The hotel was in a perfect location looking onto Lake Lucerne. I had booked a room with a balcony and when we arrived, we were given a family suite with seperate bedroom and sitting room so two balconies! Everything was spotless. The breakfast was plentiful and we had a delicious steak dinner in the onsite restaurant. The staff were all very helpful and we would defitely return again.

The staff at the Riviera were amazing. We got to the hotel early after our long flight from the states and they got our rooms immediately allowing us to get a much needed nap. The views from the balcony were to die for. The perfect place for a cup of coffee or a glass of wine.

We arrived to the hotel via train & bus with a one-night booking and dinner reservations upon our arrival time. The hotel was closed with lights off and no one in sight. We had to call multiple times to get anyone to answer, and finally, we had someone answer and share that they had an issue with the fire alarm so they had to shut down. When we spoke to someone in town, they told us they shut down every year at this time so it is normal for them to be closed. We booked this hotel months in advance, so they should've known they would be closed and informed us months in advance. We then were stranded in the cold with our two young daughters, both under 5, and the closest available hotel was 2.5 hours away via a private taxi, train and bus. We would've easily found new accommodation months prior if they would've kindly shared that they would be closed at this time of year. I would not recommend this property to anyone given the risk of being stranded without accommodation.

Misleading location if you're not well-versed with Switzerland's geography. Parking spots may get full, then you're on your own. The hotel doesn't care enough to find you a spot (even though they say they provide parking spots). Don't expect anything in the name of service.

Omg such rude staff. Could not ask a question without an attitude. The manager is obnoxious like he’s doing you a favor. Waitress slammed the food on the table saying she was done working for the day. Bathroom and kitchen were left dirty after house keeping and did not make the beds. I was shocked.

Great view of the lake, large and comfortable room, good breakfast. But is it so detrimental to the hotel's financial statement if they have a bootle of water in the room for their guests? A bootle of water guys.

Great view from the balcony.

Arrived at 11pm. I had called ahead to confirm this would be ok. When we arrived there isn’t a reception at the hotel, so wandered round looking for staff. Parking was free, on a side street next to the hotel. The staff were very nice, and let us buy something to drink, but since it was so late, unfortunately there wasn’t any food available. (Our fault for getting lost!) The room was nice and clean, and very spacious. There was a fan in the room, a fridge, with a small freezer compartment, and a coffee pod machine. We slept very well. The view across the lake from the balcony was stunning to wake up to! The breakfast was very nice- buffet style. There wasn’t anyone available for check out, so we just put the key back in the room pigeon hole.

Great view of the lake

We stayed one night here while travelling through Switzerland. We received great service from the nice young lady at the counter. She offered us free parking just outside the hotel. The room was nice with a balcony overlooking the lake. The wifi and shower was good. There was no ceiling fan or laundry facilities as shown in the room listings. The lack of a fan made the room pretty hot as the temperature was about 37 degrees. The restaurant downstairs was closed but we were directed to a bar across the road which served nice pizza. Overall, it was a very nice stay but we did think it was expensive compared to other EU hotels.

Good location - at bus stop, across of boat stop and information office. Room had view of lake and balcony. We didn't use the restaurant but it looked very nice. Very quiet in mid-September. Room very pleasant, bathroom had been redone. No one at desk most of time. We had to seek them out in the restaurant. Information office directed us to a great walk - shuttle (weekends only in the fall) to cable car, cable car to top, 5 mile level walk with beautiful views, rack railway down, boat back.

The staff was great very friendly. The view from the room was like a movie set off the charts. Did I mention the staff was great very warm big smiles thanks for a great stay. It is also a good place to stay as a base camp for day trips to Zurich , lucerne and lichtenstein all are a short drive away. I would stay again in a heart beat.The breakfast was a nice way to start the day.

Great view, place to shower and sleep

This was a nice hotel with very friendly helpful staff. The shower was great, room clean in general (carpets heavily trafficked but clean), and bathroom spotless. Not luxury accommodations, but a comfortable place to return to after a day of sightseeing. Breakfast included was exceptional and again great staff. American friendly (even if not entirely English speaking). Only misrepresentation was parking; nine spots for entire hotel, so if you're out "late" may be on your own for parking. All things considered we'd suggest it to friends or stay again ourselves!

Vacation stop

We loved this hotel - the view was outstanding and the room has all the comforts you need. There are several nice restaurants nearby so you can just relax. The only strange thing is there is no one at the desk when we arrived but that was easily taken care of by using the phone on the front desk. WiFi was sketchy...but hey...we were not there for that. The breakfast was great with a variety of choices.
