We got a room facing the lake...great view. The hotel is very convenient. 2 min walk from the Ouchy train station. We took a train from Geneva to Lausanne, and from main station to Ouchy took a max of 10 min. Excellent breakfast with many different selections, and the room is clean and reasonable. Very good value for Switzerland. 10... More

Stayed for 1 night in order to be relatively close (by train) to Geneva airport for early flight. Friendly efficient staff, excellant breakfast and clean, comfortable room in hotel both close to metro station Ouchy (200 metres) that connects directly with main line station and lakeside prom (100 metres), together with numerous restaurants.

Main attraction here is the location, raise the lake and beside the tram. Try to get a lake view, it make all the difference. Rooms are average. More

We found this hotel to be a good value for Switzerland. There are much more expensive 4 and 5 star hotels that share the same location and similar views. This hotel is on the lake and very close to a metro station which is very convenient to get to the train station and to central Lausanne. We were given a... More

This hotel is located directly across from the Chateau d'Ouchy, right 'on' the lake in this excellent part of Lausanne. Given the prices and often limited availability of the 'higher-end' properties in this area I would recommend this hotel as a 'more economical' option. But be advised that, in this area, prices are so high that 'economical' is 150-200 CHF... More

Our room was lovely, clean, comfortable, and quiet. Breakfast was good. Location excellent. Service was helpful and friendly. Wi-fi was free and strong. Nice view out over the lake. Our one caveat is that we arrived by car. You have to pull up on the sidewalk and quickly unload your bags. There were 3 of us, so I could leave... More

At 200 CHF for a double room Hotel du Port seems cheap by Swiss standards, however behind the 3 star rating is a well run, small hotel with great attention to detail and great location opposite the lake at Ouchy. The welcome was warm and efficient, the room was very clean and well appointed (although the bathroom was slightly dated)... More

The welcome we received was warm. The hotel was absolutely clean. We had booked a lake view room. The room was large, the bathroom was also large, perhaps not the most modern you would ever find but comfort is the most important thing for me. Maybe the heating was a little too warm but there's a tap on the radiator... More

The hotel is situated in a beautiful location overlooking the lake. There is a comfortable, relaxed air to the hotel. The staff are charming and extremely helpful. The restaurant is excellent and used by many locals as well as guests. Always a good sign. More

rooms were clean, breakfast included in our rate was quite good. location is across street from waterfront and near Olympic museum. no AC meant that we needed to keep the windows open and the street traffic and waterfront park noise made sleeping difficult. hotel fronts directly onto sidewalk and street. there is no way to pull in for unloading luggage...
