This is a comfortable hotel in the old town close to dining options and shopping. Staff were very helpful and compared to other accommodation options in Lucerne it was good value with breakfast included. The only negative was the internet did not work for either of us during our stay.

Location close to town & a nice facility. We were surprised by the large size of our room (slept 4) and that it had a terrace overlooking the river. Comfortable mattress, strong water pressure and nice breakfast included. Highly recommend!

Great location
Good location. Walking distance to major attractions. By the river. The receptionist was amazing and clearly outlined the walking tour area in a map provided by them. Breakfast was scrumptious and had multiple options. Room was cute.No AC but there was a ceiling fan. comfortable beds. Next to gastronomic center. Close to the train station and ferry station. The bus stop is close by and worth taking to the station, especially if you have luggage. Overall, very pleased with the hotel.

This property is great. The breakfast was fantastic & is included. We were there in the heat of August though. There is no air conditioning so it was a bit uncomfortable. We were on the backside without a view. This may or may not have been good without any sun or breeze off the river. It is a 20 minute walk to the lake to go swimming.Location is quit and not in the heart of the noice. City is beautiful.

Great stay close to all the sights
Absolutely loved this hotel. Really good location, walking distance from the main sights. A bit far from the station if you have a lot of luggage but there's a convenient bus.the room we stayed at was absolutely perfect for our family of 4, super spacious with separate rooms for the kids! Very clean. Good breakfast and service overall.
