ibis Styles Lausanne Center Mad House

I appreciated very much the friendly and helpful reception staff, from the check-in through to bar/food service and checkout. The room was small but very clean, comfortable and fun with the special effects lighting and mad house decoration. The panettone offered with the coffee and tea was a very nice touch. The hotel is ideally located with access to Lausanne's two metro lines, one of which connected me easily to the university for my meeting there. The only point of criticism is the sound isolation, which isn't perfect, so it took me some time to get to sleep with the noise coming from the street.

We were instantly impressed with the good location to public transport (right next to the metro) and the overall vibe of this hotel. My only minor gripe was the rooms are a little small but they are more than sufficient for a couple of nights. I would certainly recommend and all of the staff I dealt with were very friendly and helpful, would definitely return if in the area again.

Bit of an odd hotel but it worked for us for a few days. ||Positives: |Central Location:|Right beside the metro to get around the city or to Ouchy. Walkable distance to centre, cathedral etc. It's a walkable city if you like hills - we walked everywhere. ||Rooms: |Had everything we needed and even more. Water and complimentary muffin each day was welcomed, coffee machine was a blessing. Had hairdryer and fresh towels. Even had some extra things ear plugs, condoms 😉 and an adapter for UK/EU plugs. They had plenty USB cables for charing phones. Bed was small but comfy and the fan was fine. The rooms were quiet from the noise outside, sadly not from the other inconsiderate guests. ||Rooftop Bar: |Pleasant but as in Europe, everyone smokes so felt our meal was ruined by smoke. It would have been nice to stay and enjoy the views but it was just too smoky the day we went. ||Staff:|The man who checked us in was welcoming and very helpful. ||Negatives:|There's no bathroom as such - just a partitioned cubicle toliet and shower. The sink is in the corner of the room rather than bathroom. Fine for a few days but our shower flooded the room after a few minutes. ||There's no wardrobe - just 2 coat hangers. We got caught in a rain storm and trying to dry things in a tiny room was hard. ||It would be very cramped if you had big suitcases - we just had backpacks so went under the bed but bear in mind the rooms are small.

Really cute, cozy, comfortable hotel situated right on top of public transportation and a promenade with shops, restaurants and bars. The hotel bar/restaurant has good vibes and good food. I found the service to be outstanding from the 5 or 6 staff members that I encountered during my stay. This place was great for me.

I knew beforehand that this hotel was not going to be tranquil and relaxing, I just needed a room for one night in a central location. The staff at check-in were very helpful and friendly. The room was very small and definitely needs some renovations and restructuring. Disappointing was the breakfast and the way the woman at the buffet was handling it. The “scrambled eggs” came straight from a package, were cold and absolutely disgusting. There was no fresh bread and first after asking several times they brought some baguettes after 20min.

It’s ok… just ok. I guess for the price you can’t expect more in Lausanne. Location is super central but also extremely noisy. My room was very small but the “bathroom” was designed in a way that it was impossible not to flood the room every time you took a shower… Staff are nice and welcoming

A fantastic hotel right in the middle of Lausanne Font and next door to the Metro. Its quirkiness adds to the ambience. Very friendly and professional staff. Breakfast was more than adequate and plentiful. Rooms on the small side but very clean and tidy, public areas en route to rooms are a little tired and in need of upgrade.

We loved it, made our weekend very enjoyable. Room was comfy and the Roof bar was brilliant as well as the ground floor bar with entertainment! we will stay here again!

Super hip, botique hotel, very central location. Downstairs is a restaurant coffee shop/bar. On the roof is a cool bar! Check in was smooth. We got there early and they held our bags. Rooms were modern and very small. VERY SMALL. Like the toilet and shower are just at the foot of the bed, sort of like a cubical in an office and the sink placed in between. So make sure you go with someone you are comfortable with in a very very small space. They are quite efficient with the use of such a small space, providing hooks and hangers for clothing and leaving space under the bed for your stuff, and somehow there was room for a small desk, great decorations and murals throughout. We had a revolving peace shaped red disco light in our room, does it get any better than that!? The little, thoughtful extra touches like the free welcome drink and gift (little music box) help a little in making up for the smallness! Coffee machine in the room made delicious coffee and the snacks and drinks provided are free! They give you ear plugs and condoms too! Apparently on the weekends it can get loud. We didn't spend a lot of time in the room so it being small wasn't a problem. The lobby and rooftop bar are great spots to hang out in and there is free wifi throughout the hotel and bars. Parking is close and they have a voucher that makes it 15 instead of 28 dollars. Would stay here again.
