Powered by AI
Swiss Wine By Fassbind is appreciated for its prime location, right next to the Bessieres metro station, making it easy to explore Lausanne, and many guests enjoyed the short walk to the cathedral. The rooms are generally well-decorated and many provide a lovely view of the cathedral. Some guests have noted the lack of air conditioning, however, rooms offer comforts such as a safe, kettle, and fridge. complimentary public transport passes are a welcome benefit for exploring the city.

acceptable stay, but SOME issues

free transport ticketsfaulty kettle
the hotel provided free transport tickets for the duration of my stay, covering metro, tram, bus, and train within the area.
I found the kettle in my room to be faulty. Boiling water spilled onto my hand. Upon checkout, the receptionist interrupted me repeatedly when i reported this. She showed no concern and did not offer assistance.
