The hotel is well-located in the city centre close to the older part of the town, with excellent views over Lake Geneva and Lausanne itself. The room was comfortable, with a large bed, and a good sized balcony giving us a very pleasant view of the lake. The bathroom was well-appointed. The public areas of the hotel are all attractive and well-maintained. Breakfast is served in a spacious dining room looking out towards the lake, and the range of items available is excellent. There is a comfortable bar adjacent to the dining room which offers a comfortable place to relax after a busy day

The pillows on the bed could have been better; in a hotel of this standard one expects something better than foam pillows.

I was elated to experience such good service, after disappointing stays in Geneva. Staff was very professional, answering all my questions and requests with a gracious attitude. The room was large, very clean and the linens were crisp, like new. I had a top floor room, overlooking the yard, so no noise from anywhere. I had a fridge and a water kettle, all in excellent condition, which is not always the case. The area is great for shopping and getting groceries at the Coop, such as cheese, fruits, even roast chicken. The Cathedral is nearby, and the excellent Metro takes you all the way to Ouchy, for many activities, including a boat trip in Lake Léman.

There was nothing I didn’t like.

Lovely hotel with a long and loaded history. It is one of those hotels that actually aged pretty well despite being over a century old. The balconies still look out over the lake despite all the buildings that have risen in front of the Hotel over the years. It is also on the edge of the old city, making it the perfect midway point between the Cathedral and the Station. Mind you that you need to climb some steep steps to get there, so taking public transport is recommended if you have luggage with you. Breakfast is small-scale but really good.

When I was there they were severely understaffed, and although check-in went smoothly I had to wait quite a long time (>10minutes) to get some amenities at the reception (they don't have them in your room, you need to collect them yourself).

I stay there regularly as I am in Lausanne every few weeks for work. Of all the hotels I have stayed at, and there are many in Lausanne, it probably is the best value if you are getting it for under 200CHF. Great location for restaurants (especially the Indian and Chinese around the corner). Basic but large comfortable rooms. Good bar and restaurant. Great staff. Valet parking right next to the hotel works well.

Breakfast is mediocre and is a frustrating experience. Needs a better selection of food. Often things run out and it can be crowded, mostly with old people who have no idea how to use the coffee machine. Breakfast is the one weakness of this hotel....but given it is usually free with Booking.com, I cant complain too much.

Comfortable spacious rooms (a little dated in style), good bar & restaurant. Probably best location for restaurants of any hotel in Lausanne.

Same old issue...breakfast choice is very limited. Breakfast starts at 6.30 but the warm food doesn't show up until sometime after 7.00 which is really annoying if you eat early. If you only get a coffee and a croissant for 25CHF, that makes that aspect of the stay very disappointing and not good value. Parking on a Sunday is challenging as the underground garage is closed.

Breakfast was very good. Fresh fruit was yummy. Staff was very attentive & helpful. The room & bathroom were both extremely spacious & clean. Hot water with good pressure. Good beds. The only thing that we just couldn't get over was the lack of temperature control for coolness!

We could not control the air conditioning & it was too warm & very uncomfortably stuffy, even with the windows wide open. Extremely disappointing! Didn't have a good night's sleep at all!

Very quiet good for sleeping and very supportive bed with soft linens. No noise from the outside at all. The room was spacious by Swiss standards with comfortable chairs. Very large new beautiful bathroom. Excellent lighting, bright when you want and a small light next to the night stand when you don’t want to wake your partner. Easy check in and allowed us late checkout. Also close to transportation and wonderful restaurants.

Only minor thing minimal on toiletries and just 2 coffee sticks offered no cream. For everything else very positive not important but if you need such things just ask at the desk. We will definitely stay again.

I recently enjoyed a very good stay at this hotel for a weekend in the city. Its prime location made it easy to reach everything either on foot or via public transport. The stunning view of the lake from the room was a highlight, and the staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. I recommend this hotel for anyone spending a few days in the city!

The breakfast could be slightly improved, but it still provided a good start to each day.

Good location, the room was spacious, clean with large bathroom, powerful shower, tv and aircondition. Comfortable mattresses. The hotel accepts dogs; just for info, the cost of the dog per night is Swiss Fracs 23 and the parking per night Ch.F 30.- on arrival an estimated advance payment for the duration of your stay will be kept.

The shower room has mould and needs re-grouting. The breakfast is very basic, the bread was not fresh and the scrambled eggs jellied.

The family room was two rooms with connecting door. There was enough space. The bath towels were fluffy and thick. Hotel de la Paix has one of the best locations in Lausanne, close to downtown, but still has its quiet side.

The family room was actually different from the photos that posted on the booking.com. The one posted is the suite with Lakeview, which we stayed for the very first time in 2018, therefore I recognise those photos and thought I could get the same room when booking the family room. As 5 start hotel, I would like to see front desk staff with a more professional appearance and attitude.
