    central location
    indifferent service
    confusing parking

    Central location with easy access to public transport.

    The check-in process was frustratingly slow, taking nearly an hour. The staff seemed indifferent rather than welcoming, which added to my disappointment. Additionally, I encountered confusion regarding the car parking situation, as the hotel is located in a pedestrian zone, making access tricky for first-time visitors.

    Single recommend it for a one-night stay

    Had a good breakfast with a great view from the terrace. The staff was friendly and gave amazing tips for exploring around.

    It wasn’t cheap but was acceptable for the experience.

    friendly housekeeping
    slow check-in

    The location is unbeatable! Clean rooms with great housekeeping service! enjoyed the lovely breakfast (probably the best we had! ), fresh pastries and good coffee made for a delightful start to our day.

    The check-in process could be smoother, as it took longer than expected.

    clean rooms
    central location
    terrace views
    noisy environment

    Centrally located in Lausanne, the Hotel Crystal offered convenient access to shops and public transport. The room was clean and spacious, boasting neat bedding which made for a very comfortable stay. Free coffee and tea were available on the 5th floor, which added a nice touch. Breakfast options included delicious pastries with a great view from the rooftop terrace. However, I encountered a few issues. The check-in process was frustratingly slow, taking nearly an hour. Additionally, the room lacked air conditioning, making it uncomfortably warm during the night. Noise from the surrounding area could be quite disruptive, especially with street parties and conversations lasting into the early hours. Overall, while the location and cleanliness stood out positively, the noise and check-in delays were significant inconveniences.

    7/10

    Aye, the location was dope—real close to shops and public transport. The breakfast hittin’ different with fresh juice and fruits. Staff was mad friendly, too. Just wish the room was cooler, no AC made it rough on a hot night. Can't forget them church bells ringin' all night, though!

    stunning views from breakfast terrace
    cramped rooms

    The rooftop breakfast terrace offers stunning views, and it's conveniently located near public transport, making it easy to explore the local attractions. I also appreciated the friendly staff who helped me find my way around the city.

    The rooms can feel a bit cramped, which may hinder your overall comfort.

    comfy bed
    spacious room
    free coffee
    thin pillows
    oddly shaped pillows

    The room was very spacious with a comfy bed that felt like sleeping on clouds. I loved the vibrant colors and the quirky comic mural on the wall. But the pillows were a letdown—too thin and oddly shaped. It was awesome having free coffee available on the rooftop, enjoying the views while sipping fresh juice I made myself.
