Poor hospitality. Restaurant staff are also staff taking care of guests needs. Received impatient attitude during check in. I think they are more interested in their restaurant business than Hotel business. 
Beware, there is no lift! And you can imagine the terrible experience having to carry your big luggage up!
The room is also in bad condition. The wardrobe is spoilt with faulty door. A piece of cardboard was used to hold the door from opening. The toilet seat is yellowish with stains. And the room is "slanting". 
It was a stay of 2 person but only one guest card for one person had been given. Why can't another card be issued?
Only benefit is that, the location is good. That's all...

Poor experience

We loved our stay at Hotel Le Raisin in Lausanne. The room was very artsy and well-decorated. We each had a big checked bag size of luggage and a carry-on and were able to carry both up the flights of stairs with little problem. The stairway is narrow, but expected for an older building and it was fine. Don't let that comment in others' reviews sway you if you are reasonably fit and such. I am middle-aged and chubby and did just fine. :)

The views from the room we stayed in were so pretty too. A view of the town and the comings and goings of everyone. The staff understood my English just fine, so that also wasn't a problem (I read complaints of this in other reviews...either way I didn't care about that aspect...there is always Google translate).

Great stay.

Great place to stay

The location is excellent!
We received upon arrival vouchers for public transportation in Lausanne, for the duration of our staying in town. 
Being right in the hart of the town, one cannot but hear every strike of the bell of the Hotel du Ville, at every hour, day AND night... But I guess it’s part of the experience! :)
On a more negative note, rather amusing to me: the cleaning ladys do not go the extra mile: e.g., they would collect the garbage, but would not pick the cherry seed dropped near the garbage can.

Excellent location. Very good experience.

If you go expecting a "hotel" you will be very disappointed. It's more like an Airbnb of some spare rooms run by the restaurant downstairs. If you go in with this expectation, it's good.

Cons: No front desk and the woman who runs it might not be around when you arrive (nobody is around on Sunday at all so your stay can't begin or end then). Very sparse room, bathroom door didn't latch. Building is very old and the floors are slanted and creaky. There's only one stairway, no elevator, and no fire escape. No electrical outlets in the bathroom. No A/C. In the morning it smells like onions from the restaurant.

Pros: Location in Lausanne is ideal. Close to the tram that goes up the hill, there's a market outside on Saturday morning and lots of nearby shopping and interesting restaurants. The woman who runs the rental was accommodating of changes since we decided to cut our Lausanne visit short. Things were clean (though cheap and old).

More like an Airbnb

Whether it was the range of the items on the menu, all locally sourced, or the service or the imagination that went into creating the dishes; this place is a must! I suspect that those not used to Swiss prices may find it on the pricey side but most of us will not. For a Birthday lunch, this was perfect.

I cannot fault this restaurant.

This hotel is situated in the centre of the old town very near metro station. The building is old and small and the rooms are different.  I stayed in the attic Suite (suite attique) which is right under the roof and is large an comfortable. The old wooden beams are exposed and there is a great view over the roofs towards the cathedral on one side and city hall on the other. 

There is one room with with a double bed, a small complete kitchen, another TV area with a single bed. The bathroom with a good shower.

Downside: it is up 5 flights of steep stairs with no lift. The breakfast is a (typical?) Swiss affair with a croissant, fresh orange juice coffee and bread and preserves.

PIck your room

Altough the location is good and charming, the hotel is lacking in any kind of charme or care. The room was small and indeed, the bathroom was 'put in the room' and seperated with a glass door. The price does not warrand the room at all, and the restaurant downstrairs is quite noisy. The staff is not very welcoming or warm. My vegetarian meal was just aweful: a large pancake of aubergine slices with mozzarella on top. A little tomato sauce and that's it. No, I don't thing I will ever go back...

Not very welcoming

Location is very central on a lovely town square walking distance to station, cathedral, restaurants, shops and metro. 
Simple accommodations with bathroom built into room by a simple glass cube without ceiling. Cupboard had no doors. Dark room, view onto tiny court and into pizzeria's windows. Tea and water complimentary.
We were asked to pay bill with hardly a welcome. Coffee and Croissant (not included) served without even a plate. Expecting a sober Swiss auberge, we were very disappointed by the lack of attention to detail considering the price.

Charming location but throughly over-priced!

The worse hotel and room that I have seen in Lausanne! we went to this hotel om Thursday and we stayed there for two nights! so long to stay to this room! the room was so old, the walls and the whole toom was old and real but reserved! For the bathroom they had just separated one small part of the already small room with just a glass wall and door. The door of the bathroom was not closing completely and the glass wall was not reaching the ceiling, so the bathroom was in reality just open!!!!
There was no view, we were just seein the wall from the building that was next to it!
Just avoid to book it!
