This is really a beautiful old chalet, and in cooler weather, I would rate it 4-5 stars. BUT during the moderately hot weather (highs near 80F and humid) it was not very comfortable. Due to it's design (again, this IS a historic property) there was no cross ventilation of windows (there are 1 set of opening windows in each room) and the rooms were hot. They DID give us fans, and our oscillating fan was excellent but the tower fan given to our 2nd room (adult kids) was nearly worthless. Others have commented about creaky floors- yup, but that wasn't bothersome at all. We didn't even really hear the church bells chime at night either- apparently they do. We also had a hard time finding the entrance door- it is up the hill and around the back. There are arrows, but they're kinda vague. It would be very helpful if the check in people had said the entrance was around the back or if the arrow had said "back entrance" too. Breakfast was excellent and the staff was very helpful. A bright spot was that the beach was just across the street and so we swam to cool off every night. We also appreciated the beachside cafe with reasonable prices. In winter, fall or spring (or without global warming) this would be an excellent choice!

The key received was opening another room that was not at level of required service (no toilets, no bathroom). But indeed at the end the mistake was corrected and our room had the requested level of service.

The hotel itself is like a postcard of Switzerland. Traditional wood building. Big wooden floorboards, wooden walls in the bedroom. The room was like a movie set. I’ve given the 5 star review for the whole experience. I’m not comparing it to a Dubai 5 star but the whole thing was excellent. 5 minute walk to the train station or regular busses at the front door. Not only to take you into Lucerne but anywhere really. Public transport even took us to the top of mount Rigi. The hotel has a private area on the lake with sun beds and paddle boats. The whole area is kept clean. Breakfast was very nice. We got the room with the shared bathroom facilities which was never a problem. There are bathrooms on all floors if your floor is occupied but that happened once. If there was something I would recommend they improve it would be these facilities as they are a bit old and worn looking. We will definitely be back. Much cheaper than lesser hotels in Lucerne itself and very easy to access with public transport.
