We loved our stay at this hotel. It does not have AC in the rooms, but they do have fans available for the rooms if needed. The hotel is close to walking to the shores of Lake Lucerne. The hotel bar and restaurant has great food and drinks.

We loved it at this place. The breakfast was superb. We never ate there for dinner, but a lot of people seemed to enjoy it. The atmosphere is cute and the beds comfy. The shower was also phenomenal. They also provided a loaner backpack to take while you went exploring.

Loved the decor and design at this hotel! The bar area is particularly lovely and serves great food. Breakfast had a variety of options to enjoy. Staff were so helpful and friendly. Excellent location- 10 mins tops to the riverside, same again for the station. Area around the hotel is busy but felt safe. Room was nice/stylishly done, but did have an ‘open’ set up to the bathroom, which when sharing may or may not be an issue? Something to bear in mind. All in all, a great stay!

Retiring in Lucerne

The hotel has such an amazing vibe and is in a really great location. The service was incredible. Every single person who worked there was super friendly and very helpful. My only issue is that the pillows on the bed were extremely uncomfortable and it was really hot so I had a hard time sleeping. But couldn’t say better things about the location, staff and cleanliness.

Great location, fabulous staff and wonderful breakfast. I also loved the balcony and coffee machine with the room. Negative was that the room was really warm and the traffic noise meant it was not ideal to have the doors open.

No A/C in the building. It was probably okay before. For me, it was a bit painful as I stayed while the temp reached to 35 Celsius degree. Otherwise, I like this property!
