    The Hotel is literally in the center of Lausanne and everything is accessible at walking distance. It has an amazing hidden terrace with beautiful city and lake view.

    The personnel was really friendly. We asked to keep our rooms one more hour, which was not a problem. The rooftop terrace with an amazing view over Lausanne, free coffee and tea was a highlight.
