Good quiet room (even though on a busy road). Characterful building. Comfortable bed. View of the lake in the distance. Good breakfast. All together a very good place for a short stay in Lausanne.

Hotel Victoria
The room was very large and beautifully appointed and absolutely spotless. The bathroom was lovely- with a separate water closet and nice tub and shower. The service was excellent and we especially loved Bushra!
