Pension Bienvenue (Women only)0

The location of this pension is excellent. Right beneath the train station in Lausanne. It is right on the tracks, but I didn't find the noise to be an issue (the provide ear plugs). The woman who runs the pension is lovely. She speaks only French, but manages to communicate with everyone. She is super helpful and will do anything for you. When I arrived, I couldn't unlock my bag and she helped me to find a solution. The space is really comfortable and very clean. The bed was also comfortable (not too soft). There are plenty of showers and hot water was not a problem.

The only drawback of this pension is that is has no elevator and the ceilings in this old building are very high, so there are a lot of stairs. My room was on the third floor and getting my luggage up there was not easy (although Mdm. Moret carried it up the first time). The only other negative aspect is that the wifi didn't work on the third floor, so I had to come down a floor to be able to communicate.

Fabulous warm welcome for which I was grateful as due to accidents on the road my 17h00 arrival was actually delayed to 19h15 (and she was supposed to close up at 1900). Muito obrigada! Grateful for the kitchen where I could make coffee and the living room area that I could use until my early afternoon departure the next day. Nice little neighborhood to take a relaxing walk in with some cafes to eat at and boutiques to browse round in.

I forgot there wasn't a lift...but I survived walking up 3 flights with my suitcase - smile. Also, it is near the train station so you will hear the noise of trains - which I didn't mind.

Very close to the train station. Good value of money. I think one doesnt stay here for luxury, but rater for the affordability. My room was spacious and the high ceiling made it look even bigger. Bathroom was cleaned each day. Did not use the kitchen besides making a cup of tea. I manage to break the water caraf by accident and the administrator was kind to not make me pay for it.

The room was very cozy, the common areas were very clean and nice. The location right next to the train station is very convenient

The place could get little bit noisy because of the trains passing. It didn't affect me but I can see how it can affect people who are more sensitive to noise. They offered earplugs, so it shouldn't be a problem!

The place is well-kept and the room is lovely. Everything is clean. The reception lady is friendly and really helpful. My best hostel experience so far!

This place is closed to the track so if you are a light sleeper, you may find it a bit annoying. It doesn't really bother me but I feel like it is worth mentioning.

Comfortable room in a great pension, very close to train station

Because it's directly next to the train station, the train wakes you up every half hour at night. There is no fan in the room, so you have to keep the window open for some airflow to sleep at night, making the train extra annoying.

Charming old building with big rooms, high ceilings etc. Extremely well located just south of the train station. The check-in and service was incredibly welcoming and friendly.

Be prepared to hear the trains at night.

The host was very friendly and the pension has all the facilities that are needed. From some small details you could see the care for the guest, which made me feel welcome

A bit noisy due to the proximity to the train station and because the building is quite old. Wifi worked well just in a part of the room

I liked that it was private. I liked the old style building and rooms. There was a socializing room and a community kitchen.

The nicest place, feels like home. Nice staff, comfortable bed, great position

Toilet and bathroom services could be improved
