ibis Styles Lausanne Center Mad House

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.

Staff friendly and flexible. Loved the edgy vibe and aesthetic to the lobby and communal areas. The room was a little compact with an interesting WC/Shower layout. Not much room for hanging clothes.

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.

Great location and room was fine for a few days - loved the USB chargers, UK adapter, coffee machine (nice touches). Room was OK in size for us. Staff were pleasant and helpful. 2 issues 1. The cubicle for the shower leaked and flooded the room after 3 minutes. 2. Smoking on the rooftop bar was horrible and totally ruined our meal (which wasn't cheap), it would be nice to have a non smoking section.

It was a decent stay , here are a few things you might want to improve or adjust: The terrace was never opened and the cigarette smell was too strong and unpleasant around the lobby. Having the toilet and shower in the room without a door separating them from the bed area seems very unsanitary. There should be windows in the room that you could open to ventilate and help the air circulation around the room. My room did not have windows to open.

Visiting Lausanne for one night, I stayed in this hotel and I think it's the worst hotel I've stayed in, especially for the price (150 CHF with breakfast). The only positive point is the location as the hotel is next to the metro. Check-in is only possible from 4pm and we had to vacate the room by 11am, barely enough time to settle in. The room is tiny and the windows don't open. The toilet and shower are built in, so there is no ventilation and a mouldy smell in the shower. To compensate for the lack of ventilation and air-conditioning, the hotel has installed a mobile air-conditioning unit in the corridor, which leaves a door ajar. This door opens onto the stairs leading to the rooftop, which can be used by guests outside the hotel, which is not safe. In room 20, you are unlucky enough to have both a view of the car park and a wall, which means that you have no privacy and the only way to have any is to deprive yourself of natural light. What's more, under the bed, a plastic box is trying to hide wires protruding from the floor, and according to the hotel staff, this is perfectly normal. In addition, the breakfast was very disappointing, with very few options. The products are installed on the bar, which means that certain products such as the hot drinks machine are not freely accessible. In short, I absolutely do not recommend this hotel.

Being a business hotel I expected a small but functional room. It was just small, very small. Not even a shelf to put the suitcase, toilet and shower built into a sort of closet and a sink so small that you can't wash your face. Finally, lack of complete soundproofing, being in the center and above the subway this is a problem. However the staff is friendly, the bar very cozy, and position good.

Ok hotel very central in Flon, next to the metro station. Rooms are small but clean and service is good. Friendly staff. Cool style of interior, staff and guests

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.
