  Fabulous and a good price.

  10 May 2026

  Location is great. Close to the Cathedral, close to the lake, public transport, even shops or bars and restaurants: doesn't get much better. Atmosphere is personal: I love the old beautiful building and loved the breakfast room/conservatory full of light with the stunning views. Our room was fabulous. Bath with bath tub, comfy bed, kettle for tea or coffee and a fridge etc. We did not need WIFI, Fridge or TV or the good sized hotel safe but it was all there. Cleanliness was excellent. I prefer not-carpet on the floors but carpets seem to still be the way to go in most hotels... But all was good. Breakfast: Coffee machine is GREAT. Loved it. I am a coffee person and did not eat the warm buffet stuff (eggs, sausages and bacon) nor the cheese. Had a croissant and a very nice Emmi-Yoghurt and fruit. If you want to stock up on calories for a busy day of exploring: easily achieved with this breakfast buffet. If you need coffee and lots- yep. Staff was friendly and helpful, but we did not really need a lot of help, all is self explanatory. Parking in Mon Repos Parking worked well with 50% reduction by voucher. The best feature is the conservatory to sit in with view of the Cathedral. The best comfort feature is the bath tub with the comfy bed a close second.

  A nice hotel with one major drawback..........

  09 Jun 2025

  Firstly the Swiss Wein by Fassbind is a very nice hotel - it is very well located, right by the exit to the lift from Bessieres Metro station - three stops from the main railway station.We found the room to be comfortable, and the bed to be large and comfortable too. The shower was powerful and easy to operate with no variations in water temperature.Reception staff were friendly and helpful, with very good English.Breakfast was 20 CHF per person extra and was acceptable if not outstanding.Almost five stars so far then, however.....There was no air conditioning in the room, just a quiet and pretty efficient ceiling fan - but in June the nights can be hot, so it was stifling with the windows closed - but with the windows open it was impossible to sleep due to the traffic noise and rowdy behaviour from the street far below (we were on the fifth floor, go figure!) Until the early hours of the morning there was shouting, car engines revving, people leaning on their car horns, and it almost seemed like they were racing in the street - no idea what was going on, but it was every night, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.We had to keep the windows closed all night, and consequently woke in the morning drenched in sweat.It wasn't the hotel's fault, but you would think that in a civilised country like Switzerland there would be some police around to deal with what was certainly anti social behaviour?We liked the hotel, but we would have to think carefully about returning for a stay in the warmer months of the year when we could not sleep with the windows closed.

  Beautiful Views and Convenient Location, but Let Down by Heat and Noise

  05 Jun 2025

  The hotel enjoys a convenient location with excellent transport links, and the surrounding scenery is truly stunning – it left a strong impression on me. However, I was disappointed to find that the hotel does not have air conditioning. During warmer days, the room felt hot and stuffy, and I had no choice but to keep the door open for ventilation. Unfortunately, this resulted in a great deal of noise from the bar downstairs and nearby traffic. Even the sound of doors opening or closing became very disruptive.One senior member of staff was very helpful and professional, though another, seemingly less experienced staff member, would benefit from further training in customer service.Overall, the experience was acceptable. I would consider returning during a cooler season when temperature and ventilation are less of an issue.

  Second Stay, Still Stunning: My Experience at Swiss Wine Hotel

  28 May 2025

  I recently returned to the Swiss Wine Hotel during my 2025 trip to Switzerland, eager to reconnect with friends and explore the charming city of Lausanne and its surroundings. Once again, the hotel proved to be the perfect base for my adventures. Its unbeatable location right outside Bessières Metro station made getting around a breeze, while a Coop supermarket just across the street offered convenience for any essentials. Within walking distance, I enjoyed visiting the historic Place de la Riponne and the breathtaking cathedral, all easily accessible via a scenic stroll across the Charles Bessières Bridge. My room (605) was impeccably clean and furnished with a plush, comfortable bed that ensured a restful night’s sleep. The only minor drawback was the warmth, as the room was situated in the attic, which made it quite cozy. However, the air conditioning swiftly alleviated the heat, albeit quite noisy when in operation.Despite that small inconvenience, I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. I highly recommend the Swiss Wine Hotel to anyone seeking a cozy, well-located spot in Lausanne. It’s a true gem for both leisure and exploration!
