KAYAK's top tips for finding Lausanne hostel deals

  • Business travellers looking for budget overnight accommodation can benefit from booking at Lausanne hostels or B&Bs, rather than unnecessarily increasing the cost of a bed for the night by booking a hotel room. Bed and Breakfast Prilly-Lausanne is a quiet, private place to book, with all the basic amenities you need for a comfortable night’s sleep before continuing your trip. It has free private parking on site and its own garden. You’ll have a washing machine and a coffee machine, and there’s an on-site ATM, in case you need to withdraw cash in a hurry.
  • If you’re travelling as a group, one the first Lausanne hostels to look at is Lausanne Youth Hostel Jeunotel. It’s a budget place to stay, but it’s far from cheap and cheerful. It offers a full buffet included in the price, has a bar and also gives you complimentary bus cards for public transport. Communal amenities include a business centre and laundry facilities, and there is a safe in which you can store valuables. You’ll have a view over Lake Geneva, adding a great location to the benefits of staying here. It’s a little removed from Lausanne city centre, but it’s still within walking distance; it will take you around 30min to get there on foot.
  • For a cosy place to escape on holiday by yourself or with your partner, you can also consider privately owned B&Bs that are just as cost effective as Lausanne hostels. A good one is B&B Kelly, in the quiet neighbourhood of Renens. It’s run by the owners themselves, who are very friendly and welcoming and are always available to look after your needs. It’s also an adults-only establishment, so you won’t be disturbed by enthusiastic children on the premises. You’ll have your own dining area and a patio leading onto a garden. You can also enjoy a home-cooked breakfast each morning.
  • If you’re looking for a cheap hostel in Lausanne, you should consider going during the low season. You’ll generally find lower-priced hostels in Lausanne in January and October.
  • Hostel room prices vary depending on many factors but you’ll likely find the best hostel deals in Lausanne if you stay on a Saturday. The most expensive day for hostel bookings is Friday.
  • If you want to ensure you grab a bargain, try to book at least 62 days before your stay to get the best price for a Lausanne hostel.
  • Don’t know how much time you need to see all the sights? KAYAK users usually book their hostel in Geneva for 2 days.
