If I could give 11 out of 10, I would. Yoshi and Rob went over and above to make sure we were looked after, from picking us up from the bus station to dropping us off at the restaurant for Christmas dinner. The breakfast every morning was hot and tasty. The location is close to a couple of ski shuttle bus stops. Echoland, with its restaurants and bars, is 5 minutes walk. The rooms are not luxurious, but they’re cosy and you have access to a little sitting room. This honestly felt like home for a week for us and our adult kids.

Breakfast was great. Location was a short walk to bus routes that will get you around the area, and a short walk to the smallish Echoland retail scene.

Without a car, you are mostly limited to the local Echoland village scene, however this is a feature of the village and not the hotel itself. Taxi and bus service won’t provide reasonable options to explore other villages. Be prepared to take multiple busses and wait for limited schedules to ski resorts other than Happo-One.

Excellent location, Rob and Yoshi made really good recommendations for mountains for us beginners. 10% off at Lion rentals because we stayed here and then Yoshi took our gear back for us so we didn't have to worry!! Breakfast was always delicious and it was nice chatting to other guests who you often see coming in and out.

So cute!! Very homely and friendly. Short walk to echo land and shuttle bus stop just down the road for ski resorts. Nice wet room for drying snowy gear. Staff were more than accommodating, delicious breakfast and pick us up from the station and drops us off.

Breakfast was bacon, eggs, sausage with toast and cereal was there too. It was perfect for us. There was lots to eat. The hosts were wonderful. The one thing that was really nice was the ski drying room worked great. The hosts were amazing. Rob drove us to the hills one day and the bus station the day we came home.

no it was great

The breakfast was excellent and changed daily. The hosts were so hospitable and accomodating of personalised requests. They also kindly provided a shuttle service to and from the train station on arrival and departure.

Lovely host, delicious breakfast, great locations (oak forest bus stop is a 3 min walk from the property and is the first stop on the bus so you always get a seat). Also a nice lounge room to socialise with other guest! Would recommend!

Great location 4 minutes from a free shuttle to the mountains and 10 minutes from Echoland and the paid shuttle. The room was clean and cosy and our hosts were lovely and super informative. Great breakfasts, local information and restaurant bookings.

Loved the breakfast each morning. Rob and Yoshi are exceptional hosts. They were welcoming, friendly and helpful. It was also great to have a heated drying room for ski equipment. Chateau Lausanne is well located near everything you would want.

THere really is nothing that we didn't like.

Hotel is within walking distance from Echoland and the shuttle bus stop. Rooms are clean, cozy and comfortable. Rob and Yoshi are very friendly and welcoming to their guests and the hotel has a nice homely vibe. Would love to visit again in the summer!!
