Base Lausanne

We (me, my husband, and our 21 year old daughter) stayed at Base Lausanne for 3 nights in early July, left a lot of our luggage at the Base for a week for a one-week hike in the Swiss Alps, and returned to the Base for 2-nights. Base Lausanne is by far our favorite city-stay apartment. I'm so glad that our original airbnb reservation was canceled by the host so we found Base Lausanne instead. We had a one-bedroom with a sleeper sofa in the living room. While the Base does not provide some of the amenities a regular hotel might have (eg no a/c, so it can get a bit warm on hot days for Americans accustomed to a/c in the summer), it suited our purposes beautifully. It has a wonderfully efficient kitchen (modern and top of the line appliances). There are also excellent washer and dryer in the lower floor along with free detergent. This was super convenient as we could wash our dirty clothes after our hiking trip before our long journey home. I like most the abundance of cabinet and closet storage spaces in the apartment to put away our belongings, so the room looked orderly throughout the day. The staff, Cedric in particular, are so welcoming, helpful and thoughtful. We left our luggage in the room before we left, and our luggage was waiting for us in the room a week later upon our return. The location is super convenient. We love the food shops in the immediate neighborhood: Bread Store (award winning boulangerie/patisserie 5 minute walk away), Loom (gelateria next door to the hotel), Coop (relatively large supermarket, 4 minute walk), Planet Bowl (healthy and good value poke bowl, directly opposite). Thank you the Base Lausanne team for making us feel so welcome and comfortable. We can't wait to go back to Base Lausanne again!

This is still a worksite, builders in the building at any time of the day. Painting in your room & outside at 8:30 in the morning. Not professional at all, on the site it was written that the refurbishment will finish by the end of July, instead are still open.

Everything was perfect. The place was very cosy and the location was ver close to the train station The receptionist Ergis helped us to get comfortable, made us feel at home and was always ready to recommend places to eat/drink near the hotel.

Excellent studio in Lausanne . So well situated , minutes from the station , the centre of the old town and about a 10 min walk to the lake. Cedric welcomed us and could now have been more helpful . Friendly and professional The studio was immaculate , well appointed , comfortable and even with a lake view! Definitely would stay again -- Cedric clearly takes great care of his guests . Personal service

The staff was very helpful and did everything to make us feel like home. The hotel was clean and tidy,we loved our room and definitely we will be back again. Location is fantastic just 3 min from the train station. Recommend it to everyone who wants to have a unforgettable staying in Lausanne.👌
