A good hotel for young families. They have a play area for young children, which our eight year old loved. The family room was nice and spacious. The staff were friendly and helpful. Food was good. Located outside of Lucerne city centre, it is well connected by frequent buses to and from the city. There's an Aldi nearby too.

Do not miss staying here - especially if you have kids! What a cute little inn with the BEST most friendly staff, great breakfast and the best part - the playgrounds for the kids - indoor and outdoors! The train stop into town is literally a 3 min walk away and there’s a grocery store 1 min away which was the cherry on top! Highly recommend booking Chärnsmatt if you’re visiting the Luzern area!

"We had an absolutely fantastic experience here. What really stood out was the exceptional staff—every single person was so kind and helpful, making us feel right at home. It's a very family-friendly place with an amazing mountain view from our room. Plus, it's so convenient! The bus stop to the Lucerne train station is just steps away. For the price, you can't beat the location and service. A truly great place to stay!"

Property entrance is hard to find, GPS according to address on listing was not correct. Entrance from main road had been closed at some point with concrete pillars. Should open this back up. Rooms need updated and air in rooms would be a good improvement. So seems to be over priced considering. Property had what looked to be a older elevator that could be repaired but only stairs available which was shown in post. Seemed to have allot of things for kids that were cute. Restaurant too was nice but the highest priced meal we have had here.

I can't beleive that this property doesn't have an elevator to the third floor. I have solid knee pain, and I had to carry my big suitcase up the stairs. Separately, there is no AC in the room. It was like 85 f outside, and inside it was like 100..

We enjoyed this property. Checking in was easy and they are very friendly. The room was spacious with a balcony. Lots of things for kids there (it didn’t apply to us but if you have kids that are under 10, lots of things). Our only negative was the weather was 91 during day getting down to 78 and no air conditioner. There was a fan but it was hot. So be ready if summer and you’re not use to that. Traveling any other time of year this place is great! The staff are really friendly and helpful. It’s about 15 to 20 min to Lake Lucerne.

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.
