best stay for our family

A Family Paradise and Culinary Delight: Our Most Satisfied Stay at CHÄRNSMATT! Our recent stay at CHÄRNSMATT Gasthof & Spielparadies in Rothenburg was nothing short of exceptional and easily one of the most satisfying hotel experiences we've ever had, especially as a family. This isn't just a place to sleep; it's a complete destination that truly understands hospitality and creates joy for all ages. From the moment we arrived, the warm and genuinely friendly staff made us feel incredibly welcome. Check-in was smooth, and they were always on hand with a smile, ready to assist with any request, making us feel valued guests rather than just another booking. The atmosphere throughout the Gasthof is one of comfort and genuine care. For families with small kids, the "Spielparadies" (play paradise) would be an absolute game-changer. The extensive outdoor playground, with its unique and beloved Liliput Railway are surely amazing . The indoor play area is also a fantastic bonus, ensuring fun even on a rainy day. This focus on family-friendly amenities truly sets CHÄRNSMATT apart. Beyond the incredible play facilities, the culinary experience was a highlight. The breakfast was one of the best in our entire Europe trip. Especially a lady staff with a very beautiful smile, greeted us with a genuine, warm smile and a cheerful "Good morning!" that instantly brightened our day. Her energy was infectious, and she created such a welcoming and positive atmosphere in the breakfast area.

This is a homey, Bed& Breakfast like property. Basic, clean, next to Denner-grocery store, bus stop on the corner with free pass to Lucerne city. It was the perfect place for us- sort of in the middle to get to Interlaken & Zurich. They have wonderful people that made our stay extra special- Alina, Valerie & Lily. Danke!

Walking in to a bunch of children running around was a little strange. The room was spacious. There was no good way to adjust the temperature of the room so at times it was too hot. Overall my family and I had a good time.

Couldn’t get into the property even though just arrived a bit after sunset, as no details sent to us how to enter as there is nobody at the reception it is self check in kind of hotel and the main entrance locked with a key pad . If a Good Samaritan lady didn’t help us we couldn’t have gotten in the hotel.

One of the best hotels we stayed at during our trip. It’s easily accessible from Luzern station via bus 51 or 52, with the bus stop right outside the hotel. The hotel is well-equipped with amenities for children, including a playroom and a separate diaper-changing area. Both the hotel and the rooms are very clean and well-lit, and my room even had a balcony. While there isn’t a kettle in the room, the staff will happily provide one upon request. A complimentary breakfast is included with your stay, which is a nice perk. The staff was exceptional—they helped store my medicine in their refrigerator, and since I didn’t have phone service, one of the staff members kindly let me use her phone to order dinner. They also lent me plates and cutlery for my meal in the room. Overall, the staff went above and beyond, and it was by far the best experience I’ve had with hotel staff. I would highly recommend staying here!

Very welcoming and helpful staff. Clean and well-kept facilities, nice breakfast offered which is included with the room. Slightly outside of the hustle and bustle of Lucerne, which we enjoyed but you still get the advantage of a free guest transit pass for zone 10 areas, for each night of your stay.

This is an inn, where the restaurant is the main feature. The free parking not far from a freeway is a strength and a weakness (road noise, out of town). The bus into town is regular but not frequent (half-hourly) but is quick and easy. The rooms are dated with no air conditioning but the balconies and views are nice. The staff are pleasant, but can be overworked so you may need to wait if you need them. The included breakfast is strictly continental but the quality is superb. I would recommend staying here if you are planning on using the restaurant as it is the main feature and looks excellent.
