I stayed at the Hotel au Lac for four nights while on a business trip. The staff were friendly, the room very clean, and the breakfast good. The location - 20 seconds from the Metro 2 line - is unbeatable. Would definitely recommend to other visitors to Lausanne.

We spent 2 nights here between Christmas and New Year and chose the family room with a double bed and a bunk bed. It was very clean, the staff friendly and the location next to the lake with views across to the Alps was perfect. I would recommend this hotel to any one looking for good value in Lausanne. The...

I only stayed for one night, so my review isn't comprehensive. My first impressions were that this place was in serious need of a make-over. It looked like it last had a facelift way back in the 80's. Check-in took a little longer that I would have expected as the sole member of staff prioritised answering phone calls above dealing...

We stayed for one night only but this Hotel, ideally positioned overlooking the Lake, needs a major overhaul. The room was small with minimum furniture and the radiator noisy throughout the night.The double bed had a single bed quilt-perhaps that would be ok if you were less than 4 foot tall but at nearly 6 foot my feet spent the...

We spent 2 nights here in Jan 2013. It was one of 9 hotels we used on this trip, and was the best in terms of a totally fuss-free experience. We had booked a Lake View Suite and were very happy with the room. Big bedroom and bathroom, big sitting room, lots of space for suitcases etc. Wifi worked flawlessly... More

We were pleasantly surprised by the view, the lovely and spotlessly clean rooms and the dinner at the Pirate restaurant. The hotel was so easy to access from the Metro ( which was across the road from the train station). We managed with a family of'4 and 7 suitcases. We jumped on the metro,which slid down the hill like a... More

The best aspects of the Hotel AuLac are the location and the view, if you have a lake side room. I had a comfortable stay in a cosy room. Being next to the lift wasn't ideal, as I was woken early both mornings. Breakfast was uninspiring, I ended up with fruit salad (from a tin?) and yoghurt both mornings. I... More

I stayed five days and my opinion is that it is a great hotel for your money. One should know that Lausanne is expensive city and should consider what one gets for her/his money. Hotel is reasonably priced and its location is marvelous. I had a room with view over the lake, harbour, and mountains panorama, with balcony. Usually extremely... More

I would have rated this hotel 3.5 stars, but for the restaurant attached Le Pirate. The service was non existent, and if anything the staff were very arrogant and ignorant when asked for assistance. French is obviously the main language in this city, however having staff working in the hospitality industry that cannot speak very good English is a recipe... More
