Top La Cité Hotel Reviews

Hotel Eden Palace Au Lac

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location on the lake and close to restaurants, shops and train/bus. Staff were attentive, room was spacious and the views were lovely."

J5 Hotels Helvetie Montreux

8/10 Good

"Lobby and main entry quite grand and beautiful. There was no A/C. Floor fan was available in our room, which was helpful, but with outdoor temperatures running around 28-30 F it was warm in our room. Can't really open windows at night because then one hears traffic noise etc. Would have been nice to have a mini coffee machine in the room. Mini fridge was a nice asset. Bed was comfortable. Only one pillow per person - front desk gave us a second on request. Great location!"

Novotel Lausanne Bussigny

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel sits just outside of town with plenty of space and a relaxed vibe. Great fitness center and outdoor pool. If you are taking public transportation, ignore the directions from Google Maps. There is a bus (Number 17) that runs from the Renens train station (Renens Vd, 14 Avril) and stops near the hotel (Bussigny, Cocagne). Both the bus and train are free with a Lausanne Travel Card, given out to anyone staying in a hotel in the area! Plenty of shopping and dining options along the bus 17 route."
