Best Western Plus Hotel Mirabeau

With many day trips planned around Lake Geneva, this was a central hotel within 4 blocks of the train station. I would describe it as a nice, clean, well-maintained boutique hotel within the urban part of Lausanne. It lacked scenic views of Lake Geneva, and was away from many restaurants and shops found in either the Old Town (north and up) or the Lake Area (south and down). We were adjacent to two office buildings so the atmosphere was less French-resort and more business. However, it was exceptionally convenient to the train station. We had two rooms. Each was modest sized, with a comfortable bed, clean and nicely tiled bathroom, good temperature control, and good quietness (from internal and exterior noises). The tube/shower design is typical for Europe and makes for some tight maneuvering - and water control to keep from splashing the outside. The hotel staff was friendly and spoke fluent English. Our room also came with free breakfast, which was a very good buffet style meal with many options. For our purpose, this was a great hotel. We were able to get up, have breakfast and catch an early train for regional destinations. less

The room is of good size for 5 of us. Bed was comfy and serve good breakfast. Location is within walking distance. Luckily there was a lift to link up train station level to hotel , which located at 50 steps down. less

Since it my first trip to Lausanne I feel it pretty good. The hotel is nice and catches the eye with a classical look in the lobby. The receptionist was every polite and kind. I am amazed that I get a free public transportation card for my whole stay - it’s a nice gesture. Room and bathroom are neat and clean. You get a little classical and old style feeling in a good way, tough. Worth visiting! less

Hotel Mirabeau from lausanne is not a classical Best Western Plus hotel but is a really top class, excellent hotel offering its guests, even to most demanding ones, highest satisfaction for having taken the decision to stay there . less

It is not a great sign when the best thing you have to say is “Well, at least it was clean”. This is a period hotel that could do with some renovations to modernize (and soundproof) its facilities without losing its vintage charm. This hotel is very reasonably priced and close to our offices in Switzerland so I suspect I will be staying there again, but not because I want to. Too bad because it could be such a lovely “bijou” in the heart of Lausanne instead of a reminder of a happier time long past. less
