I came to Lausanne for just a night with several friends, and I am in love with this hotel. The rooms are small, tv is tiny, and beds aren't so great. However, the rooms are beautiful, bathrooms recently updated with baths and my towel warmer is quite handy. I would definite recommend this hotel to my friends! We booked off of tripadvisor and spent $100 for a Friday night. Not bad!

Super hip, botique hotel, very central location. Downstairs is a restaurant coffee shop/bar. On…read morethe 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.

One the lake, beautiful weather, people, and of courses my stunning date. We went here on August 2nd, to eat. I wanted to check this out just because of the location. The bruschetta was great. I love tomatoes and bread with some olive oil and balsamic. How do you say no to this? It is delicious. We split a pizza, and it was delightful. Nothing overly filing because I mean we had some other places to try. The service was great, being tourists with backpacks, we felt like there was no judgement. We had a airol spritz like at the cafe du centre. Again, such an amazing drink and maybe we had a couple that day. It was pretty awesome. The lower reviews here, I mean, like for real, grow up homies.

The atmosphere, unquestionably, is fantastic namely on the count that you're on the shores of Lake Geneva with one of the best views one can have. That's the good. Now, the bad is that service is awful - full stop. Slow, grumpy, yadda yadda yadda. No Star. Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost? 22,00 CHF for a full English Breakfast isn't something I haven't seen before, but in those previous situations I received a feast to be sure. I initially thought this too was a feast, but it turned out to be a feast predominantly of beans. More on that later, but for Lausanne and the atmosphere the price point wasn't quite fully unreasonable. Star. Stars 3 and 4: How was the food? Looking at the picture, you might suspect I was initially quite excited for this - I was. It looked great, it looked complex, and it looked like a unique iteration of the full english in bowl form. Interesting! Unfortunately, it was in practice far less complicated, because underneath it was really all just beans with the rest sprinkled on top. So, so, so, so many beans, and they took over the entire dish not in the good way. Single Star. Star 5: Would you be excited to go back? I would not. No Star.

The front desk staff was exceptionally helpful securing us a last minute reservation for dinner w/ our kids at Le Chat Noir, which was a fantastic meal. The front desk had to call many places to find a place with availability and they were happy to do so. And the location was close to everything - Restaurants of all kinds, coffee shops, the cathedral, the main sights downtown. The train station was a bit further but still just a long walk. The hotel also includes a free transit pass. I would highly recommend Hôtel de la Paix if you're staying Lausanne, a beautiful city.
