Hotels near Where＇s the Ginkgo, Ouest Lausannois District

Starling did most things that you would expect from a business hotel quite well. An added bonus for me travelling with family was that they allow pets, which is why I chose to stay here. On the negative side, I would expect given the prices charged that little ”extras” like a fridge and coffee machine in the room and a microwave oven available for public use would come as part of the package, but sadly no.

8 km from the center of Lausanne, suitable for self-driving, the room is small, but relatively clean, the breakfast is minimally selective, and the hotel is closed for 6 Swiss francs a day, the hotel front desk also inexplicably collected the city tax from us, going to Europe more than 10 The only hotel in the day that met the city tax

A great location with easy access to bus, and free 24 hour travel card provided with stay! Delicious and filling breakfast with vegan options widely available, amazing!

This is absolutely an unacceptable hotel that claims to have a 3-star rating. In the room even basic facilities like a kettle are not provided. Customers need to pay another CHF14 to get a mini bar fridge. The room does not provide hot water because no kettle is provided. We had to go to the communal area to get help for hot water. The toilet door has no lock and cannot be fully closed. Sound proofing is absolutely a joke - my family of four could not sleep well as we were terribly affected by the lodger upstairs talking, dragging chair along in late night and early morning. I went upstairs to ask why the lodgers caused so much noise without thinking of people living downstairs. We were not enjoying the stay in the IBIS room but counting how many days remaining to leave this place. I have to say my family will certainly avoid IBIS brand in our holiday/business trip from now on and spread this experience in my community.

The restaurant attached to this historic 80th-century residence (habited there for some time Igor Stravinski), transformed into B&B with some claim of exclusivity, is announced as an Italian restaurant, But despite good will and best intentions, it suffers from contamination with local cuisine and customs. Most (too) packaging dishes without particular touch of originality or creative flames. We are in a typical Italian restaurant (in the specific case, especially Napoletano) abroad. Good choice of wines, also Italians, quick and courteous service, vintage atmosphere and, very appreciable in the beautiful season, the terrace and garden, despite the noise of the surrounding traffic. Maybe to try again ...

The location is quite good! The scenery is never overdone by the beautiful scenery. The name of the hotel is Mont Blanc because you can see the highest peak in Europe in good weather! Switzerland is quite hot this summer, thanks to the air conditioning in the room, it is too important! How is the view outside the window, too healing, the room is small and complete! Breakfast is really great! The things are exquisite, the most important thing is the outdoor breakfast environment, which is simply great! The door is the sailing port, and occasionally there are Oiseau birds coming to say hello. Because I have lived for a long time, the waiter remembers that I have to cappucino for breakfast, very friendly hotel! Will come again next time.

Exactly what we needed. Comfortable room and bedding, very large shower tub. The Breakfast was nice, with attention to avoid disposable material, fresh yoghurts, two coffee machines. The free Lausanne pass allowing free public transportation (and other advantages) was appreciated.

Fantastic hotel with professional and very friendly staff. The breakfast was delicious. The Skylounge has an amazing view. The SPA area and the pool are beautiful and the pool is big enough for good swimming.

This was a very surprising experience because ALL of the other hotels we have been were so clean and great in every way. Switzerland is a very clean country even the railway stations are clean not to mention the train carriages and all the other hotels we have seen, and on this trip we visited by now 7 other similar category ones all spotless. So if I wanted to be kind I would say it’s all run down and the owner has a terminal disease whereby he would not care for the property anymore.., but if I want to be realistic it was downright dirty and disgusting. The room was large with old style furniture probably furnished twenty years ago and never cleaned the upholstery. There were dark spots on the little sofa and chairs most likely from someone’s shoes. The wall paper was all faded and also dirty. There was a note on the night stand to say they only change the linen every three days due to being “greens” so when I checked a pillow and seen a huge dark stain poking out from under the sham we just did not use that.. next to the bed there was a sticky spot on the blue carpet and in a good case scenario it must have been hair gel..(?) whatever it was they just ignored it. The shutters on the windows were half way broken off their rails.. the wood of the furniture was so scuffed I could not tell if it was a dark or a light stain originally ( ?!!) It is a 4 star hotel?!)? OMG And in Switzerland where even the WC / toilet is sanitary and clean.. I have to make a distinction though, the junior stuff was extremely nice and helpful at the reception and a test it is the fault of the manager or owner or both, not the employees. They were very great. The manager ( who seemed like the boss ) was giving them all instructions when we got in the door and proceeded to tell us that our accommodations are ready and since it’s a mini suite it will be phenomenal. The location is amazing right across the station so it suited us. And other then the horrible grunginess and dirty conditions it would have been fine. The bathroom was fine but the room really made me write this bad review. It is a shame to have a hotel saying they have four star rating and not clean up their act ( in this case literally). Mitzi

Second time at this hotel. Reception is extremely professional, friendly, and super helpful! Hotel itself is great location. Breakfast people, mainly one main middle age/younger guy is quite aggressive, and I recall him from last trip same. I did say something to reception and on last day he was very different… Dinner, we ate once, it is great food even though more expensive than most restaurants… very worth it! First time around, it was also great! BUT again, service… very hectic and aggressive, especially if you do not speak French. For this money it is not acceptable. Again, , just one person who I recall from last trip, is just how he is… but on that particular evening it was too much and its not like he was doing us a favour… we actually pay for our meal… and quite a lot! The girls working there on the other hand, are very professional and exactly how it should be! On our evening dinner, food was served very quickly with that we did not have issues. I would definitely stay again at this hotel but would think twice before having dinner there or even Breakfast… as in Lausanne there are SO MANY AMAZING restaurants and EVERY TIME ALL PEOPLE in the other restaurants are so friendly!!! P.S. I give average service, only because of the restaurant 2 particular staff. NOT because of reception who ware amazing!
