The family room is quite spacious and offers wonderful lake views from the 6th floor. The staff are helpful, and the breakfast is enjoyable. The hotel is just a few minutes' walk from the M2 metro, though there is a slight uphill incline to reach it.

Our room was not only spacious but also had a truly incredible view of Lausanne and Lake Geneva! The staff was very helpful. Breakfaast was plentiful and varied--but be sure to get there by 9:30--the staff clears the offerings by 10:00 a.m. The hotel is a half block from the subway and very convenient for most tourist destinations.

The restaurant at the property served very good steak. The property is basically a part of the hospital next door and you will see some patients who stay for the hospital cares in the breakfast venue. It felt strange when we realised that fact, but actually not a problem at all for the quality and price you get. And we saw a few new-born babies, which is a blessing.
