Great hotel
Tewfik, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Had a great view from the window of the city, and the hotels architecture and interior were very unique and beautiful. Staff were great and the breakfast was actually very high quality compared to many other hotels and delicious. Close to a lot of shopping and nightlife, overall a great stay, and spacious room.

10/10 Exceptional

I recently returned to the Swiss Wine Hotel during my 2025 trip to Switzerland, eager to reconnect with friends and explore the charming city of Lausanne and its surroundings. Once again, the hotel proved to be the perfect base for my adventures. Its unbeatable location right outside Bessières Metro station made getting around a breeze, while a Coop supermarket just across the street offered convenience for any essentials. Within walking distance, I enjoyed visiting the historic Place de la Riponne and the breathtaking cathedral, all easily accessible via a scenic stroll across the Charles Bessières Bridge. My room (605) was impeccably clean and furnished with a plush, comfortable bed that ensured a restful night’s sleep. The only minor drawback was the warmth, as the room was situated in the attic, which made it quite cozy. However, the air conditioning swiftly alleviated the heat, albeit quite noisy when in operation. Despite that small inconvenience, I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. I highly recommend the Swiss Wine Hotel to anyone seeking a cozy, well-located spot in Lausanne. It’s a true gem for both leisure and exploration!

Good hotel at top of hill; recommend to take the subway to hotel.

I liked the position of the hotel and I like that they have a deal with a nearby parkinglot. The rooms were too hot, even with the ceiling fan, it was impossible to be there in daytime, we went in August.

Great location with easy access to Metro right outside of hotel. Nice view of cathedral located near city centre. Very modern room in a nice, old building.

Nice hotel with spacious rooms and in a convenient location. A couple of items in the room broken/under repair and more toiletries in the bathroom would have been nice. Friendly and helpful staff.

Amazing wine themed hotel

Absolutely loved this wine themed hotel. Stayed one night before catching a morning train to Paris. The wine decor was fantastic, it was clean,right across the street from the Metro that was only three quick stops from Lausanne Gare which is perfect if taking the TGV. Also the staff was really friendly and helpful. Would 100% recommend staying in this modern hotel.
DARREN, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The location is perfect for the Metro just 3 stops from the main railway station. Close to the cathedral and fantastic eating places. The reception staff are super friendly, helpful and take interest in you and your reason for visiting - offering help and suggestions where needed. Our room had a lovely view over towards the cathedral. Very quiet hotel which the housekeeping staff keep super clean and tidy. We will return and highly recommend it as a location to stay.

A little disappointed

Silverfish in the bathroom, mould in the mini fridge, and no air conditioning. Honestly, I expected better. On the plus side, sheets and towels were clean, staff were kind, toiletries were replenished every day, and there was an extra fan in the room.

8/10 Very good

Great local, very comfortable and clean room. The only drawback for the lack of air conditioning. There was a ceiling fan and a table fan but they did not really make the room temperature comfortable for sleeping. The windows open but it was noisy at night because of European football finals taking place and locals celebrating the matches in the streets.

Good location, but shame about A/C

Great location. There were two saunas on offer. The first was down by the fitness area- would recommend. The second is actually your room, with the lack of air-con giving you 24/7 opportunity to open those pores. There is a fan that acts as substitute to the A/C. It is as useful as those powder milk substitutes that you get in some hotels… oh wait.

Jennifer, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The staff were very friendly and the hotel was in a great location. Easy access to the train and close to many restaurants and cafes. The view from the room was great too (the Lausanne Cathedreal). However, our room was dirty (coffee stains on the walls, cobwebs on the floors, etc.). The conditions were also not great (the toilet paper holder was falling off the wall, the shower always made the floor wet, it was hard to open the bathroom door, dents in the wall, etc.). The wifi was also spotty and slow. Larger fans were needed in the room, since there was no air conditioning. It was extremely hot during our stay.

I had great stay at the Swiss Wine Hotel during a recent trip to Switzerland, where I reconnected with friends and explored the charming city and beyond. The hotel's location is perfect for exploring Lausanne, with Bessières Metro station right outside the door and a convenient Coop supermarket just across the street. The historic Place de la Riponne and the stunning cathedral are also within walking distance of the hotel; just a short stroll across the picturesque Charles Bessières Bridge. My room was immaculately clean and boasted a supremely comfortable bed, ensuring a restful night's sleep. The only minor drawback was the room's warmth, as it didn't have air conditioning. However, I was able to manage by opening the windows during the day to let in the fresh air and closing them at night to enjoy a peaceful sleep (as my room faced onto the main street). Despite this minor issue, I would definitely consider staying here again on a future visit. In fact, I would recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and conveniently located hotel in Lausanne. Just be prepared for a warm stay during the summer months!

Great Hotel Stay- Parking Experience Terrible

The hotel was familiar to me as I had stayed there several years ago when it was the City Hotel. It is much nicer than it was then and recently upgraded. It is well-located for ease of access to the heart of Lausanne. There is an elevator for luggage. The bed and covers were exceptionally comfortable. The bathroom was new and excellent, and the hot shower was terrific. There was coffee service and a refrigerator. The TV had good programming for USA travelers. We did not partake in the breakfast service, but the breakfast room looked attractive. Our only major disappointment was the parking situation. We were NOT guided well to the Mon Repos Parking garage. We were given a ticket to put into the parking machine upon exiting, allowing us to pay 50% off. Unfortunately, it was not emphasized that the closer garage was NOT the garage to park in. We found that out upon exiting when we paid an exorbitant parking bill! There are several garages around the area, and the garage with the discount required driving around the block. It should have been emphasized to travelers that there are several garages around and to NOT go to so and so, but to Mon Repos around the block. The sticker shock of the higher-priced garage and no discount really killed the otherwise lovely stay. We are still quite upset by it; the garage bill for two days of parking costs more than a night in the hotel! Sadly, that really tainted an otherwise pleasant stay!
