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!

Unbeatable location next to Lucerne Station and Tourist Office.We had a Junior Suite (419) which was large but rather tired with many stains on the carpet and poorly lit - no ceiling lights and only 2 free standing lamps in seating and cupboards area. Newly refurbished bathroom with excellent lighting and good bath/shower together with 2 sinks. Pretty poor breakfast for CHF25 with consistently overcooked scramble eggs.

The exterior and interior decor is classy. The proximity to the train station and waterfront is perfect for visitors. The breakfast buffet was outstanding. ORANGE JUICE was the best I have ever had! Please send praise and compliments to Natasha and Angela who service the breakfast buffet. Smiles, friendly service means so much to us as travelers. Merci and Danke!

There was 8 off us in our group with 4 rooms. A couple of the rooms seemed a little more updated but they were all fine. Our blind did not work in our room but not a big issue. The breakfast buffet offered hot and cold choices. It was very good!! The location right next to the train station was perfect and the main area of town was an easy walk! If we come back to Lucerne we will stay there I again.

Fantastic hotel near town and the staff was great. Starbucks downstairs was terrific! Our room was also very comfortable but a bit dirty. Stains in the carpet and furniture. There were also old slippers under the bed. We also had to request new towels because housekeeping didn’t tidy our room. We will be back one day though.

Good w/Signs of Better

Check-in and auto parking with guest reception went very well. Location of hotel convenient to train station, lake tour boats, and old town historic district. Many restaurant options. Hotel was clean but dated. Could see updates in other rooms on our floor either done or being done so this is a good sign. The un-renovated room we had showed its age. Assuming this continues, I would have no issue staying at this property again.
