It was not expensive but there were lots of unacceptable things about this hotel. No air conditioning or fan. Rooms are hot. Shower stall extremely small. Severe internet problems - very frustrating for guests and staff who said it was a longstanding issue for the hotel. It took several trips and requests to the front desk staff to attempt connection and finally to be told only my device would be allowed to connect as they have limits. Too bad for my wife. To top all this off, the front desk is completely closed for several hours during the day each day. This is unacceptable. The hotel is very old and the area surrounding it it kind of seedy. Its a 15 minute walk to the Metro which is it’s one redeeming feature. Even though we are not fussy travelers we cannot recommend this hotel or the area

The toilet room smelled like urine. The shower curtain had mold on the bottom. But otherwise
My room was comfortable with the fan on and window open. I appreciated the kitchenette. The Expedia site said there was laundry on site but I had to walk 8 min to a laundromat. But the laundromat had instructions in English and big machines that worked quickly. Great location to get where I wanted in Lausanne.

The room was really average, but acceptable for the price - sparsely furnished but almost sufficient. What really bothered me was that it was dark: there was no overhead light and only one bedside lamp with a 15watt orange bulb that even when directly pointed at a book did not provide sufficient light to read. The brightest light was in the bathroom - the spotlights built into the cabinet over the sink - useful! But too far to serve as a reading light for the bedroom. There was a desk but no desk lamp and only a small light over the tv (a useless piece of furniture if you want to read) and the tv completely blocked it so you couldn’t really use the desk either. The room was overheated but the windows did open.
The place seems quiet at night except I got unlucky with some street noise from a loud drunk…
The bed was clean but there was a pee guard under the sheet that covered the middle area of the mattress - sth kept bunching up and I thought it was the sheets until I pulled out that plastic lined sheet about 20 inches wide. That was odd…
Probably would stay there again - but must remember to bring my own reading light!!

One of the better budget options I've stayed in. There was a lift. There was a small kitchenette however there was no plug in the kitchen sink, which made washing dishes difficult. I did ask reception and housekeeping about this but in my two day stay no plug was provided. I was locked in the shower cubicle! It used a very old lock and key, which was impossible to unlock, I had to shout out for help!

The password for the wi fi was sent to your phone as a text. If you didn't have service, no wi fi. It was a little tough cooling off the room.

has potential but wouldn't stay again

you can tell they started to renovate but something happened when you enter the bathroom or \"kitchen area\" (which is really just a closet with a sink, a mini fridge that didn't work, an electric kettle and coffee/tea supplies. the beds were fine, and the chair in the room quite elegant (although don't sit in it, it sinks). there is no air conditioning which can be common in Europe but being on the top floor it was horribly hot and the only window (which stayed wide open throughout our stay) is on the ceiling with no shade so the sunlight would wake us in the morning. The worst part was really the bathroom which is tiny (only one person can fit in at a time, and falling apart. My husband didn't even fit in the shower. He's a slim 6'2\" man but not a giant of any kind so this made it really uncomfortable. Between the heat and the disgusting bathroom, our stay was very uncomfortable. The staff is very friendly and they do give you a free transportation card (although we had the swiss family pass which covers most transportation). They say they are in the process of a renovation so I would definitely wait until it's done.

Nice hotel, great location.

This was a great little hotel near the centre of Lausanne. The staff were very helpful when we arrived as there is limited parking, but they managed to find us a space. Only drawback was there is no air conditioning and it was quite hot in August. Room is on the small side and so is the bathroom, especially shower which was a tight fit - but it was very clean and well decorated so not a problem. This hotel is very close to many lovely restaurants and old city sites. The staff were friendly and spoke English very well. Would definitely stay again.

Nice room but unacceptable bathroom

The private bathroom was not acceptable in the slightest as the sloping roof (I was on the top floor) meant that I was unable to stand upright to use the shower. Even kneeling was a stretch. When questioned, I was told to use the shared bathrooms available despite having paid for a private bathroom room. The room was also right next to a shared toilet meaning I heard the flushing noise constantly during the night. If you stay here make sure you confirm you will have a usable shower!!!

There was a small convenience store around the corner, coop wasn't too far and every location could pretty much be reached by foot. Metro was very close as well, hard to get lost getting to it from the hotel.

Still need to rectify whether we paid for two nights or overpaid for 3. Our cc was charged in the U.S. For one nights stay 3 days before our arrival.

Staying at Hotel du Marche

In general, our staying at the hotel can be valued positively. For a two-star hotel, I mean. Good location, very close to the metro station. Free travel cards for all public transport in Lausanne during our stay. The room was cleaned every day. We had coffee, tea, sugar and electric water boiler, so we could enjoy hot tea and coffee in our room.The only thing which we thought was not good is the mold in the corner of our room. Unfortunately we have noticed it too late to ask for changing for another room. We informed the staff at the reception though to avoid it for future guests - so,please, check your room when you check in. The mold is really bad for human health!!! All in all we would recommend this hotel as a really \"small budget\" place which really saves money in such an expensive country as Switzerland.

You don't expect much for the price charged at Hotel du Marche. And you get what you expect, more or less. The rooms are tiny, the beds are not real comfortable, and the walls are thin. On our first two nights we slept well, but on the third night a couple was \"making noise\" from 11 until 1 or 2 am, and we heard every detail. Not so pleasant, but solved with earplugs. The shared bathroom and shower at the end of the hall were tiny, but clean. But for the price, you only expect a clean, safe hotel room, and this hotel delivers.

The rooms were basic, small but tidy, and the bathroom (we had one in our room) was adequate, and clean. The beds were comfortable. Of note-the hotel rooms do NOT have hair dryers. Bring one, or borrow one (they have only 2) from the front desk. I liked the up to date keyless entry to the rooms, and it had a lot more charm than many other hotels in the area.

Unattended hotel

Room was clean, although sparsely furnished and only then with Ikea furniture. Street was quiet. Reservation only mentioned shared bathroom, but it's also a shared shower. But that's on hotels.com I suppose. The main reason why I'm not rating the hotel great is because the workers leave it unattended at night (from about 10pm-7:30am). For this much money I expect someone to be present. In fact, there was a very loud dripping and leaking in my room all night and there was no one on site to fix it.

A relaxing place in a distant, foreign country

I had an amazing time at this hotel. I was traveling to Switzerland for the first time as a lone, young female with almost no French abilities, for business. The hotel is so conveniently located and near most of the important tourist sites in Lausanne. Fanny (and I'm sure the other people too) at the front was extremely friendly, helpful, and had great English. I felt really at home here and would definitely stop here again. Here are some things I didn't see mentioned in other reviews.

- Despite it having a common bathroom, you do get towels, shampoo (though not very good), soap, and a sink in your room. You don't get a toothbrush / toothpaste
- They have electric converters available for a returnable 10 franc / euro / dollar deposit
- You do get the free Lausanne transit pass for the duration for your stay
- They have free chocolate at the window!!
- The office closes for lunch and at night, though you can use your card to get in whenever.

Other things: I thought people mentioned the train was far or an uphill climb... um what? It's a 3 minute flat walk to the Riponne station... Also, for female travelers, I felt this place (and the area) was very safe and clean as a lone female traveler. Lastly, my internet connection was incredibly easy to log into and fast... I noticed some people complaining about this, but maybe they've fixed it since.

So yes - come here!!
