Biberstein Vacations from AED2,611

A basic, no-frills hotel offering the essentials without extras like a mini fridge or coffee/tea-making facilities. The bed was a little on the hard side, but the room was clean and functional. The real highlight is the location—within easy walking distance to the charming old town, making it a convenient base for exploring the area.

The staff was very patient and helpful with us Americans. The hotel is updated and has a great location for the price. It’s close to the water, tons of shops and restaurants and was perfect for a short trip to Zurich. The rooms are bigger than others we’ve stayed in around Europe. Beds were comfortable and they provide multiple pillow options. There’s no A/C (I understand that’s hit and miss over there), but the fan provided wasn’t great, which was tough in August. The biggest issue was the Wi-Fi. We had almost no connectivity throughout our 3-day stay, though it was fine in the lobby. We’d go to connect and the Wi-Fi either didn’t show up 75% of the time or it would and would disconnect just a few minutes into use. This was on a few devices so I know it wasn’t just our phones. Other than the internet, I’d recommend the hotel, as I can recognize AC is just different over there.

This hotel is a short walk from the main HB train station. It’s surrounded by lots of restaurants , cafes and has shopping options. It’s also few minute walk from the lake. The room itself was renovated and had everything you need for a comfortable stay. Staff were very caring and supportive.

Nice hotel in the mountains of Lausanne close to the lake, good parking, pleasant room and ok breakfast all included.
