Novotel Lausanne Bussigny was a real surprise - in a good way!
Let’s start with the best: the food. We stayed four nights, had dinner there every evening, and it was consistently excellent. Big applause to the chef and the friendly team serving the meals. This is not some basic hotel restaurant - it’s genuinely enjoyable.
Also loved the energy of the staff, especially one young guy at reception (sadly I didn’t catch his name) - super passionate, runs the Instagram, full of good vibes. You can feel there's solid management behind the scenes.
Now, let’s be honest: the location isn’t dreamy. Far from the centre, traffic is constant, and the garden and pool are more symbolic than relaxing. You’ll also hear the street quite a bit.
Bonus comedy: the parking lot seems to double as a Tesla charging party. A dozen drivers sitting in their cars on their phones, waiting to charge. If you're an electric car owner, bring patience. If you’re not, enjoy the show.
Would I come back? Yes - not for vacation, but for decent sleep, good dinner, and good people.
