Close to train station, covered bridges, and Old Town, but a bit basic. Front desk personnel were professional and helpful, but the desk and entry are not supervised overnight. One needs a key to enter after hours. Breakfast was plentiful.

Highly recommended hotel in Lucerne.

We found Hotel Central Luzern to be a reasonably priced (relatively speaking) hotel in Lucerne with a lovely breakfast and comfortable rooms. It is very centrally located near the train station and ferry terminal, which was a real benefit not only for walking through the city and visiting other spots on this beautiful lake, but also since we used Lucerne as a hub for day trips to other cities in Switzerland, taking advantage of the excellent train service. Surprisingly quiet, and all the front desk folks were very friendly, helpful and welcoming. The main elevator was not operational during our stay, but a tiny back-up elevator was available and all we needed to transport suitcases to our room and back. Highly recommended.

Don’t bother looking to stay anywhere else than the Hotel Central when visiting Luzern; it’s conveniently situated a short walk from both the station and Old Town. The staff were all delightful and went out of their way to help us enjoy our stay, nothing was too much trouble. The generous and delicious breakfasts were a great start to the day and it was great to be able to enjoy complimentary (good) coffee at any time. The rooms were perfectly comfortable and very clean - all in all our visit to Luzern was made all the better for staying at Hotel Central.

We did a self-planned Christmas Markets tour in 2024. Because we were travelling by train, our first criteria in finding a hotel was to be close to the train station so we would not need to drag our luggage a great distance. This location was perfect. Th hotel was great, staff was extremely attentive, breakfast was very good. Highly recommended.

The hotel was a disappointment. We couldn’t stay for anymore than 1 night. We had paid for 3 nights, and when I asked if they would waive the fee for the remaining 2 night, we were told NO. Despite this, we left the hotel. The room sizes are extremely small, so much so you can’t open your suitcase fully. The walls are paper and can hear the people in the room next door talking and those on the floors above walking, jumping etc. The bed linen was clean, however the pillows were dusty as was the floor. The soles of white hotel slippers (not supplied) went black after about 5 minutes. The bathroom towels were thin, coarse and small. There were no amenities other than soap and toilet tissue. I would recommend you stay at the Monopol if you are after a central hotel with large rooms and great service.
