Perfect from start to finish!

Perfect three night stay at the end of July. Location is excellent, just steps away from the Lake and a couple of minutes walk to the metro. Then its only a few stops to the centre of Lausanne or the train station. The hotel give you a free public transport pass for the duration of your stay which also gives a discount in some of the museums. The room was lovely, a good size with wooden beams and high windows with a view of the lake. Very comfortable with a safe deposit box, fridge, and complimentary mini-bar, tea and coffee. Bathroom was also a good size. Very nice walk-in shower with a separate bath and good range of toiletries. Very nice, big, soft towels! Pool area is lovely. Very comfortable sunbeds and big towels. It was quite quiet most of the time we were there (although the weather wasn't always brilliant). On good weather days the hotel restaurant sometimes offer a drinks service at the pool. And a huge thank you to all of the hotel team, from the front desk to the restaurant to the super-efficient and smiley housekeeping team! We loved everything and would definitely stay here again!
Wonderful stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hotel Angleterre. Upon arrival, we received a complimentary upgrade, which we greatly appreciated. The swimming pool was fully equipped with all the necessary amenities. Check-in and check-out were smooth and pleasant.
Lovely hotel in a beautiful setting.

We stayed here for two nights, winding down a long European road trip. It made a great place to stop. Situated right on the edge of the lake, the setting could hardly be more attractive, and the lovely, immaculately tidy grounds feel cool and calming. Staff are pleasant and professional as you'd expect. Our room on the fourth floor was great, tucked up in the eaves of the building with a great view, though the lift only goes up to floor three so be warned, you'll have to get your bags up a flight of stairs to the top. The room was big and comfortable with a great bed and very good pillows, tastefully presented with a very appealing chaise long. Shower was excellent. The breakfast is superb, though bear in mind you'll pay Swiss prices. We wished we had booked an extra day so we could have enjoyed the grounds and pool area, but we wanted to make the most of Lausanne (a lovely city), so maybe that's one for next time. We'd definitely stay here again.
Soooo good
