The hotel is located in the centre of Lausanne, within walking distance of the train station and the Lausanne Cathedral. The hotel has a European feel. Although the facilities are relatively old, the rooms are large and clean, and the balcony can see the city and lake views. Room service is attentive. If the waist is not good, you can also add wooden boards, which is also suitable for bringing children and children.

It’s a 2 min walk from the IMD campus. So a perfect choice for the schools visitors. An efficient and convenient business hotel, with all you’ll need. One downside is the more expensive premium rooms (renovated) are facing the back , and the older rooms have the lake view. A nice Gym as well and a good spread at breakfast. Although would be nice if they’d add an egg station or change the menu a bit. For IMD students who stay for many days it becomes a bit boring to have the same scrambled eggs every day 😊

This was a very surprising experience because ALL of the other hotels we have been were so clean and great in every way. Switzerland is a very clean country even the railway stations are clean not to mention the train carriages and all the other hotels we have seen, and on this trip we visited by now 7 other similar category ones all spotless. So if I wanted to be kind I would say it’s all run down and the owner has a terminal disease whereby he would not care for the property anymore.., but if I want to be realistic it was downright dirty and disgusting. The room was large with old style furniture probably furnished twenty years ago and never cleaned the upholstery. There were dark spots on the little sofa and chairs most likely from someone’s shoes. The wall paper was all faded and also dirty. There was a note on the night stand to say they only change the linen every three days due to being “greens” so when I checked a pillow and seen a huge dark stain poking out from under the sham we just did not use that.. next to the bed there was a sticky spot on the blue carpet and in a good case scenario it must have been hair gel..(?) whatever it was they just ignored it. The shutters on the windows were half way broken off their rails.. the wood of the furniture was so scuffed I could not tell if it was a dark or a light stain originally ( ?!!) It is a 4 star hotel?!)? OMG And in Switzerland where even the WC / toilet is sanitary and clean.. I have to make a distinction though, the junior stuff was extremely nice and helpful at the reception and a test it is the fault of the manager or owner or both, not the employees. They were very great. The manager ( who seemed like the boss ) was giving them all instructions when we got in the door and proceeded to tell us that our accommodations are ready and since it’s a mini suite it will be phenomenal. The location is amazing right across the station so it suited us. And other then the horrible grunginess and dirty conditions it would have been fine. The bathroom was fine but the room really made me write this bad review. It is a shame to have a hotel saying they have four star rating and not clean up their act ( in this case literally). Mitzi

Starling did most things that you would expect from a business hotel quite well. An added bonus for me travelling with family was that they allow pets, which is why I chose to stay here. On the negative side, I would expect given the prices charged that little ”extras” like a fridge and coffee machine in the room and a microwave oven available for public use would come as part of the package, but sadly no.

So wonderful! The scenery is good, the hotel likes it, as beautiful as a fairy tale, recommended recommended recommended!

Good location very close to the railway station, restaurants etc and a short hop on the metro either downhill to the lake or uphill to the centre of town. One of the nice check in 'gifts' was a public transport pass for the length of your stay....handy. Rooms are a little bizarre in design and don't take a cat as you won't be able to swing it!!. Bed very small, low and uncomfortable however walk in shower in the small partitioned bathroom very good. Breakfast OK ish. Think you pay a premium for the excellent view of the lake. Reception staff very good and helpful. Nothing special about this place but handy, very clean with good staff.

The location is right by the sea, the view is excellent, some rooms may not have a lift, there is a luggage service, there is a parking lot, but the location is limited, you need to take the subway to the old town of Lausanne, the hotel will provide a free subway ticket.

This is a lovely comfortable hotel. It has a large lobby and check in was quick.We were very pleased to have received an upgrade when we got there to a really lovely top floor room with the most amazing view of the city, mountains and the lake! The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was spotless. Breakfast was pleasant. The hotel is in a good area near the high-end shopping district and about 5 minutes walk from the cathedral. It was 10 minutes uphill from the station and about 15 minutes downhill to the lake. We didn't try the hotel restaurant as there were plenty of restaurants around. Overall good experience thank you.
