Hôtel de la Paix Lausanne

“Late arrival but no trouble”

Stayed the just one night and arrived late owing to train delays but having notified the hotel of the problems were warmly greeted and fed - no trouble at all. Great views across the lake from our 6th floor room despite the rain!!! Recommend a taxi as the climb to the hotel with luggage very steep.

This is a lovely comfortable hotel. It has a large lobby and check in was quick.We were very pleased to have received an upgrade when we got there to a really lovely top floor room with the most amazing view of the city, mountains and the lake! The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was spotless. Breakfast was pleasant. The hotel is in a good area near the high-end shopping district and about 5 minutes walk from the cathedral. It was 10 minutes uphill from the station and about 15 minutes downhill to the lake. We didn't try the hotel restaurant as there were plenty of restaurants around. Overall good experience thank you.

“Great Bathroom”

We only stayed one night, part of a group . Nice room and bathroom, power shower probably better than ours! Dinner was excellent, wine very expensive. Breakfast room was very crowded, the coffee machine was very interesting.

“Great service and view.... But don't stay there if you're a light sleeper”

Staff are super friendly and the hotel is located and very clean. However, the walls are paper thin, you can hear every door close on the floor and starting 6:00 AM it is impossible to sleep.... Really a shame for such a nice hotel

“Great location, very noisy from traffic on street”

The location of this hotel is perfect, just steps away from the older part of the city, a block from a Coop, and about a 20 minute walk to the train station for taking day trips. The washroom and shower were spacious and clean. The view from our room (304) and balcony of the lake and city was be... more

The location of this hotel is perfect, just steps away from the older part of the city, a block from a Coop, and about a 20 minute walk to the train station for taking day trips. The washroom and shower were spacious and clean. The view from our room (304) and balcony of the lake and city was beautiful. However, the hotel sits only a few feet away from a busy road so the room was incredibly noisy all day with the sound of cars, trucks, and motorcycles, too noisy to leave the balcony door open for air at night so we slept in a warm room. On warm days the outdoor seating for the restaurant was two stories below us so we got to the add the noise of people dining outside to our evening noise. We had a junior suite which gave us more space. The décor in the room was a bit tired and would benefit from an update. The two ultrasuede chairs and loveseat were old and had black stains on them from age and use. The pillows were horrible and when we asked for firmer pillows we were told that’s all they had. Terribly thin pillows and a warm room made for terrible sleep. We’re pretty sure we had a top sheet when we arrived but it disappeared after a room clean. The room was so warm at night we didn’t need or want the bed quilt. We asked for another top sheet or any kind of sheet which appeared to confuse the front desk. When we got back to our room someone had left two huge banquet table cloths on our bed for top sheets! We didn’t want to pay the 50 CHF for breakfast each day ($75 for us) so we got breakfast snacks at the Coop instead. The staff were not overly friendly and one staffperson at the front desk had a dog that barked and barked behind her. Have stayed in much quieter and more comfortable hotels than this one.
