Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff is very welcoming. I had a room which was spacious and calm. The transportation is next to the hotel and I was given a transport card letting me use all public transportation within the limits of Lausanne and surrounding villages. The hotel is across the street from the train station. At night the train station does not feel very safe. Lot of homeless and panhandlers. But this is not a problem if you ignore them.

Great location, walkable from the train. Very nice check in staff. We had to take a twin room and the beds were not great, they are lower at the head of the bed than at the foot. They don’t have any extra pillows in the whole hotel. It was great to have a nice size shower and a portable fan for the bedroom area.

Little gem of a hotel with excellent location
Perfect convenient location opposite train station and lovely staff member who checked us in- he found a room for us even though we arrived very early morning and expected we would have to just leave our luggage until check in time. Room was clean, quiet & restful and beds comfortable Air conditioning struggled and wasn’t really adequate for the room but it was a very hot couple of days. Would definitely recommend and would stay again.

Stayed for a work conference. Super location opposite train station near to cafes and food shops. A short walk down hill to lake with many bars and restaurants. Reception gave warm welcome with a 2 day free travel pass for the local metro system.

8/3-6,2024. Pro: location, cleanness, space, A/C, Friendly. Con: N/A. Great location, right across from the main train station, many restaurants nearby. The orange sign on the building was easy to find the hotel. Room and bathroom were clean and larger than average in Europe. A/C was a nice addition. USB outlets were great (but always carry a voltage converter/adapter when traveling to Europe for convenience since many hotels don’t have USB outlets). Staff were helpful and friendly. We truly enjoyed our stay at Hotel Continental.
