The Best Hostels in Lausanne for Backpackers, Families, and Couples

Situated on Lake Geneva, Lausanne offers a great old town surrounded by hills. The Olympic Museum is here, as are plenty of other old cathedrals, museums, and more.

The hostels and hotels listed below are some of the only options in town, unfortunately. They are large and offer plenty of amenities for every type of traveler, from families to couples to backpackers. They are all different in their own atmosphere, style, and vibe, so make your decision carefully. Also, keep in mind that free transportation passes come with bookings of almost all hostels and hotels in the city, so location is not as important because the public transportation here is great.
