The hotel is older and does not have great air conditioning, but they do have floor fans in the room that were on when we arrived. We were on the 5th floor, so it's helpful that they have a lift/elevator. It is small but does the trick with luggage. If a top priority is distance to the train station, this one is a good option.

Hotel Alpina is in a great location very close to Lucerne Main train station. Located in the heritage district, this hotel has character. We stayed for 3 nights. Evenings were a little noisy but that didn't worry us too much. The Las, I'm sorry I cannot remember your name, who was on the front desk was an absolute delight. She was always happy to see us on our return each day from adventuring into the alps. Hotel Alpina became our home away from home. On our second day we requested another fan for our room, and it was replaced immediately. I recommend Hotel Alpina and would certainly stay again.

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
