What guests think

At Hotel De la Paix, reviewers consistently praise the very central, walkable location and generally friendly, helpful staff, while noting the older, basic setup with limited amenities, notably no in room air conditioning that can be challenging in hot weather.

Rooms range from small to spacious, with some balconies and views, but recurring remarks mention creaky floors, street noise in certain rooms, and mixed comfort with firm beds or flat pillows. Breakfast is widely appreciated as good to very good continental fare, though a few guests found the selection limited or repetitive. Facilities are simple; off site paid parking is available with hotel assistance, and several reviews note 24 hour lobby coffee or luggage storage. Expect a centrally based, mostly straightforward stay suited to sightseeing over extensive amenities.

Great hotel. A little tricky checking in late at night and tricky with parking but we got it worked out. The hotel had an off-site parking option.

The location of the property is great and the price is reasonable. Parking on the street is easy and safe, and the staff at reception will help you get a digital day pass for it. The greatest downside, if you are travelling in summer, is the lack of AC. They provide a fan which is not enough. The rooms get very hot and the air unbreathable. Because the other buildings are pretty close, if you leave the windows open during the night so the air can circulate, you are left with no privacy.

Great price - location. Hotel is clean but has no AC (only has in room). We were fortunate our room opened onto balcony. Staff were great at explaining everything. Would not stay again in the middle of summer.

The room was good, there were nice lighting options including a small night-light lamp that had charging portals! We like charging portals when traveling! The room had a long desk where one could eat or write. I was thrilled to find a bathtub! These are a rarity in Europe and so much needed after 2 1/2 weeks of train travel and lugging our bags across Italy and Switzerland! Our aching muscles were delighted. The female front desk staffer was very friendly and helpful. There is 24 hour free coffee/ tea in the lobby.

Positives first. Great location, easily walkable from train station. I had very little interaction with hotel staff but check in was smooth and efficient. Appreciated the continental breakfast. They had all day free coffee and an ice machine, which I greatly enjoyed. Now the negatives. The bed was as hard as an ironing board and the pillows was so mushy they were useless. There was no air conditioning, which for majority of the year I’m sure is fine but in mid July I was extremely hot. They did provide a fan but it was quite useless. Sleeping proved to be very difficult. So for that reason I would NOT stay at this hotel again.

Hotel de la Paix is a lovely hotel. The building is old but it is well kept and modernized. The beds are comfortable as are the pillows. Breakfast is a plentiful buffet with great coffee of your choice. The elevator is small but fits two people with 4 suitcases pretty easily. It is located right on the edge of the old town and it's very easy walking to all areas. You can also get free use of the city's tram system which is extensive. The hotel has an arrangement with an indoor parking lot where you can park for 25 CHF per day. It is safe and clean and just around the corner from the hotel. The hotel will include the cost of the garage on your bill and validate the garage ticket so you don't have to pay at the garage. It was very easy. The garage is attached to the Coop supermarket which is a great place to buy sandwiches to go, or have lunch or dinner in their restaurant. The food is much cheaper than many local restaurants and very good. Lucerne is a beautiful city. Enjoy!

Room was spacious, clean, and well decorated. Breakfast was great. Parking is in shopping center down the street. We stayed during the heat wave and humidity. A fan was in the room. It was rather hot in the room, even with the fan on. We opened all the patio doors (our room had three). It cooled off by the time we went to bed, but we closed them and it got quite miserable again in the night, so we opened the doors again and slept with the doors open. If you are staying in the summer heat, and you don't like to sleep with windows/patio doors open, or you don't sleep well with outside noise, you might not do well here. I would have no problem staying again, especially outside the summer heat timeframe.

Clean, good staff. Block or so from bus stop to rail and bus station. Station walkable but may want to take the bus with luggage. Bus every few minutes, Hotel only a couple of blocks to lake. Small shopping mall very close. No AC which is a common issue in Swiss hotels. Breakfast good but no hot food items. Location busy so good bit of traffic and street noise when you have to leave windows open due to heat. Would stay there again

Hotel de la Paix was in a great location. The front desk staff was very helpful in recommending places to go and how to get there. I had a single room with a twin bed and a bathroom with a toilet and shower. It was quiet as it was on the courtyard side. The room was quite small so I had to put my luggage on the luggage rack behind the door. So I couldn't fully open the door to the room or the bathroom. Other than that slight inconvenience, everything was great!

We were given a second floor room with a balcony. The view and light is great. The beds were very comfy and the continental breakfast was very filling- lots of varieties. If I ever go back to Luzern I would stay there again

First some positives: the location is excellent. Take bus from the train station, and it stops right next to hotel in 10 minutes. It’s in middle of the city , so lot of dinning and shopping options Room size was good . We stayed 3 people. Bed and pillows: pillows were terrible. We requested second pillow for each of us, and still with two pillows it wasn’t good enough Air conditioning: be ready that this hotel doesn’t has any air conditioner in the room. We stayed in the month of August for 4 nights and temperature in the night was around 65-70F. They provide one 14” small table fan which may be good for one sofa bed next to it . We requested second fan, and it was denied. The solution hotel staff gave to get some cooling during night time is to open balcony doors (2 of them ) which let mosquitoes and road noise throughout the night.. overall all 4 nights were restless Breakfast: we paid for daily breakfast. It was mid. No scrambled eggs. Only boil eggs, 2 juices, some type of breads etc. same menu all 4 days .. it was Mid. So have high hopes on breakfast, even when it wasn’t complementary but paid. All in all, avoid this hotel.

This is an old building so yes, there will be creaky floors and ‘ambiance’ that some may not appreciate. We found the front desk staff to be very friendly and helpful. The view from our room (552) was out over the street towards Lake Lucerne. We had 3 windows, 2 of which were French doors opening into balconies. Easy walk to bakeries, local cheese shop, grocery, and many ‘best of Lucerne’ sites. Bus to the main train station was super easy.
