Lausanne Guesthouse & Backpacker

Lausanne Guesthouse & Backpacker sits at Chemin des Epinettes 4, just off Avenue d'Ouchy, and has been rated the number-1 budget stay in Lausanne year after year. It scores 8.5/10 on HotelsCombined and Booking.com (1,043 reviews via Trivago). Dorm beds start around $46 a night — many times cheaper than a standard 3-star room in the city — which is why budget travelers make it their base.

Rooms and decor

There are dorms of 4 to 8 beds, with wooden bunks and mattresses that reviewers call comfortable, plus private rooms for 1 to 4 people — some with an ensuite bathroom, some sharing, so it pays to check the room type when you book. The look is simple but clean and lively, and the linen is fresh and changed to hostel standard. Guests describe the place overall as clean and well run.

Food and amenities

The shared spaces are the real draw. There's a clean guest kitchen with a fridge, stove, basic cookware and a place to sit, and plenty of guests cook their own meals to dodge Lausanne's steep dining prices. A bright lounge with sofas and reading material and a small garden patio out back round it out. Wi-Fi is free throughout, there's a shared computer, and you'll find coin-operated laundry and an iron. A budget morning coffee and croissant service gets repeat praise, though there's no full breakfast buffet.

Location and getting there

Location is the headline strength: a 2-minute walk (about 150 m) to Lausanne Railway Station and the Lausanne-Gare M2 metro. From there, direct trains run to Geneva Airport (GVA) in about 40-50 minutes and to Montreux in 20, while the M2 drops you at Ouchy on the lake in 8 — all covered by the free pass the hostel hands out. The Epinettes bus runs often on Chemin des Epinettes, and the immediate area is fairly quiet, since it's a residential pocket rather than a tourist strip.

Things to know before booking

The dorms have no privacy and can be noisy with people coming and going at all hours — light sleepers should weigh a private room. Some room types share bathrooms instead of having an ensuite, so read the description closely before you commit. And there's no full breakfast: the cheap coffee and croissant is the extent of the food on site, so plan to self-cater or eat out.

Lausanne Guesthouse & Backpacker坐落于Epinettes小径4号，紧邻Ouchy大道，多年来一直被评为洛桑第一名预算住宿。在HotelsCombined和Booking.com（通过Trivago的1,043条评价）上评分8.5/10。多人床位约$46/晚起——比城中标准三星级房间便宜数倍——这就是为何预算旅客将此作为根据地的原因。

客房与装潢

提供4至8人多人宿舍，配有木制床架，床垫被住客称为舒适，以及可容纳1至4人的私人房间——部分含独立卫浴，部分共用，预订时务必确认房型。整体风格简洁但干净活泼，床铺洁净，按旅舍标准定期更换。住客总体描述这里干净、管理有序。

餐饮与设施

公共设施是真正的亮点。设有干净的客用厨房，配备冰箱、炉灶、基本厨具和用餐空间，许多住客自行烹饪以规避洛桑的高餐饮价格。后院有一个采光良好的休息室和沙发及阅读材料，还有一个小花园露台。全酒店Wi-Fi免费，设有公共电脑，投币式洗衣机和熨斗也一应俱全。不断获得好评的预算版早晨咖啡和牛角包服务也是一大亮点，但没有丰盛早餐自助。

地理位置与交通

地理位置是最大优势：步行2分钟（约150米）即达洛桑火车站和洛桑Gare M2地铁站。从这里，直达列车约40-50分钟可达日内瓦机场（GVA），20分钟到蒙特勒，而M2地铁8分钟可将您送至湖边的Ouchy——这些都包含在旅舍提供的免费通行证中。Epinettes公交在Epinettes小径频繁发车，周边是宁静的住宅区而非旅游街道，环境相对安静。

预订前须知

多人宿舍无私密性，住客可能在各个时间进出，噪音难以避免——睡眠较浅的旅客应考虑私人房间。部分房型共用卫浴而非独立卫浴，请在确认预订前仔细阅读说明。另外，没有丰盛早餐：廉价咖啡和牛角包是现场唯一的餐饮服务，建议准备好自炊或外出用餐。

我们的总评

这里最适合预算有限、仍希望拥有中心住所的背包客、学生、单人旅客和朋友群体——在这样一座昂贵的城市，约$46/晚的多人床位实属难得。公共厨房和良好的公共区域让旅客之间容易相识，预算有限的小家庭也可以选择私人房间。若您希望获得完整的酒店服务、真正的私密性和每间客房的独立卫浴，请考虑Hotel AlaGare或Elite Hotel。

This is the pick for backpackers, students, solo travelers and groups of friends on a tight budget who still want a central base — in a city this expensive, a dorm bed near $46 a night is genuinely hard to find. The shared kitchen and good common areas make it an easy place to meet other travelers, and budget-minded small families can take a private room. If you want full hotel service, real privacy and an ensuite in every room, look at Hotel AlaGare or Elite Hotel instead.
