Dear All! I missed the lockers and the shelves from the room. There is no place to put the small everyday used things (eg.: toothbrush, shower gel, socks, underware) But anyway the place was good and clean. It's pretty for few days.

J'ai beaucoup apprécié l'ambiance calme qui régnait dans l'auberge. Je me trouvais sous pression à cause d'un examen à passer le lendemain mais les quelques discussions en anglais avec les baroudeurs du coin que j'ai pu partagé me détendaient beaucoup.

This is a good well managed hostel, well located for train travelers. A good place to stay while exploring western Switzerland by rail.

It's a very nice place to stay! It's a 3 stars backpacker! Like most of backpackers in Switzerland! It's also more expansive... The 2 bad points was that the welcome was correct but not really good, and that when I come back to my room in the night, my cover that I left on my bunk bed had disappeared.

The staff at the place was really nice and good. The place is also located near the sation but it is a little complicate to get there. There ara indication to get there once go get out of the train staation but it is not easy to see them. The place is very clean and very well organized. It is expensive for a backpacker but the country is extremelly expensive in general, so otherwise it will be almost impossible to stay at this city.

Good Hostel. It was so near from the train station that you can see it from the train station. So about noise... the railway is behind the hostel.

one of the more expensive hostels that i have stayed in, but lausanne was limited on options, so we went with this hostel. great location. very close to the train station. old town is very close, and the metro to the lake was very accessible. hostel staff was very helpful, though their knowledge of other swiss towns was somewhat limited.

This hostel had good facilities and was very clean. I did not bring a towel but got a nice large towel for a mere two francs. Furthermore, as I understood, it is usually very quiet in the hostel, so you can get some good sleep like I did my second night. My first night was quite disturbed by some high school students on the same floor out for a party, but the hostel found this unacceptable and the parents of the youths reimbursed the night of my entire room. Friendly staff, I recommend it!

We arrived after 1am and the hostel tried to put the entire 3 night stay for my 3 friends and I on my card with out my permission which did not go through because it was unexpected (I was only supposed to pay for myself). This resulted in problems with my card and having to deal with contacting Visa in order to get the situation worked out.
