It was a wonderful thin crust pizza that was a good size for two people to share if they aren't very hungry. It is served with a spicy olive oil which was nice for the crusts. We sat outside which was very pleasant. We even got to see the marching guys on the clock in action. It can be loud when the cathedral bells are ringing.

Good restaurant. We are siting in the terrace, food is 5/4, speed and service 2.5/5. Rose is good, spagetti carbonara grate 4.5/5, hamburger the beaf & garn. 4.5/5.

Good food, many choices, very well located, Reasonnably priced. All in all a great place for Italian food. The first floor is much friendlier than the downstairs which looks mostly like a bistrot

we walked around and wanted to try something new. we choose this place, and It was very nice. the candlelit table, waiters, soft music was very nice!! the pesto/pasta I had was very fresh, and my wifes cesar salad was crisp and just right amount of spice. cannot wait to return
