Great location. The weather was perfect, however I forgot to notice that there wasn't any air conditioning. Ceiling fans and floor fans did the job plus you could open the windows.

LUIS, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It was a great stay. Hotel desk could not be friendlier or more helpful. Regretfully there was no air conditioning and the weather was above average temperatures. It was a very pleasant stay though!
Sue, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Average Hotel Further Away From Old Town Sites

Staff was friendly and helpful. The room was clean but not air conditioned. The distance to attractions was much further than the minutes shown on Hotels. com listing. For instance, the walking time to Chapel bridge was at least double the time shown on Hotels.com's site. The hotel is in Old Town but at the edge far away from Chapel bridge. The rooms were clean but "tired" with no place to sit except the beds and the desk chair.
Robert H, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel offers great views of the river and mountains. It has parking available and is within easy walking distance of the Lucerne old city area.

This property is a gem. If I’m ever back in Lucerne I would definitely stay here again. Great room size and gorgeous views over the river.
jamie, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location. Breakfast was typical European and was good with good mix. No air conditioning in room and street was noisy with windows open. Very quiet with windows closed.

Amazing Stay

What an amazing view!! The balcony view was so amazing, loved spending the morning watching the town wake up with such an extraordinary view. Breakfast was great and the staff was amazing. Upon check in they explained the city and self guided tour (no need for an organized tour in this town!). Lucerne was absolutely one of my favorite stops on the trip and this hotel played a big part in that.
