If you book a zimmer suite and they tell you that you have been upgraded to a room with a kitchen, don't take the upgrade! 4 families had booked Zimmer suites (which were very nicely appointed with large bathrooms), but unfortunately for my husband and I we were upgraded to a room with a kitchen (not useful when only staying for 1.5 days). The bathroom required you to walk sideways into the room (as it was tiny) and there was no where to sit in a large expansive room. Overall the hotel is nice and it is in a great location in Lucerne, but be mindful of them promoting room upgrades from the best rooms in the hotel! Very disappointing!

Our room was leaking from the ceiling. When brought to the hotels attention, they set towels under it and apologized. Although staff was friendly, we didn’t have AC and the ceiling was leaking bad. No room change or discount on stay or anything. I found it very unprofessional

Conveniently located just outside the Luzern train station and right next to the chapel brige and boat rides. Attentive staff. We arrived early and staff checked in our bags and room was avaliable earlier than check in time. Will stay again if visiting Luzern.

Centrally located hotel across the stress from central station. Very convenient location. The staff is nice, rooms are clean & breakfast is good. It's bit dated, but that is expected form a historic property. No air conditioning. If you open the widows, the noise form street will not allow for restful night.
