Convenient.

Nice place in a convenient part of town. Close to the train station and shopping. Our room was nice. Nothing fancy, but in good condition, decent air conditioning and a good coffee maker. All that we needed for one night.

Lovely hotel.

Very good location. Close to everything. Didn’t realise this town was all up and down hills. Ok for us, but if you have walking difficulties, maybe not. Motel was lovely. We had top floor room with a balcony and beautify view of the mountains.

We really had a wonderful stay here. The private garden is very cute. There's no air conditioning but a nice fan is provided. The room is spacious and the furnishing is tasteful and very comfortable. The windows also open, which is a plus. There's adequate working space in the room and the bathroom was very good too. Will definitely return when needed.

I booked a room for 3 nights at this hotel. My husband had to cancel the 3rd night to be by his mother’s side. She passed away. He informed the hotel a day ahead and asked if they could help with a refund for that last night due to the circumstances. It was very disappointing that they did not refund/ even partially. This is the only reason I would not book there again. I think it was very short sighted given my family will be attending a wedding there in August. I emailed the hotel directly and never even got a courtesy reply.

Worth the Wait

We saw a little more of Lausanne than we, thanks to some road work and detours. But once we made our way to Hotel Elite, everything was great for a quick visit. The 5-minute walk from the train station with luggage turned into 25 minutes, but it paid off with a comfortable, spacious room in this handsome hotel — with an elevator. We had our choice of restaurants within a short walk that night and were on the edge of the historic City Center for a walking tour the next day. The route to the Cathedral has some steep stretches, so we used the convenient Metro to reach it and work our way back down hill. Our stay included a hearty, hot breakfast in a cozy dining room. And the manager bailed me out. I booked the wrong night, and she shifted it to the next night at no extra charge. Thanks, Hotel Elite.

While the hotel is older, it is classic! Old-world style without being worn out. The staff was great. Very close to the train station. We were impressed by Georgi, who checked us in. A wonderful ambassador for the hotel! This was our first stay, but it will not be our last!!!

It’s fine. Old school. No coffee in rooms or downstairs until breakfast, and then charged. So I had to go to the station early to get coffee and come back. The key they give you is giant. So it is an inconvenient morning experience, which is the opposite of what I want from a hotel. But the location is top notch for a train visit, and close to the walking path down to the lake. Bed and shower were fine, room was small.

Quick and easy check in. The only challenge, which should be temporary, is that the main access road to the property is blocked by construction. The detour can be challenging to locate.
