Wonderful stay! My room was facing away from the train tracks which I think made some difference, but it was a great view, really helpful staff, and a wonderful expereince.

The Lausanne Guesthouse was in a great location, walking distance from the train station and pretty much everywhere else. Having a kitchen you can use added bonus points for me as eating out in Switzerland would have been harsh. The facilities are really clean to which was great. Only thing that took it down a nitch for me was there was no lockers for large backpacks only valuables.

Hello Liam, Thanks for your nice comment. That's right the lockers are not done for large backpack but only for values. We are open for 10 years now and any luggage has been stohlen so far. Maybe Switzerland is still safer than other places...

Very clean and well organized. The staff is helpful and polite. If you miss the breakfast, go out and look for any boulangerie. There's a locker outside any room, but a small storage space inside would be sometimes helpful...

This guest house is extremely well located and clean. I received a day pass for public transportation that helped a lot. I missed though, some good environment for backpackers to get together or have drinks. Rooms are a bit too small and they could put either automatic or paper to dry hands on the WC. Apart from that, my review is very positive.

The bathroom is too short and the hostel isn\'t prepared for the winter. For example, at 10 o\'clock, someone of the staff turned of the heater. Moreover, the elevator was broken.
