Such a wonderful location! Great view, great walkability, very nice stay. The rooms were a little outdated and small, but comfortable. Breakfast was okay. Limited options but all was done well. Would recommend.

Very clean, walking distances to most of the attractions, staff are very friendly and helpful!! If I have to say one thing I am not crazy about it, it’s the cover of the duvet, the wrinkled patterns of the cover makes me feel a little itchy at the beginning, but my skin is very sensitive, could be just my issue.

Nice boutique hotel.

Nice boutique hotel with a decent breakfast. Room as comfortable and reasonably spacious by central European standards. Is on the river with good views from most rooms. Access by car is nit easy due to pedestrian only streets necessitate doing a U turn to get back out. Parking is a 3 block walk, across the river. So if you have luggage you will want to unload at the hotel (parked on the side of street with hazards on) before parking. Getting to the parking is tricky if you miss the turn into the garage (you need to go down a short Street down the west side of the building).

Good place to stay in Lucerne

We were thankful for the easy instructions on getting to our room after the reception desk closed. Huge must if your train runs late! The kitchen was in repair, so there was no breakfast, but croissants were delivered to our door each morning. Having the balcony over the river was lovely, and it was in a quiet enough area that there was no noise other than the sound of water at night. The bathroom was a little small and challenging to hold our essentials. The bed was ok, but not super comfortable. Loved the location and ease of walking from the train station.

Super, affordable choice in Lucerne

Staff was excellent. Front desk was welcoming and when we asked where to buy a plug converter they loaned us a couple for three days. The buffet breakfast was tasty and the staff was always around filling things up, tidying etc. Room was clean with a nice balcony and a view of the river, bridges, mountains.
From balcony at sunset looking halfway to right.
From balcony looking half left, in the morning wth fog.
From balcony looking half left zoomed in on a different day when mountains were visible.

Wonderful location and very nice and helpful staff. Room was well appointed. Breakfast was very good and varied. I highly recommend this hotel when staying in Lucerne. Location provided quiet room but old town shops nearby as are bridges across the river. This hotel is a gem!
