Jasse du Milieu

The Afterwork is a lovely hotel. It is in close driving distance to beaches, vineyards, and conveniences like shopping and groceries. It is in a more commercial / industrial surrounding, so no views, but for the price it delivers excellent value. Check in and check out were easy. The hotel room was spacious and well designed. The bed is comfortable with a firm mattress and nice bedding. The room was tidy and well cleaned daily during our stay. We stayed during summer and it was really hot. The air conditioning at this hotel works well and kept us cool while we slept. We did not opt for breakfast but did have dinner one evening. The food could improve. Overall it was a great place to stay and we would return to this property.

This hotel has four different buildings. The one we stayed in required climbing 39 steps to get to the entrance; the others were much more accessible. Luckily, the hotel staff was most helpful and accommodating in carrying our suitcases to the room. The location is exquisite: opposite Lake Geneva and the well-maintained walking/running/biking path beside it, on the edge of a shopping /dining district in Lausanne. The rail shuttle to the main Lausanne train station runs every 3-7 minutes and is two blocks from the hotel parking lot. The hotel’s buffet breakfast is expensive. If a patisserie would suit your needs, there is an exquisite one a block away.

Great location, beautiful lobby, and helpful staff
