This property is currently under renovation! Why would they even be open!!! I do not want to smell paint in the corridors leading to my room. The main entrance to the hotel is closed due to the renovation. While the rooms are neat and clean, getting to your room is another situation. The floors on level 2 and 3 are covered with taped down paper. There were pieces of sheetrock laying along the hallway walls. This is not an acceptable condition for the price paid. The hotel itself is very conveniently located adjavcent to the train station. There are pros and cons: convenience versus heavy traffic - both pedetrian and vehicular - outside the hotel.

Positiv: Personal war sehr freundlich, das Zimmer war sehr sauber. Das Essen schmeckte sehr gut. Lage ist sehr gut. Negativ: Beschränkte Anzahl Parkplätze (man musste in Bahnhofparking parkieren gehen). Hier die Gäste besser informieren. Beim Abendessen war die Stimmung durch andere Gäste gestört (Kinder sind herumgesprungen und haben geschrien). Zudem haben andere Gäste das Essen im McDonalds geholt und im Restaurant gegessen was auch etwas "störend" war. Hier hätten wir uns gewünscht, dass das Personal die anderen Gäste darauf aufmerksam gemacht hätten. Wir haben mitbekommen, dass beim Nachbartisch 6 Personen etwas essen wollten und wegen dem Kinderlärm dann nichts gegessen haben und nach einem Getränk wieder gegangen sind.. Auch andere Gäste fühlten sich gestört.

Overall, a good hotel in a great central location — very convenient for exploring the city. However, a few downsides impacted the experience. There was no on-site parking, and I ended up having to park under the nearby train station, which was quite expensive. The Wi-Fi password provided didn’t work initially, and the shampoo bottles in the room were empty. On the bright side, the staff were friendly and responsive — they addressed the Wi-Fi and amenities issue promptly, but unfortunately, there wasn’t much they could do about the parking. Good stay overall, but worth noting these points for future guests.

The hotel was nice, rooms are decent. The building had lots of construction which waz annoying bc there was constant noise and no consideration for people who might want to sleep late. I was unlucky to get a room by the elevator/stairs so people are rude and loud. Also was a little upon arrival i was enformed that i had breakfast included in my stay. I missed two days. That was unfortunate. Overall close to station and walking around. Those are the perks.

Stayed here one night on a quick trip to Lucerne. Property is being renovated. Clean basic rooms, beds were comfortable. good location next to bahnhof and old town. No AC presumably due to renovations, no refrigerator so when I left my Swiss chocolate in the room and came back from sightseeing it was actually so hot in the room it was melted:( Quite expensive for product offered at this time. If you’re going to spend the money perhaps book something a bit nicer this price point.

The hotel itself was very close to the busy train station and walkable in 5 minutes.Lovely breakfast area with a small buffet breakfast.Would reccomend this hotel.Remember to bring a swiss plug adapter bcos our european 2 pin plugs didnt fit into their funny shaped sockets!!

The room looks good online in the pics. It’s a very plain, but clean room. The tv is a smart tv, so that’s a plus. Otherwise, there is no fridge and the room is just clean, not at all fancy, like I personally would expect from a $300 plus room/night. We missed the fact that there is no AC in the rooms. There is an oscillating fan that helps, and the window opens, but it doesn’t get cool by our standards. It was 23 degrees Celsius when we walked into the room and within 5 minutes, our bodies had raised the temperature up to 24.4 Celsius….thats 76 Fahrenheit. Luckily it rained and brought the temperature down outside and the room temp dropped to 22.3……72. I have never had a more uncomfortable pillow in my entire life. My wife’s pillow was fine, but sleeping without air conditioning and on top of a lumpy pillow was not ideal. The other issue that was annoying was a fluctuation in water temperature in the bathroom. While taking a shower, the temperature fluctuated about 40°. One minute it was fine as you had set it then it got much cooler and then extremely warm to the point of almost scalding. I thought maybe it was a Swiss thing during their showers. The hotel staff said it isn’t. Overall, paying over $300 for a room with no air, no fridge and water that isn’t steady is crazy, but hotels in Lucerne, and Switzerland in general are crazy.

The hotel is brilliantly located, beautifully decorated and the staff were great. However the rooms do not have air conditioning and instead some other form of cooling which was not effective and cannot be controlled. Also the walls were pretty thin and there was a big transfer of noise from the room next door and outside

The hotel is in a great location but that’s pretty much the only thing about it. Stayed there for 3 nights, i would 100% not return. The rooms are extremely small, there’s not even one shelf to put your clothes on, had to keep everything in my luggage. Shower was ridiculously tiny, i kept hitting my elbows on the shower wall while washing my hair but the biggest problem was the lack of AC. Which was my fault for not paying attention and booking a hotel without AC. There was an old fan in the room that did nothing other than giving me a headache, hotel manager told us to just keep the window open. It was very hot outside so that didn’t help not to mention it was extremely noisy since it was facing main street. Do yourself a favor and stay somewhere else!

19th century hotel, interior nicely improved to modern standards. Room was not large but fine for 2. We got “upgraded” to a quiet room on 2nd floor. This was a laughable upgrade. The window overlooked a light well that was illuminated all night. No window shade. Was lucky to have my blindfold.

Very clean hotel in a convenient location, breakfast was okay, staff were nice. The only downside - after paying for a Premium Room, we were given a Comfort Room. The size, decor and bed were all signs that we had been given the wrong room. Desk staff at first insisted that I had booked the comfort room. After showing that I had in fact booked a Premium Room they offered a “free upgrade” for three nights out of the four we stayed - the best they could do. If you plan on booking here, make sure you are given what you’ve paid for.

There are a large number of attractions and restaurants/bars within a couple minutes. At check in we received a voucher for free public transportation and discounts while in Lucerne.

Nadim was awesome. He truly made our first stay in Switzerland memorable. We liked the accommodations so much we decided to stay an additional day. He added it at the same rate and included breakfast. He even brought a fan up to our room while we were out, since there’s no AC and it was hot (for Americans). Definitely will stay here on our next visit

At the checkhout the amount to pay was different that what my reservation indicated. They told me that hotels.com didnt considered some taxes, so I must pay the difference. I understood, previously, that hotels.com consideres all the taxes and Í only needed to pay an amount that was lower that US$ 10 for the city taxes.

Check-in was very quick and easy. The receptionist greeted us with a smile and even apologised that it was raining in Lucerne. Good size room comfortable bed. Remember that Swiss plugs are different to a lot of EU countries. Thankfully we managed to pick one at London airport. Location was excellent right next to the train station. It’s a 5 minute walk to the Chapel bridge. It’s my birthday today and when I went to check out the gentleman at reception gave me a birthday card and a chocolate which was such a nice gesture. I recommend this hotel and will most definitely stay there again.
