These airports provide the fastest and most cost-effective access to Lausanne via SBB rail services or budget coach options. Lyon Saint-Exupery Airport (LYS) is located at a distance of 148.4 km and offers a balanced mix of rail and bus connections, though it is slightly further away. Grenoble Airport (GNB), at 163.5 km, presents the most challenging transit, requiring complex shuttle and train connections, making private taxi transfers the preferred mode of comfort. Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP) is the furthest at 189.9 km and serves as a major gateway for international travelers, though it requires longer travel times and multiple transfers to reach the Lausanne city center.

The hotel has good hygiene conditions. The room has a relatively large space and a simple decoration style. However, the hair dryer in the bathroom is fixed to the wall and the switch is difficult to control, which makes it somewhat inconvenient to use. In addition, some of the curtains in the room fell off, which led to the dazzling sunshine in the morning and affected our sleep.FromUS$233

The hotel is located in a very convenient location, near both the metro and train station. The staff at the front desk and breakfast buffet were also very pleasant and friendly. Although there were a few hiccups with regards to the rooms conditions, when mentioned, the service recovery by front office staff Michelle was very fast and satisfactory! Thank you for making the stay more pleasant and enjoyable.
A travel guide book was also provided during check in that's shows the must sees and dos in Lausanne.FromUS$130

This place was fantastic! Spotlessly clean, incredibly friendly staff, and the breakfast was delicious. The best feature is the location: just a 10-minute walk from one of Lousan's best beaches. As a fantastic perk, they provide a free transportation card, which made the 30-minute trip to the Olympic Museum easy and convenient. The only thing to note is that there isn't a supermarket immediately nearby, so plan accordingly. A truly wonderful stay!FromUS$53

This room is spacious, clean and tidy. It is right by the lake. If the weather is good, the snow-capped mountains and lakes opposite are beautiful. It is very close to the Olympic Committee. The shortcomings are: 1. The bathroom and shower are separated by a bedroom, which makes it awkward to go to the bathroom while taking a shower. 2. The floor is too old and needs to be polished and oiled to be decent. In short, the flaws are not enough to overshadow the advantages. I will choose this hotel again.FromUS$352

This was the perfect hotel for a solo trip to Lausanne. The single room was perfect for just me, the amenities were great, and it was a 7 minute walk from the train station. Super easy to find, in a great location, and perfect when you don't need a big fancy room just for yourself. Would definitely stay here again.FromUS$133

Because of this journey, I stayed for ten days and I should have been very satisfied with this hotel, but the attitude of the front desk clerk on the last day has given me another view!  I think the guests don't understand English and say some bad things. Too friendly to talk!FromUS$125

The hotel can be said to be a classic of luxury hotels in the world. It is very famous. The hotel is located on the beautiful shore of Lake Geneva. The environment is extremely beautiful and the hotel feels like a palace. Every restaurant in the hotel is very popular. It is difficult to book a table in the evening, but the breakfast does not feel cost-effective enough.FromUS$657

The hotel is conveniently located close to the station, which also has a Coop supermarket. However, the uphill walk to the hotel can be a bit challenging. The Cathedral is less than a 10-minute walk away, and from a nearby subway station, you can easily reach the southern port. The Olympic Museum is also just a stone's throw away. The lady at the front desk was very pleasant and greeted us with a smile. We really appreciate her service.FromUS$154

The entire Lausanne terrain has a large gap, so the roads are all slopes. Therefore, you must step seven or eight steps into the hotel, so you need to move your luggage. The hotel is more refined, that is, the room is not big, but there is a balcony, the overall feeling is a little old Keller. It is very close to a subway station, but we did not take the subway and walk.FromUS$148
