Very nice in Old Town
Excellent location less in Old Town. Only about 10-15 minute walk from the train station. Very close to shopping and restaurants. The entire town is very walkable. Breakfast was typical European and quite good. Room was clean. Front desk staff were very friendly and helpful with suggestions. Would definitely stay again.

Decent accommodation in old town
Hotel was fine. Front desk clerk was very friendly. Room was also fine - comfortable bed and clean. Good location in the old town and easy walk to the train station. The “problem” with the hotel is it was quite hot (thermostat seems to have been for decoration only) and nothing soft to absorb sound, so if someone came in late you heard them.

Just OK.
The hotel is in a great location for touring Lucerne and the old town. Three of the four front desk staff were amazing to deal with but one was somewhat crusty and not very friendly. The room was quite dark…we needed to use our phone flashlight to see the coffee maker. Bathroom shower had mold along the edges. The room definitely needed a refresh of paint etc. The hallways made us feel like we were staying in a hostel or a college dorm. Better colours and a few paintings would help make it more inviting.
Really dark
College dorm hallway.

Central location so very noisy. There does not seem to be air con so can get hot but if you leave window open it is very noisy. One night they seemed to be servicing the lift at around 5.30am in the morning which sounded like loud crashes. Would not stay here unless you can sleep through loud noises.
