Contact the publishers who offer the rooms which you are interested in. If the ad mentions a phone number and an email address, it is better to call as contact can be made more quickly. You can also suggest Skype meetings if you cannot travel here.
If you can, go and visit the room. The best case would be to have organized several visitation appointments before your arrival in Lausanne.
