Accommodation tips

 

Accommodation

 

Lausanne has many hotels of varying price and quality. It is entirely up to you where you want to stay, but we would advise that you pick somewhere in and around the city centre or close to the main station.

There is also a hostel in Lausanne for those looking for less expensive accommodation: Lausanne Jeunotel.
