The hotel is conveniently located in the heart of the city. From the train station, it is a bit of a walk uphill. We had been traveling by train and decided to take a taxi to the hotel. Walking back to the train station was easy, as it was all downhill.

Everything is very modern and renovated. I loved our modern bathroom and shower. The bed was very comfortable. A portable air conditioner was also provided. The staff was friendly. Breakfast was included and it was as good as other hotel breakfasts that cost extra. This hotel was a good value.

This hotel is middle of a shopping center which makes it hard to get in if you have a car. The parking is around half mile away. You have to unload or load your luggage then take your car to a $17 per day public parking. They also don't have A/C but a portable one which doesn't work much even in June because of the air circulation in the hotel. Otherwise, the hotel is clean and breakfast is good.

Lovely Stay in Lausanne

Our first night of a Switzerland vacation, Hotel des Voyageurs was a great start.Staff were very friendly and helpful. We had two special requests that they handled flawlessly. Our room was a two-room suite - bedroom and sitting room. Both comfortable. The breakfast room is bright, spotless, offering well presented good food. The hotel is well located, an easy walk from the train station to connect from Geneva airport or to go down to Ouchy for dinner. The only drawback was that the hotel (like many in Switzerland) is not air conditioned so we were a bit warm (summer high temperatures).

Very nice place in the center of Lausanne, friendly, clean, of course. Maybe management should consider asking the guest if they want to have towels changed everyday to reduce some more the environmental impact of the stay.
Last, breakfast is nice, largely sufficient and diverse. If and when back in Lausanne, if still within my price range, I'll gladly stay there.

nice hotel

it's a three stars hotel, but it's in the city centre which is easy to access via either walking or underground. it have a quite big room, the soundproof has a little bit problem, opposite my room, there's an old couple which turned TV volume a little higer and I can clearly hear every words in that TV show around 11.30pm. Anyway, they turned TV off shortly.

The recepitionist is helpful and very nice lady. Breakfast is very nice but they requsted switzerland covid pass rather than NHS covid pass to access the canteen is a strange request which I was in swizterland just for 5 days, no any restaurant and hotel request that. I understood that's maybe Swiss rule but apply that Switzerland Covid pass takes 5 working days, it's obviously not suited with short time travellers. It should be considered by the Hotel.

A nice little hotel in center of Lausanne

Deluxe room
Pros:
- Clean and modern
- Room size adequate for one person
- Bed very comfortable
- Good selection of channels on TV
- Bathroom with a modern feel
- Good pressure of water from the shower.
- Good breakfast assortment.
- Location close to many shops
- Really nice service and help from the hotel desk

Cons:
- a bit of leakage from the shower area to the restroom area due to the design of the shower door
- no view and nearly no sun light. I had a view on the backyard. It is acceptable for a few days stay but not for more. Maybe the rooms on the streets are better regarding this issue, but I cannot give a comment for those rooms.
- USB plugs near the beds were non working (4x USB) and I could not find a power outlet near the bed.
- As read in a previous comment, a self serving coffee machine for the breakfast would be welcome.

Upon checkin, they provided us with the travel pass for the city, which meant that we were able to take advantage of the public transportation system.

Excellent location, within easy walking distance of Flon metro station and Lausanne shops, restaurants and bars. It’s a very quiet hotel, despite its location; you heard hardly any noise from outside or from other guests, such as doors closing and footfalls of others that are normally experienced in hotels. We stayed in an inner room, overlooking the breakfast room roof so not overlooking the street. Therefore can’t comment on whether front facing rooms encounter any noise from outside. These rooms do however have small balconies.

It’s a small hotel, with just a reception area and breakfast room. Buffet breakfast with good choices, the scrambled egg sometimes ran out but they’d make you some on request. The hotel is Art Deco style, which has been well refurbished, with lovely features.

We stayed in a very comfortable superior room, with a nice bathroom and great shower. Good TV and channels. Coffee maker, kettle and tea and coffee provided, the only improvement would be some milk cartons as you could only have black tea/coffee.

Free water was provided in the fridge for the duration of our stay, a very nice touch.

We stayed here whilst visiting family living in Lausanne and will definitely book this hotel again.

Confusing information

It's really not fair for me to give a rating since I couldn't stay here... I sent two emails already with no response from Hotels.com. My paperwork said that if you arrive after 11 pm, you have to make other arrangements, which is what I did, since my trains were delayed... but once I got Wi-Fi, I had been sent an email from the hotel telling me an access code to get my keys! This hotel booking was stressful! And ultimately expensive since I had to pay for two hotels that night.

Not a Hotel for Everyone

This Hotel was not for us because:

The room was hot and stuffy. No air conditioning. The fan did not cut it. We visited when weather was hot. Therefore, it was difficult to sleep under these conditions.
The bed mattress was not comfortable. We are not fans of memory foam.
Because of the room dimensions and location of the one window directly behind the bed, the room had insufficient natural light for us. As a result, we felt claustrophobic.
The pillows were not comfortable.
The sheets were rough, not soft.
No coffee maker. A Nespresso machine would have been nice for a coffee while my wife was still in bed.
The lighting from various electric bulbs was rather harsh.
The room felt very tight.

Having said that, we liked the location, the price, the wifi and the breakfast. The room was clean. Bathroom was nice, but space between sink and shower very tight. The shower door did not close fully resulting in some water escaping in front of the sink.
