Guest reviews
Fabulous
Great location
Liked: Quick check in. Good size clean rooms at a good location. Room 25 was front facing so alot of noise early hours of the morning from outside.
High Hopes, Mixed Reality
Liked: While the location is excellent—a short 15-minute walk from the Bahnoff and perfectly situated in the old town—our stay was largely disappointing, especially considering the mandatory €5 resort tax per person per day. It's unclear what this significant fee covers, as the hotel is in sore need of comprehensive renovation. The Positives: Wonderful Staff: The hotel employees were truly lovely and accommodating. Heated Floors: A welcome feature in our room. Location: Excellent access to Lucerne's center. Bedding: The two separate quilts were a practical setup for co-sleeping. The Areas Needing Improvement: Facilities: The hotel feels dated. The elevator is extremely small, accommodating maybe one or two people plus two cases, necessitating multiple slow trips up and down. The Room: Our room had a noticeable musty, old smell. We observed many cracks in the floorboards and bathroom tiles, and the use of shower curtains felt very old-fashioned. The generic soap/shampoo dispenser had an unpleasant scent. Amenities: Only paper cups were provided. The room had a coffee machine but no kettle, and only a single wine glass. Pricing: Lucerne itself is prohibitively expensive. Staying three nights was our limit, as the overall cost is astronomical. Overall: While the staff and location are great, the dated condition of the hotel does not justify the mandatory resort tax or the high room rate.
Location can't be beat
Liked: This location is in the heart of Old Town in front of a beautiful square and so much shopping and restaurants. The hotel is quiet and very clean.
Decent
Liked: This hotel is a nice distance from the train station, and close to all amenities. The rooms are small, but clean and functional. We misheard the staff that checked us in and thought we were told breakfast was included...but it was not and we ended up having to pay 90 francs when we checked out...good lawd....its not worth it! Also the building next to us and across from us was under construction but they started and ended work at decent times so that wasn't an issue.
Liked: Beautiful hotel! Close to shopping, restaurants and historic sights. We loved it!
Liked: Because there was no air conditioning, we had to open windows (it does cool off nicely at night) and leave drapes open. Room was facing the square and a huge construction project was going on next door. If we managed to fall asleep over the noise of the small room fan provided by the hotel, we were awakened in the very early morning by the incredible noise of hammering, trucks, cranes, delivery vehicles—you get the picture. This started at 6 am. Probably got a very light 6 hours of sleep in two nights. Room was huge, had an extra twin bed? Okay bathroom. Front desk staff efficient. Couldn’t wait to check out and get a good nights sleep anywhere else. PS: I always check for elevators and AC when I book hotels overseas. I like the small boutique hotels for their charm and character. I might have missed the lack of air but... This hotel also lacked charm and character. Ver, very disappointing.
