Swiss Wine by Fassbind

C’était notre deuxième séjour dans cet hôtel. La première fois nous avions été séduits par le confort, la belle chambre avec vue sur cathédrale. Cette fois, nous avons eu deux petites chambre s sans vue, sentant la fumée de cigarette (nous avons pu changer une des chambres). Les lits sont en revanche toujours confortables. Le personnel de réception est inégalement aimable (la réceptionniste pour notre Check in ne l’était vraiment pas). Elle nous a affirmé que nous avions réservé le petit déjeuner buffet et nous a fait payer la note avant même de nous donner les clefs de chambre alors que nous n’avions pas réservé de petit déjeuner (nous avions seulement interrogé sa collègue sur les horaires d’ouverture). Nous avons fini par accepté en expliquant que nous devrions impérativement déjeuner à 6h30 (heure d’ouverture du petit déjeuner). À 6h30, rien n’était ouvert, nous avons dû faire ouvrir la salle à 6h45. Le petit déjeuner n’était vraiment pas bon (produits industriels, œufs brouillés froids) et ne justifiait pas les 20 CHF demandés pour chaque personne. Le niveau de propreté des parties communes est dégradé par rapport à notre séjour précédent. Nous ne reviendrons pas.

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.

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.

Helt ok

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.

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!

Such a lovely place...

Propre, personnel sympathique

Location was really good, very close to the city centre and attractions.

Les chambres sont rénovées et très pratiques. Équipement des chambres très complet. La réception très aimable et répond aux besoins des clients. Séjour agréable.

Está muy bien ubicado con restaurantes cerca

Hotel nuovo, con camere spaziose, ben arredate e pulite. Detto questo segnalo con molto rammarico che, nonostante la mia camera fosse pronta, mi è stata negata la cortesia di poter fare check in con un'ora di anticipo sull'orario previsto, nonostante io avessi segnalato i miei successivi impegni lavorativi che mi impedivano di tornare per l'orario del check in. In compenso, mi sono stati chiesti 50 CHF per anticipare l'ingresso di mezz'ora!!!! Prima volta nella mia vita che mi trovo in una situazione simile e sicuramente anche l'ultima!

in Switzerland/Lausanne there are premium prices, but then one expects also premium conditions. Have stayed at Fassbind hotels before, but found the tidiness a little bit down. But my main disappointment was the broken bike (didn't spin properly and foot strap broken) in the gym. I select hotels with (good) gym and mainly look out for the bike to train. Was bit disappointed.

Included metro/bus/train ticket with our stay which made getting around very easy.

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.

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.

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.

no air condition

Il serait souhaitable que dans l’offre internet, vous précisiez que le parking est payant et est situé à 350 mètres. Et dommage que le personnel de réception ne parle pas du tout français !!!
