Starling Hotel Lausanne

Have stayed here several times and it is always a pleasure

Directly hotel access parking garage was available with fee. Hotel offered free Lausanne public transportation card so that we could use a metro and bus to the city center. Hotel staff were very nice and friendly. Every worker smiles and greets us. The room was sparkling clean, beautiful decorations. Bedding was super comfy with fresh sheets. However we feel uncomfortable about the room layout. We stayed in a business twin room. Shower room door and toilet door were frosted glass. Also there was no closed changing space. It was opened to the bedroom space. Besides there was a 10 cm of transparent gap on the partation between bedroom and washing space. Technically dressing space is a part visible from the bedroom. We wished we had known about it. It designed only for a couple. Otherwise everything was great.

Parking very easy awesome. Breakfast perfect and cheap if you have to pay but mine was included. Beach 10 min walk but dont go to university area on GPS as get lost..staff should explain exact directions and tell you train is free to other places without asking. There is a shuttle too. Overall great nearly 5 star but staff should know and explain great places and direct carefully and not after the fact. Other strange things are no ice machi es, no dressers in rooms and soaps that smell very bad. This is why 3-4 star but close to 5 if.mamanagement is not stubborn to make changes which i detected.

Great area in St Sulpice safe walkable great waterfront restaurants

hidden tourist fees

Lovely spot, with view over the Lake. Large clean rooms, modern design, but very Spartan. We arrived late and in room snacks were non-existent. Restaurant closed at 10pm. Too few electric outlets, and it would have helped to have a night light by the bathroom, which was internal and difficult to navigate in the dark.

Some issues with the room: Fridge unplgued from electricity i need to ask and move it to plugged it Shower gel was not working Shower did not drained AC was not working

Needed a point on Lake Geneva fairly central- easy to get to Geneva, Annecy, Mont Blanc, Montreaux and Lausanne. Easy access to autobahn- within 5 minute drive. No road noise. Heavy residential area. 2 good restaurants down by the lake. Ask for a room on the Lake view side. A/C in room - yes- not very cold. Hanging rod and open shelf is it for the closet- no drawers. Would recommend for business travelers. Good staff and hotel restaurant provides a nice breakfast and varied dinner menu weeknights.

Location was perfect for our needs. Staff was very accommodating when we added a 3rd guest after check-in. Air conditioning worked well. Very nice view from our room.

Stayed there after a wedding. The hotel was quiet and offered late checkout.

Nice modern design boutique art Bauhaus property away from center but convenient walking 20min from station . Offer good light healthy breakfast and thai food at evening.

Great staff. Good breakfast. Easy to take bus from property

Great location near universities

The checkin is like every year a fight. I pay extra to have a room overseeing the lake.. but always for 8 years long I initially get a room with a Terrace in the basement of the hotel. If you put your window open you get the smoke from others (not nice when you have astma) in your room and with 8 degrees Celsius you don’t even need a Terrace facing a bush. This time the checkin was even more unpleasant. The woman was quite rude and made sure by her way of answering my questions, my good mood disappeared.. I paid unnecessarily more for a superior room. As I last year got a a chicken Caesar salad with raw chicken, so eat outside the hotel already together with the checking experience this year, I guess it’s better to change hotel for the next years.

A nice hotel option, upscale, architecturally a bit severe but with a very nice view of the mountains (not so much the lake). Overall, the neighborhood is very safe but unattractive: EPFL is not a campus notable for its grade, and the hotel has some sort of muddy field behind it (but with a path you can follow to walk on the side of the lake, which I recommend). Restaurant is good but has a limited choice; bar is fine but mostly has fairly cheap liqueur at relatively steep pricing. But the staff is incredibly warm and helpful, and we valued that. If you plan to use the sofa or sleep on it, ask for a room with a sofa that isn’t ancient and lumpy. Only some rooms even have a sofa, but among those that do, many should have been replaced around 1975!

A nice university hotel for visitors to Lausanne, but a bit sterile and the suites lack a dividing wall. Rooms are very upscale, but the dinner menu is rather limited (yet everything I tried was fantastic). Hard spot to reach, and you need some sort of vehicle toget from here to anywhere else.

Very good value

Lovely modern hotel in quiet area with 10 minute drive to Lausanne. Room was spacious, breakfast good

Hôtel moderne, chambre confortable et bien organisée pour maximiser l’espace. Le personnel est accueillant. Le petit déjeuner manque de fruits et est en quantité insuffisante particulièrement lorsqu’ils accueillent des groupes.

Fantastic staff. Great breakfast and conveniently located to UNIL.
