Hotel Regina - Lausanne, Switzerland 

We stayed at this hotel on May 1, 2008. The hotel was very nice and the room was quite large. The owners of the hotel, Michael and Dora, were wonderful people and very helpful. Unfortunately for us it was Labor Day. There was a small riot going on when we got there. Street noise was very loud at night and since there was no air conditioner we had to keep our windows open. Internet access was available in the lobby and breakfast was very good. I would recommend this hotel.

The hotel is located in the middle of the old town and main shopping area and was very convenient for our stay. We took a metrobus from the train station (1 stop) and it was a 5 minute walk from the bus stop following clear directions from the hotel. I wouldn't walk, especially not with luggage as it is all up hill and quite steep. I can see that it might be a bit more complicated by car as the area is mostly pedestrianised and the carpark quite far. The hotel itself is quite old but although it wouldn't win any prizes in the style stakes, it was very clean and well-kept. There is a computer with internet access for free use in the lobby and free wifi in the rooms. The hotel doesn't have many exceptional features to mention or special atmosphere. It is however functional and convenient. It seems quite expensive in termsof quality but Swss hotels are apparently very expensive anyway. I would consider staying there again.
