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.

Isabella was extremely pleasant and considerate. She noticed it was birthday and made me feel special. Great location, just outside the crowds!
Ann, 2-night trip

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.

Beautiful Stay

Such a wonderful location! Great view, great walkability, very nice stay. The rooms were a little outdated and small, but comfortable. Breakfast was okay. Limited options but all was done well. Would recommend.

The front desk attendant was so friendly and helpful. The room was clean and had everything we needed for our one-night stay. The breakfast buffet was excellent. Great location. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wish it could have been longer! I will definitely be back!
Lisa, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A lovely hotel staffed by helpful people. I loved seeing the river nd the Alps from my sunny balcony. 10 minutes walk to anywhere I wanted to go.
Janet C, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Kind staff, comfortable room, cleaned every day.
David, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Staff were all great to us. Our room was large with higher ceilings and a powerful fan. The bathroom was spacious with great water pressure in the shower. The only drawback is that there's no AC. We were in Lucerne in mid 80's, and the room stayed fairly cool during the day. Adding simple AC units would be a big bonus. The buffet style breakfast was excellent, coffee, juice, eggs, meats, cheeses, fruit, sausage, oatmeal, yogurt etc..., and will save you lots of money from the pricey breakfast and lunch options around town. The hotel is located on the river, and walking distance to everything. We enjoyed our stay.
