  : The room was huge for european standards. It had an ample bathroom, comfy bedroom, and a separate lovely living room with a couch and a total of two desks to work from. Fast and reliable WiFi that was great for videocalls. The view is lovely in pretty much any direction because the neighborhood (and city) is lovely, but I overlooked a parking lot that was stunning in the sun.The location is good, you are very close to the main train station in the city with amazing connectivity as per usual in Switzerland. There are chain cafes and restaurants nearby, as well as some gourmet options. I didn't go around much, but did manage to see some of the main sights and I think this is overall a well positioned hotel to explore Lausanne.
  : A very minor detail is that there was some noisy maintenance work by staff in the mornings (think 10am-11am) which was disruptive to my sleep that day. Would have loved a notice at check-in time about this.Perhaps the only problem is that the walk to some part of the city is quite steep and a climb that you need to factor into your tourism time and energy, if you're there to explore.

  : The room (4th floor) was comfy and spacious, with a wonderful balcony giving us a fantastic view over the buildings to the lake and mountains. Fridge for use was a bonus. Staff were helpful and efficient. The location is great, a few moments from the station and metro. We didn't have the breakfast option - similar Lausanne prices to anywhere else but there are cafes, bakeries and food stores really close by which suited us better. Parking available on site is useful although the park and ride at nearby Ouchy is less than half the price - we had too much luggage and were feeling very lazy so it was convenient to park directly outside for our short stay. Would definitely book again.

  : Outstanding location, opp the main train station and next to the Metro. We were given a triple room, so it had adequate space for storage and to move around. The breakfast was average.
  : Whilst it may not be applicable to the youth, although we were healthy Seniors, its tough getting to Elite if you've come by public transport. The cobblestone road opp the train station to Elite is 75-80 metres steep uphill and to wheel a suitcase over these stones, it was tough. If you're not fit, then going up and down this slope every time you have to step out, could be a disaster. The alternative is stairs with 65 stone steps!The breakfast wasn't up to the mark and could do with improvement overall.
