Top Lucerne Hotel Reviews

AMERON Luzern Hotel Flora

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very modern, clean, spacious, and comfortable. We were lucky enough to secure parking right next door, but it was a challenge to find the parking area (and how to get from the parking area to the hotel). Once we figured it out, however, it was very convenient. And we just a stone's throw from Chapel Bridge. I would definitely stay there again."

Hotel Des Balances

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel location is perfect at the old town area. Train station is about a 10-15 mins walk away. We took a cab when we checked in but it’s definitely walkable if you don’t have much baggage. The rooms are of a very decent size and are pretty well maintained too, only thing I can complain is the toilet size as I could only open and close the toilet door halfway without knocking on the toilet bowl."

Hotel Monopol

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location in relation to about everything especially the train station. Very nice property"

Boutique Hotel Anker

10/10 Excellent

"Staff is friendly and helpful, breakfast is delicious, location is convenient, rooms clean, showers amazing, beds comfortable. Could not ask for anything else. Thank you for a great stay for our first time in Switzerland."

Chateau Guetsch

10/10 Excellent

"This is a charming setting if not in the center of the old town. You cannot beat the views. The staff at the front desk were helpful. One even printed out our train tickets and delivered them to us in the bar."

Radisson Blu Hotel, Lucerne

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location near train stations and boat decks!"

Hotel Central Luzern

10/10 Excellent

"Property and room was exceptionally clean and well maintained. The breakfast had perfect selections for everyone and was in a unique room. Location was excellent. Staff were helpful and friendly."

HERMITAGE Lake Lucerne - Beach Club & Lifestyle Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in the panorama suite - truly one of the best rooms we’ve ever stayed in. Views were absolutely incredible, the room is designed immaculately and it had so many amazing features (steam shower, jacuzzi bath, walk in closet). Aside from the room the lobby / bar areas of the hotel are stunning with the same beautiful views of the mountains. The ability to have direct access to the water is great. Getting into the center of the city is very easy via bus. I really hope I get the chance to stay here again."

Hotel Continental Park

8/10 Good

"We were able to book a family room which was a great set up. However, floor one smelled of smoke in the hallways."
