4/5
Great location opposite the train station. The reception staff were all very friendly and helpful. The hotel itself is clean and rooms spacious however quite dated and is showing signs of wear and tear. The decor is a little stepping back in time. I had a room with an amazing view of the lake and mountains. Would definitely stay again

I just had the pleasure of staying at Hotel Continental in Lausanne for a work trip. From the moment I walked in, the receptionist's warm and friendly demeanor made me feel truly welcomed. The rooms were not only spotlessly clean but surprisingly serene despite the hotel's proximity to the train station. I was pleasantly surprised by the peaceful atmosphere that enveloped the space, allowing for a restful night's sleep. I recommend Hotel Continental for anyone visiting Lausanne and looking for a comfortable and welcoming stay at a good price.
