“From what I gather, Hotel De La Paix Lausanne seems a smart choice, particularly given its prime location a short walk from both the cathedral and the COOP supermarket. The views of Lake Geneva, reportedly visible throughout the hotel, certainly add to the appeal. And the inclusion of a free metro pass strikes me as a genuine advantage for exploring the hilly city.”
