Lovely spot, with view over the Lake. Large clean rooms, modern design, but very Spartan. We arrived late and in room snacks were non-existent. Restaurant closed at 10pm. Too few electric outlets, and it would have helped to have a night light by the bathroom, which was internal and difficult to navigate in the dark.

Good for business travelers

Needed a point on Lake Geneva fairly central- easy to get to Geneva, Annecy, Mont Blanc, Montreaux and Lausanne. Easy access to autobahn- within 5 minute drive. No road noise. Heavy residential area. 2 good restaurants down by the lake. Ask for a room on the Lake view side. A/C in room - yes- not very cold. Hanging rod and open shelf is it for the closet- no drawers. Would recommend for business travelers. Good staff and hotel restaurant provides a nice breakfast and varied dinner menu weeknights.

A nice university hotel for visitors to Lausanne, but a bit sterile and the suites lack a dividing wall. Rooms are very upscale, but the dinner menu is rather limited (yet everything I tried was fantastic). Hard spot to reach, and you need some sort of vehicle toget from here to anywhere else.

The breakfast options and quality were very poor for a 4 star hotel. Otherwise it was ok. The room had a nice view of the lake.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
A nice hotel option, upscale, architecturally a bit severe but with a very nice view of the mountains (not so much the lake). Overall, the neighborhood is very safe but unattractive: EPFL is not a campus notable for its grade, and the hotel has some sort of muddy field behind it (but with a path you can follow to walk on the side of the lake, which I recommend). Restaurant is good but has a limited choice; bar is fine but mostly has fairly cheap liqueur at relatively steep pricing. But the staff is incredibly warm and helpful, and we valued that. If you plan to use the sofa or sleep on it, ask for a room with a sofa that isn’t ancient and lumpy. Only some rooms even have a sofa, but among those that do, many should have been replaced around 1975!
