7.4/10

The hotel offers spacious, unique, modern, and luxurious rooms, which was a nice change from the usual European hotels. Although the rooms are slightly old and certain areas like the toilets and wash can show signs of wear, the size was quite generous for a comfortable stay. The service was accommodating and quickly accommodated our request for a room with an enclosed bathroom, but it could have been friendlier and less indifferent. The location is excellent, near the train station of Lausanne, providing easy access to public transport and tourist attractions around Lake Geneva. The dining options were minimal but acceptable, with some aspects needing improvement like cooked-to-order eggs. Overall, the facilities were satisfactory.

The hotel is conveniently located near the train station with spacious family rooms, though the room change process lacked assistance and compensation. The bathroom stands out as premium in contrast to the basic motel-like room comfort. The staff showed some accommodating behavior but could improve their initial guest interactions, especially when fully booked.
