Eco-friendly stay
Eco-friendly! Probably the first time in my life when the cleaning staff has not changed the used towel which was hanging in the bathroom (not dropped on the floor). Bravo!!!
The room itself was very dark and sad, I didn't like the design of it, made me feel depressed.
No coffee machine or electric kettle in the room unfortunately - for eco reason??

Excellent! Though, it would be nice to have air conditioner in the summer that you don't have to open windows that are facing the train station.

Nice place with good amenities around the property. The M1 metro line drops you off at the front door. Air conditioning did not work during our 3 day stay and the area can be loud at night / early morning. Good place if you can stay cheap though

Convenient for conferences
If you have a meeting at the university conference Center than this is the most convenient place to stay if you have a early start. Parking cost 20chf extra so include that in your budget if you arrive by car . Otherwise public transportation is very good and you can get a free 24hr public transport ticket if you register with Lausanne tourism website.

Convenient practical on campus hotel
The on campus EPFL hotel directly at the Swiss Tech Center is very convenient for an overnight stay with no hassle to get to the conference. Reception very kind to offer explanations and the public transport pass. Direct access to metro station at the entrance. Simple clean and practical. The shutters outside the room window look a bit fricky "prison-like". Breakfast for 15chf is expensive for the limited choice. Will choose it again for any onsite conference.

Good for a night.
parking is CHF 20 a night. which is riduculous as the room is 80. the toilette was quite dirty with different stains but the rest of the room was clean. The beds are very uncomfortable, not only are they small, but also they are lower on the head end side, so you are sleeping like in an uphill position. The area is basically dead, if you do not have a car you have to bring travel time with you. The good thing is though that a tram station is right in front of the Hotel. Totally fine for a night but sad that there are no prking possibilities.

Nice and practical hotel.
However can be noisy because of the tram on a side of the hotel or the students on the other side of the hotel.
All in all pricing is OK and room is clean. Beds are comfy

Very helpfully personnel, I arrived after midnight and code to hotel and room worked out as informed by the hotel. the room was ok but nothing special. however next to room charge there was another expensive parking cost. A student party was going on outside and the tram runs most of the night. It is a noisy place to stay at unfortunately.

Breakfast lounge is cheap with rattling metal tables. The choice of food is very limited. No cereals or soft boiled eggs available, additional coffee to be charged. Just increase the price for the breakfast

SwissTech Hotel EPFL
Very helpful Staff - quick response for late check in (no 24h front desk, but the check in was very easy with email instructions). The amenities are basic but adequate and convenient. The rooms are spacious, clean and quiet. Great for students and short stay and easy connection to public transports.
