Zleep Hotel Lausanne-Chavannes
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Book it if you want a clean, rated 3-star room in Lausanne for far less than the city median and you are fine taking public transport into the centre. Skip it if you want to walk out of the door into the old town, because the cathedral is about 5 km away.

This is our Budget pick for Lausanne. It makes most sense for people visiting EPFL or the campus area, for travellers driving through who want a predictable room, and for anyone who watches the nightly rate closely. Guests rate it 8.0 out of 10 across 1,502 reviews, which is solid for the price.
It is a weaker fit for a first visit focused on the old town and the lake. The listed sights are all more than an hour away on foot, so every trip into the centre means a metro ride, a bus or a taxi. Travellers who like to make tea in the room should also note that guests mention there is no kettle and no mini-fridge.
It is tagged as pet friendly. Conditions and fees for animals are not confirmed, so ask first.
Location and getting around
The address is Rue Centrale 39, in Chavannes, west of central Lausanne. Its location score is 7.9.
Straight-line walking estimates are 61 minutes to Lausanne Cathedral, 61 minutes to Saint-Maire Castle and 66 minutes to the Olympic Museum, at 4.9 to 5.3 km. Those are far. Plan on public transport or a taxi for all three.
The good news comes from guests: they say the metro station, the EPFL campus and supermarkets are a short walk away. Check the timetable for your dates, especially if you plan late evenings in town.
What guests say
Two things come up most often in positive feedback. First, the location works for people who need the campus or the metro. Second, breakfast: guests describe a varied buffet with fresh bread and good coffee. The listed breakfast styles are continental, vegetarian and buffet.
On the negative side, the main comment is about room kit. Rates are seen as competitive for the area, but rooms lack kettles and mini-fridges. Room size, noise levels and the state of renovation have not been assessed, so read recent reviews if any of those matter to you.
Price and how it compares with our other Lausanne picks
The reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026, for 2 adults in one room, was €120.69 a night, or about €241 for both nights. The median across the sample was €196.92, so this was 39% cheaper. These are reference prices, not live quotes, so check today's price for your own dates.
Our Best Value pick, Hôtel des Patients, came in at €198.51 a night with a guest score of 8.8 and a much more central address. Our Luxury pick, Lausanne Palace, was €369.50 with a score of 9.2. You are paying roughly €78 less per night than at Hôtel des Patients, and in exchange you get a lower score and a long ride into town.
Whether breakfast is in a given rate is not confirmed.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 8 eligible properties in Lausanne. This one had the lowest eligible reference price once the upscale choice was set aside, which is how we choose the Budget slot.
Its 8.0 score placed it 8th of those 8. Still, at around €121 against a median near €197, it is a sensible room for a cost-conscious trip.
Before you book
Listed facilities are free Wi-Fi, air conditioning and a terrace; fees and opening times are not confirmed. Check the cancellation terms, the breakfast in your rate and the pet policy. If you need a kettle or fridge, ask the hotel.
