Hôtel de la Paix Lausanne

The hotel has a good location, and some rooms have a lake view. The reception staff were friendly. Be aware of the mandatory CHF 100 deposit. Amenities: Some rooms are a bit more modern, but others, like this one, are somewhat dated with carpeting and a squeaky bed (though still comfortable). The rooms are rather small: okay for a short stay with a small suitcase. Housekeeping could be improved. Neither my cup nor glass was replaced the next day. They tried to charge me for the minibar, which I hadn't used. I had a room with breakfast included, which I didn't use. In the large restaurant, two-thirds of the tables were almost empty. In the morning, an additional row of tables was placed between the remaining third, and it seemed all the "regular" guests were seated there. I wanted to sit in the other section, where two tables were occupied, but I was told I had to sit in the other section. Since I wanted to at least have a quiet coffee in the morning (without being jostled from both sides), I decided against it and went straight to work. The next morning, I opted to pay for an extra breakfast at a café instead. The only positive aspects: the balcony with a lake view and the air conditioning in the room.

This hotel gave its guests a newly renovated room that had a very strong smell. The problem was finally solved after an unremitting struggle. Fortunately, Ctrip argued for us. The WiFi was very poor and it was almost impossible to browse the web. Other basic things like the environment are still first-class, after all, it is in Switzerland.

The location is OK, but it is too small, too old and has a very poor value for money.

Everything was good, but breakfast was really bad~
