Best Western Plus Hotel Mirabeau

Nice 1920s decorated hotel which looks classy rather than tired. 10mins from the main train station so ideal for Lausanne. As Lausanne is on two levels Lake Geneva below and the old town on a higher level this is in the middle so best of both worlds. Staff were all very friendly and breakfast was well stocked with hot and cold offerings. If you wanted more cooked breakfast than was offered there was a separate menu you could order from and pay more. Didn’t use the restaurant for an evening meal so can’t comment on them. Room was adequate size as you only sleep there but well stocked with items such as coffee (instant not machine), safe, good TV and plenty of clothes storage etc. Bathroom is fine but I don’t like showers in a bath which are on the side wall rather than the end wall. It can be very claustrophobic and you are literally stuck to the shower curtain during your shower. Shower height was also too low and I’m not tall. Check in/out was pleasant and staff were very helpful throughout our stay. less

The staff is bending over backwards to help the customers. The room was quiet, spacious, bright with a big bathroom and lots of storage. The design was lovely and all Covid measures were respected. The location and free public transport were very helpful. less

I was in Lausanne for 5 nights for work and enjoyed my stay at the Mirabeau. Advantages: - Location - The facilities are classy and well maintained and about an 8-minute walk from the train station. - Friendly, professional service - I was offered a room with one large bed, and if I preferred a bathtub or shower. - Delicious breakfast - scrambled eggs, sausages, bacon, fresh eggs to boil to one's preference, smoked salmon, assortment of breads (loved the brioche), assortment of pastries, homemade jams, cereal, selection of yogurts and fruit. Coffee is served at the table in individual pitchers (not those horrible machines you have to stand in line for), and the tablecloths and cloth napkins make for an elegant touch. - Restaurant - serves lunch and dinner for some authentic Swiss cuisine and other options. - The room was comfortable, could regulate the radiator heating, minibar fridge, large flat-screen tv and a view of the lake and mountains. Things to consider: - There are a couple stairs to go in the main entrance. Those with mobility issues or large suitcases may need to look for an alternative entrance. - The bed is a bit low to the ground, and the mattress not as comfortable as other hotel chains (Marriott or Ibis). I stayed at the Elite Hotel last year, and liked the BW Plus Mirabeau more. less

I traveled through Switzerland in mid-October and stayed in Lausanne for three nights. This hotel is wonderful. It is so comfortable and I loved the decor. Breakfast was included and was delicious. Dinner in their restaurant is excellent. It is close to transportation so you can see the city but we spent some time relaxing on the balcony and in the room. I highly recommend this hotel. This is not like an American hotel but high-end like a fine Swiss and/or French hotel. less

My family stayed in a Family Room for 3 nights at this hotel and loved it! The extra room for the kids was great. The hotel offers limited parking spaces in a private garage, with controlled entry, across the street. We were able to leave our vehicle there and use the complimentary travel passes for the metro and train. Even if you travel on the train outside the area, the passes will still give you a discounted rate. Every staff member we encountered was very friendly and helpful, who truly cared about our stay. The price were a little high, but well worth it at this hotel. less
