Reviews of Youth Hostel Lausanne

13 March 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: It had a bar.

Disliked: There was not much personality to the place and, being a Hi hostel, mostly contained school children and families. Also the price on hostelbookers was not the price I was charged, as I was not a member of HostellingInternational. This is mentioned on hostelbookers, but is not immediately apparent when booking.

11 February 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: One of the best hostels I've stayed in. But not the best one. Rooms are nice and clean with enough space for everyone. Breakfast is included, but it's not completely free (e.g. you can have orange juice for free, but you'll have to pay for coffee). The location is good. although far from the center, but it's really easy and fast to get there, besides it's near the lake and the view is really great.

Disliked: I had to pay almost 20 euro more (for 3 nights) because I didn't have some card... So the price is actually higher than they say. And the bathroom was quite far from the room.

23 August 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Hostel was clean, staff was friendly, facilities good, and free breakfast. No lockers in the rooms but I felt pretty secure. Nonetheless it would have been nice to have them. The location is not great. It takes about 30 minutes to get to the hostel from the train station or the center of town, and the same to get back, and the directions they give are wrong for getting there - don't ride the metro all the way down to the beach, get off at the stop before and take that bus, the 26 I think.

Disliked: Customer left no negative feedback.

15 August 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The transportation pass was great and gave you access to all the public transportation while staying there, but be careful to read closely because if you do not have a YHA card you are charged extra upon arrival. The rooms were ok, but no ensuites in the dorms. Breakfast was pretty good, but the amosphere was lacking. Very expensive internet too.
