Great location with a view of the lake, but it is tricky to find as it’s in a side alley. It’s an old building, so no lifts, and no air conditioning. There’s no staff/reception desk, so you need to pre-register and then connect to an intercom on arrival for the door to be opened. There is a large carpark in the next street, but it’s only free between 10pm and 7am, so you have to be up early to get a ticket, as there are parking inspectors.
I've stayed here 10 times now when travelling for work. Overall it's not a bad choice given the competition in the area and I will continue to use regularly unless there is a heavy discount on the next grade of hotel. I prefer this to the Moxy and the continental which have their own issues with room comfort.
I love the quirky design of the hotel. It's clearly high quality being part of the Marriott chain but it feels like a cool modern hotel that's fun and different. I'm already recommending it to other colleagues and friends of mine. I also loved that it was easy to buy some extra toiletries (e.g. toothpaste) on arrival as it's easy to forget these essentials. The welcome drink and the free public transport ticket was also a very welcome surprise. It was also easy to store my luggage in spacious lockers after check out.
The staff was excellent and amazing. I would love to come more often. A friend recommended the Moxy, so I had high expectations.
We really enjoyed the location of Moxy and the friendliness of staff! It was a perfect stay for a few days in the city of Lausanne! The smart TV was also a great feature!
