Best Hotels near Place des Fêtes (Épalinges), Epalinges

The hotel is a theme hotel. The hotel is easily reached by the metro, from Losanna station to OURS stop. As soon as you enter the hall there is a delicious chocolate parfum probably due to the ”chocolate fountain” from which you can taste. Smiling and very friendly staff. A spacious and well furnished room for me. If I have to find a sin ... The hotel provides a card for the means, so very comfortable as an option. With a walk of just 10 minutes walk you get to the center. Or two minutes away there is the metro stop and you will find the can reach any direction (lake- center).

Exactly what we needed. Comfortable room and bedding, very large shower tub. The Breakfast was nice, with attention to avoid disposable material, fresh yoghurts, two coffee machines. The free Lausanne pass allowing free public transportation (and other advantages) was appreciated.

We booked 2 rooms in this hotel for 8 nights because it's close to our Daughter's apartment. We arrived on 31st December, around 20:00. There were 5 people waiting in line and only 1 receptionist.. and God, he took his time... We had booked a ”family room”, for the space.. but, without any request they had turned the sofa into a bed.. thus wasting this space. When we went back to ask to turn it again into sofa, the receptionist became very unpleasant.. saying, it could be done ”the next day” Eventually, he agreed to get it done in the evening, while we were going to have dinner. The room is big, indeed, but so poorly fitted.. No refrigerator, 3 hangers (for a family room), Swiss only plugs.. It's rated ”3 stars” in Switzerland, probably worth only 1 star. The next morning, we went for the breakfast, for 15 CHF per person, we could expect some service. In fact, there was a single waitress for about 25 tables at 09:00 on 1st January.. It seems the management of this hotel has no idea about management of hospitality (and this is one of the closest hotel to EHL, the world renowned Hospitality School) allocate personnel according to demand and hire extras according to probable use of services. They just want to make money out of the visitors they do not care for ! So we move to another hotel after 2 nights.

The location is amazing - literally right above the metro station and arrive at the front door in less than 30 seconds. We’ve stayed here for 4 nights and the receptionist we have met are super nice - one of them even guided us to the kitchen to microwave our dinner. Two things we wanted to point out - 1) We had some formal clothes that required ironing, however, the ironing board in room is stored beneath the table and obviously gets super dirty and dusty. At the end we had to iron on the table with a towel on. 2) The housekeeping lady would come knock on our room every morning at 10 to check if we need cleaning or not. One day we told them yes we do need cleaning and would be leaving the room in 30mins. At 3:30pm when we got back to our room, no cleaning was done and yet the cleaning lady came and said either cleaning now or not. We found it quite confusing and disorganised.

This was a very surprising experience because ALL of the other hotels we have been were so clean and great in every way. Switzerland is a very clean country even the railway stations are clean not to mention the train carriages and all the other hotels we have seen, and on this trip we visited by now 7 other similar category ones all spotless. So if I wanted to be kind I would say it’s all run down and the owner has a terminal disease whereby he would not care for the property anymore.., but if I want to be realistic it was downright dirty and disgusting. The room was large with old style furniture probably furnished twenty years ago and never cleaned the upholstery. There were dark spots on the little sofa and chairs most likely from someone’s shoes. The wall paper was all faded and also dirty. There was a note on the night stand to say they only change the linen every three days due to being “greens” so when I checked a pillow and seen a huge dark stain poking out from under the sham we just did not use that.. next to the bed there was a sticky spot on the blue carpet and in a good case scenario it must have been hair gel..(?) whatever it was they just ignored it. The shutters on the windows were half way broken off their rails.. the wood of the furniture was so scuffed I could not tell if it was a dark or a light stain originally ( ?!!) It is a 4 star hotel?!)? OMG And in Switzerland where even the WC / toilet is sanitary and clean.. I have to make a distinction though, the junior stuff was extremely nice and helpful at the reception and a test it is the fault of the manager or owner or both, not the employees. They were very great. The manager ( who seemed like the boss ) was giving them all instructions when we got in the door and proceeded to tell us that our accommodations are ready and since it’s a mini suite it will be phenomenal. The location is amazing right across the station so it suited us. And other then the horrible grunginess and dirty conditions it would have been fine. The bathroom was fine but the room really made me write this bad review. It is a shame to have a hotel saying they have four star rating and not clean up their act ( in this case literally). Mitzi

A perfectly fine hotel with a hotel staff that spoke English well. We had a good stay and for the price it was amazing with the metro really close. The stay even included a public travel pass for going to and from the downtown city. The hotel is a bit special in that it actually is a patient hotel with people staying with newborns and people being in the hospital. So we were s bit in doubt of how that worked and if we even welcome. But we stayed there for 2 nights and had a great time the vibe is just a bit odd and we felt out of place. The breakfast included gluten-free options and was great. The hotel has a fine restaurant that was adequate and at a good price. The restaurant staff didn't speak much English so with a bit of help and Google translate it went fine and with a little knowledge of French it will go fine. Was a bit weird that even when they knew we mostly spoke English and German then those waiters didn't serve us but only the once that knew other languages. We had an amazing stay in Lausanne but felt a bit out of place.

The location is in the city center which is pretty good. The owner is very friendly and helpful. Everything is convenient. I highly recommend this hotel. And we can get free ticket for city transportation when we stayed at this hotel.

The location is very good, just above the lake, you can see Lake Geneva from the balcony There is a large free parking lot Room facilities are good, but the bed is a bit narrow The hotel has a restaurant with a nice view

My stay at the B+B Hotel Crissier was pleasant. The hotel offers good value for money. The rooms were spacious and clean. There was enough space and everything was well maintained. The beds were comfortable and ensured a restful night's sleep. The staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel offers simple but functional facilities. Nothing necessary was missing and everything was functional. This is very positive, especially at this price.
