The room was slightly bigger than a prison cell. There was fecal matter on the rim of the toilet. The shower was either hot or cold. It was difficult to get warm water. Worst part, no place to pull up a car to the hotel and check in. You had to find a parking garage and drag your bags to the hotel.

This was the BEST part of our 2 week trip. Excellent location. Walkable to everything! Money exchange right outside the door. Train station steps away. Lake, steps away. Mountains to die for! Shopping, restaurants, churches, attractions all easily withinh walking distance. And so quiet for a big city!!! We loved it and will stay at Hotel Monopol when we return!!!

Our stay was great. We were on the 6th floor. Only negatives I had is that the rooms itself are quite old. The window had a display light pointed right at it and the curtains barely hid the light at night. Most of the room was pretty bright due to this.

Great room. Two big windows and plenty of space to open our suitcases. The bathroom was spacious and modern. Very helpful staff. They arranged dinner reservations, gave us tea while we waited for the room to be ready, had apples for guests to take, and made us feel so welcome. Location is excellent! So easy to get around. Steps away from underground shopping, trains, boats, and beautiful scenery!
Walked out of the train station (Luzern BH) and there is was!
View from our 5th floor window. The Alps!
Coming up from the underground shopping area. Easy to cross busy streets down there!

Property is very outdated, carpets in the room were so dirty, couldn’t take shoes off. You could ask for slippers at the front desk though. But the bedding and bathroom were clean. There was some event happening during our stay, so it was impossible to sleep at night. In the morning there was garbage all over around the property. I would not stay again.

Great location. Right across the street from trains and buses. Staff was very nice and attentive upon check in. They even upgraded us without asking which was a nice and very welcome surprise. They were great to give directions and recommendations. We stored our luggage there the day we checked out and continued to explore Lucerne. I would definitely recommend this hotel.
