Pleasant short walk from Bois de Vaux bus stop. Smooth path, no stairs, easy access even with a luggage. Room was spacious and clean. Toilets were also nice and clean. Towels are chargeable so remember to bring your own if you don't want to rent one. 24h front desk was a nice to have; knowing that help is there whenever you need it. super friendly staff :) would 10/10 come back here to stay.

Very expensive for low quality offered
Hostel is very expensive for what if offers. No towels and soap. Internet is fast.Parking is outside in front of hotel with barrier. Room is dark and ugly and bad smell. Beds were very unconfortable. Breakfast is poor with just some salami, yoghurt and some jams. No supermakets nearby.

Good value, quiet location
Stayed here for three nights at new year. Facilities were very good, and the building was very modern and spacious. The room was small and basic, but very warm and with a comfortable bed. Location was a little out of the way, altough there was a bus stop two minutes away, and a metro stop a ten minute (uphill) walk away, along with some bars, cafes, takeaways and shops. The buffet breakfast was very basic continental fare. The only issue I had with my stay was that check-in seemed to take a very long time. This was especially surprising as I received an email prior to my stay asking for me to provide my details, in order to speed up the check-in process on arrival. Overall though, I was happy with my stay. Although the location may be further from town than some people would like, the facilities were very good for the price

Decent food and cheaper than restaurant options in town. Friendly staff. Rooms in good condition. Lights are quite dim, which I guess helps when other people are sleeping. Closets in rooms are missing locks or rings to use a padlock.

Would recommend !
I had a single room with shared bathroom. The bed was comfortable and clean. I was facing the inner building where people gathered in the evenings so it could get loud, but tolerable. The hostel is a far from the train station, and a 6 minute walk to the nearest bus or 10 minutes to the nearest metro station. breakfast was what you could expect from a hostel, nothing exceptional, but it did the job. Didn’t have any wifi connection issues.

The staff was quite helpful during my stay. However, facing the heat wave in Europe, there was no air conditioning or fan in the hostel. My room at the top level was very hot and I couldn't sleep well during my stay. I think this is the problem not just in the hostel, but in most of buildings in Europe.

Reasonable hostel. Can't expect much as this is just a hostel only. Room and bathroom are small. Nice lobby and restaurant. Only provide a microwave and kettle at a small corner. If there is a communal kitchen, will be great.

Not your average Hostel
The location was great, and you get a lot for the price. Service was super friendly and helpful. No AC in the rooms so it was a little warm. Loved how close they are to the lake and running trails.

Die Jugendherberge Lausanne ist sauber und angenehm. Allerdings darf man bei diesem günstigen Übernachtungspreis keine zu hohen Ansprüche haben.
