Lausanne Guesthouse & Backpacker Reviews

Okay experience. They put us in separate rooms because something went wrong with the booking but the staff was friendly and helpful for sure. Not a great community feel - everyone is pretty quiet and on their own. Location was great. Right near the train station and close to the metro.

The hostel is very nice. I recommend it.

We really enjoyed our stay here. It was my first backpackers experience so I was a bit worried, as I'd heard crazy stories from friends about how dirty some of them can be. This backpackers/guesthouse was immaculately clean, staff were so friendly going out of their way to assist. A very positive experience and happy to highly recommend.

Quite nice hostel, it's just a pity that the common spaces are not the ideal for socialising

The Staff are all so helpful and welcoming. The accommodation was very clean and the beds super comfortable. This is a dream location for trainspotters and small boys - you can wave to the drivers from the private bathroom, and look straight into the station from the landing windows! Good discounts on the pizza restaurant and the boulangerie just down the hill for breakfast: both good venues for the evening meal and breakfast respectively.

I had an amazing stay here the staff where lovely and the hostel itself was good with its well equipped kitchen, good garden and clean shower room. It was a little out of everything with a short up hill walk but it was easy to get to from the station. It is close to the train lines however so you do hear the trains go past but the rooms are situated on the other side of the house so you can barely hear them until you have a shower. Would defo stay here again.

This hostel is loctated in a nice old building right next to the train station. Everything is walking distance. The Staff was very helpful. I was only unlucky as it was low season and there few travellers. One of my room mates was a women that stays there regularly when she is in Lausanne!

Wifi all around the hostel is included in the price and I really liked that you also get a metro/bus pass for the time of your stay.

I'm not sure whether it's the standard practice for not providing breakfast for hostels in Switzerland. But it should be much better if they include breakfast. Beside, they charged me again after I checked out without email explanation. I'm still checking the reason. I returned everything when I checked out.

This hostel was very nice and very clean. One of the receptionists is very rude, but the others were nice and friendly. I would stay here again if I ever go back to Switzerland.

I would stay in this hostel again. Really clean, nice staff, quiet and very convenient for the train station and for exploring Lausanne.

Great place to stay. The cleanest hostel I have ever seen. Convenient location and superfriendly staff! If I would have to think anything to add, reading light on each bed would be nice.

Good common room and kitchen. Near railway station and the cable car.

This hostel is absolutely recommendable. What it lacks in character and absence of its own bar is taken back in others goodies and the location, which is nearly perfect. The hostel is surprisingly clean, the showers and the kitchen (with induction stoves, cutlery, all the things needed for cooking, and plenty of space in the fridge to store food) are modern. The lockers were big enough to store my backpack and other things. Last but not least, the staff was really nice.

This is the best hostel I've ever found．

a nice place to stay!

Very handy to the station. Very tidy hostel and all amenities were available to use. I really like the army styled lockers. Very good security. If you just walk to the other side of the station there are plenty of places to eat. Wifi available in the rooms too. We enjoyed out stay.

Brilliant location - close to the central station, and easy to catch public transport anywhere for free (with the Lausanne Transport Card the hostel provides). Good kitchen facilities, but horrid bathroom set-up (with no privacy for showering). In all, a good stay.

Great staff and location

It is good , close to the Train Station..2 mins walking distance . close to the rail, public transportation is available right outside the door, well maintained with good standards...safe and healthy environment.
