Location is far to center and price is really expensive for a hostel. However staff is nice, hostel has free breakfast and transportation card for the guests. Corridors and common areas could be noisy especially when they host group of kids in the weekends.Beds and pillows are not very comfortable. Showers and toilets are clean

Very affordable option with breakfast included. Accommodation is very simple and solid but definitely room for improvement as needs some in room facilities (tea/coffee, hairdryer). Room was also not cleaned and towels are not changed. More options for breakfast would also be good.
Friendly staff. Very helpful in answering questions about the area and transportation etc Free breakfast. A little off beaten path but easy access to public transportation. Transportation pass provided. Room was warm with no air condition but nice amenities and very clean and well maintained. Great price. Would stay here again.
Pleasant short walk from Bois de Vaux bus stop. Smooth path, no stairs, easy access even with a luggage.
Room was spacious and clean.
Toilets were also nice and clean.
Towels are chargeable so remember to bring your own if you don't want to rent one.
24h front desk was a nice to have; knowing that help is there whenever you need it. super friendly staff :)
would 10/10 come back here to stay.

The staff were nice and helpful.
The beds were too soft to have a good sleep.
FYI, no soap for washing habds, no shampoo.
I don’t know why this hostel has good star, but I didn’t have any good experience in this place. The receptionist so rude not light in the room because we have to share our rooms very hot during summer no fan the conditions are very bad. I brought one toast to my room the receptionist knocked my room with rude manner.
Localização ótima para descansar e caminhar no parque que está à 300 metros. Próximo a transportes que levam em 15 minutos até região central ou a Auchy, Museu Olímpico, etc
Le seul point "négatif" est le.manque de volets, les gros rideaux ne suffisent pas et, dans ma chambre, le fait que la fenêtre soit si haute que je ne pouvais pas la fermer et j'ai dû déranger un employé pour ça.... Pour tout le reste, super!!! Si je reviens à Lausanne, je sais où dormir!!!

Alles in die Jahr gekommen. Funtioniell. Das Zimmer ohne Dusche/WC hat auch kein Lavabo.
