Great location

This is an amazing central location in old Luzerne, perfect for Lake, trains, buses, central to restaurants and walks and with a view of Pilatus. Supermarket near by aswell. However, it can be noisy at night and no air conditioning due to historic building. Good value for money overall. The hotel's location outweighed the negatives.

NO AC!!! Be aware that this hotel has no AC. Typically the town of Lucerne has mild weather but we ended there when it was 90* and without AC it was hard to breathe and sleep. Besides that the hotel is near everything and very convenient to walk around.

Avoid at All Costs – Deceptive Staff, Miserable Stay Hotel Alpina was one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had. The front desk staff outright lies to your face — claiming someone is “inspecting the room” just to avoid letting you in before the 3 PM check-in, even when the room is clearly ready. Zero flexibility, zero hospitality. The room itself? Tiny, claustrophobic, and stifling — there’s no air conditioning, and the space is barely livable. The bathroom is so cramped that two people can’t even brush their teeth at the same time. It’s like staying in a closet. The elevator fits one person with a bag (barely), and the hotel is located on an incredibly noisy street where people yell and fight well into the night. It feels like a total ghetto. Do not be fooled by any photos or reviews — stay far away from this place. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel to anyone, not even for one night.

The hotel is a beautiful old hotel, the rooms were updated with new windows and balcony door....which we needed because the street noise was loud and it was loud very late. There is no air-conditioning so leaving the window and balcony door open for the cool breeze was a must. Bed and pillows were comfy and the location is great for the train and overall sightseeing.We had a good stay.

I liked the cute balconies and that the rooms have been renovated , The location was also good . The room was nice and my only complaint is that the floor was a little sticky . Although the front desk clerk was efficient I thought she could be a little more welcoming . All in all a good stay

City hotel, i expect the drunks, the inconsiderate drivers revving engines and the refuse trucks, but…In a quiet side road, unfortunately taxi drivers and food delivery bikes park outside for their next job and loudly talk across the road to each other. Fixed using earplugs. But what cannot be fixed is the club/pub on ground floor, noisy barstools constantly scraping across a hard floor, then at 3:30am the place is cleared, cleaned and tidied for 30 minutes and impossible to sleep.

Bar/club Downstairs could hear everything. This was despite being on one of the top floors. Paper thin walls between rooms, could hear everything from the neighbours. Great location but not worth staying there due to all the other faults.
