We picked this hotel for its convenience to the train station and the included breakfast. It turned out to be so much more. The walkability to old town was perfect. Everything was so close. We opted for the Zimmerman suite to get extra room and it did not disappoint. Very clean and helpful staff as well. Our room was so quiet, we never heard a peep. We based our Switzerland travelog of Lucerne and stayed for 7 nights. Loved it!!

Was incredibly easy to access from the train station. The area around the hotel was full of shops and sights that were easily walkable. The hotel is attached to a McDonald’s and Star bucks that were convenient for late night/ early morning snacks. There was also a nightclub at the top of the hotel if you’re into that type of thing, but it did not bother me sound wise even though I was the floor below.

Great hotel during the day. Dont stay the weekend

The room was very nice and the staff was extremely friendly. The location was however a double edged sword. The hotel was adjacent to the main train station in Lucerne. You could literally walk 20 meters to the escalator to the station and have access to all of the fast food stalls as well as the bakery’s and the Coop convenience store. The downside was that there is constant noise from the buses, trams, and pedestrians. The biggest negative for us was the loud partying outside the hotel on the weekend. Our stay was from Wednesday night through Sunday. We had room 614 (the highest floor). Friday night we were awaked off and on by yelling and partying. Saturday night however we were hardly able to sleep due to the constant loud voices that finally ended around 5:30am. As we left Sunday morning we literally drug our suitcases through a layer of trash and cigarette butts an inch deep outside of the Roadhouse bar next door to the hotel. We really liked the hotel on Wednesday and Thursday but we wished we had stayed somewhere else over the weekend. If we find ourselves in Lucerne again we would look for another hotel.

We have always stayed at Monopol when we go to Lucerne. The proximity to the train and the lake is superb. The reception staff were very personable. Even though I always consider Lucerne hotels to be quite expensive, I got a same day deal that pleased me. And the AC during this heat wave was needed and excellent!
