SwissTech Hotel Reviews

Tres bonnes hotel

I checked in late as I was working until 1 am. The self checking system works but is not straight forward. I was feeling unsafe as someone was smoking in the lobby and followed me to my room. In the morning, I arrived for breakfast at 10.02 am and even if everything was still available, The lady had already cleaned and told me I could only have a coffee capsule as breakfast is until 10 am (a bit pricy for 16 CHF). This is unfortunately not my first bad experience in this hotel. It's very well located if you have to work late at EPFL but don't expect more.

My 2nd time staying here. It's bare bones--more like a dorm room than a hotel room. CONS: 1) Connectivity is poor. I can only connect my laptop through the hotspot on my phone, which isn't ideal as I'm here on business. 2) The store isn't open on Sundays. While this is typical for stores in Switzerland, the hotel is located next to a conference center. Where are conference attendees supposed to get food/drinks/etc? 3) Lack of outlets for charging. PROS: The location is convenient to the Swiss Tech Conference Center.

There were student parties and construction work going on. Also the light in my room did not work. Worse: I was denied breakfast for which I did pay

The staff at the reception were kind and very helpful. The room itself was large and for the most part very quiet. Two things however could be improved. I could only successfully connect one of my devices to the wifi, which was interesting since the property is called SwissTech hotel. The other thing is that the hotel should come up with a solution for the slightly smelly drain in the bathroom. I had to keep the bathroom door closed not to smell it in the room. There is a grocery store (Migros and Denner) very close to the hotel. There is a burger joint and a bar as well. And a nice gym. The metro literally stops in front of the building.

It has a good location, very near to the EPFL and a train station, below the building there is a big migros

The hotel is in the middle of the EFPL campus with a small adjacent commercial area and a tram stop right outside. Coming from Geneva, best to switch to a train that goes to Renens gare, where the tram starts.

I was attending an event at epfl so the location was perfect for me. The metro was a bit loud and it's right next to the hotel and the lively campus life also made it a bit noisy. But it also meant enjoying the campus atmosphere and restaurants and shops right there. The breakfast options weren't too many but all the available ones were delicious. The single room was spacious and clean.

This hotel is located very close to the main university campus in Lausanne. It is very well connected by metro to the city center and the train station with which to connect to Geneva airport. It has a very good quality hamburger restaurant just next to it that is open until late, a very useful resource. It also has great security since after a certain hour you can only access the hotel floor and the building with a code or the room card, which offers peace of mind to the guests. Overall it has been a very pleasant experience for a short stay. As an important note, I would recommend bringing a plug adapter as they are different in Switzerland. You can also ask for one at reception if you have forgotten, but I recommend bringing your own.

The hotel is close to EPFL campus and directly at the EPFL metro station, grocery shopping around the corner. The room was tidy and clean and I slept well. Breakfast buffet was small, but sufficient. Public transport is included in the city tax (QR code by e-mail from Lausanne tourisme)

It was great to be here. Excellent service personnel. This is a well situated facility making comuting to town very easy. Great room service. Things are well placed and packaged that it is easy to find your way around

Nice clean and simple rooms in a perfect location for a trip to Swiss Tech Convention Center or EPFL/UNIL.Located right next to the metro station, it is only 15-20 minutes from Lausanne main station. Breakfast was also simple but very good. Very friendly personal.

The location is ideal for a visit to EPFL: directly at the tram stop and less than five minutes walk to campus. The room is extremely clean, the bed comfortable with nice reading lights, the network is fast (eduroam), and the staff is super-friendly and helpful. The breakfast is nothing special but does the trick. Overall nice design of the hotel, and good value. So, why not five stars? If you like to sleep with your window open, do not get a room facing the convention center! The rooms are directly above the only pub and burger joint on campus that is open at night, and even in February/March, students are sitting outside past 11:00pm - it is loud! Also, the tram was apparently designed before the invention of the wheel, as it very noisily appears to scrape rather than roll around the curve leading up to the station. Not the hotel's fault ... and, yes, the windows are noise dampening when closed.

Very nice clean hotel and great staff! They had some gluten free options for breakfast, which was a nice surprise. Over all we would recommend the hotel for anyone who wants to stay close to EPFL/UniL.
