    The hotel and especially in our room seemed very dark. Needs brighter lights throughout.

    Staff was great! They answered all our questions. Provided a European adapter as we forgot to bring one. Breakfast was excellent. About a 10 minute walk to the Lucerne train station. And close to lots of restaurants and shopping.

    - Price was a little bit too high - Expensive public parking on the other side of the river

    - Location was perfect - right by the river - Little balcony with a view - Friendly staff - Dog-friendly hotel and staff

    Walls were kind of bare. Some artwork might be nice

    Room and bathroom were a good size and clean. Both hot and cold items for breakfast were fresh and tasty. Location within historic area and right on the river was a bonus. So was balcony.

    Staying in August, where temp was more than 90F and very hot.

    In August it was vey hot and there was NO ac. But Stuff was very helpful, provided us with standing fan. We had the room with balcony, facing the running river in front, was quite nice. Receptionist was very helpful with different tour options, which one was better, less crowded etc. Breakfast was very generous. Hotel walking distance from Bus route 9, in a nice spot in beautiful Lucern. I would stay there again, avoid the August temperature.

    We had a triple facing the backside of the hotel, so there was no street noise. However, the room was cramped and we were only 2 people. There was very little room for luggage.

    Good location, 15 minute walk from the train station. Good breakfast, helpful staff. Quiet and comfortable sleep. No AC, but there were screens on the windows which was a nice touch.

    It’s not a place to stay in super warm weather but if you have a balcony you can leave door open and with the fan it’s bearable.

    Super clean and friendly. Great breakfast and perfectly located. We arrived quite early from an overseas flight and they had the room ready which was fantastic.

    The triple room was at the back side with no view of the river ...hence the money spent felt worth less......might as well could have stayed at a cheaper hotel

    Excellent location ....breakfast spread was elaborate with the fluffiest scrambles eggs and cut fresh fruits .....

    Great location, but not super comfortable place to stay.
    • Leisure trip

    • Stayed 2 nights

    Room was super hot. Even with ceiling fans and a portable fan we got from the front desk, it was barely tolerable. Really hard to sleep when it's that hot and humid in the room. Being from the US, we're used to air conditioning so it was pretty tough for us. With that hot of a room, would have been nice to have had a room fridge to have cold beverages on hand. Also, the douvet is covered in a very pretty white eyelet material, however that material is very itchy/scratchy on the skin. Plain cotton or silk would have been much more comfortable.

    Staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very good. Location was excellent. Room was very clean. Walking distance to all the good stuff, but on a quieter portion of the riverfront.
