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.

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.
