Great location, friendly staff and delicious breakfast. Rooms were a bit smaller than we anticipated and the shower was fairly small. Overall, a very comfortable experience and a perfect short walk to the train station with luggage and all!
Clean room, comfortable bed, very welcoming staff, good breakfast, nice lounge which is open 24hrs where one can get coffee or tea for free, one time free beverage for two, great location.
Perfect location and within walking distance of everywhere. Staff was very friendly, accommodating and offered daily suggestions of where to visit and dine.
Ideal location - the hotel is a 5 min walk from the train station. The hotel is very clean, staff are helpful and breakfast is excellent. Highly recommend

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Check was easy and staff was super helpful. Room was clean but small. Breakfast was good.
Beautiful hotel room and dining room. Staff were so friendly and helpful. The breakfast bar was top notch. Grateful for the tea & coffee machine and dining area that was open 24-7.
Very nice B&B; helpful staff; provide space for guests to bring in and consume their own food, and a fridge for storage (this is a great idea, particularly in an expensive city like Lucerne!)
Great hotel close to train station but not in a seedy area you often find around rail stations. Clean. Helpful staff. Good breakfast. Restaurant next door (not affiliated with hotel) is excellent.
We loved our room. We had a spacious corner room. It was clean and well taken care of. We also loved location. Close to the train station and easy access to old town.
Fabulous hotel. Only 1 block to train. Chapel bridge 5-minute walk. Laundry 7-minute walk.
Clean, modern hotel. Nice continental breakfast included.
Definitely recommend and would stay here again.
Clean room, great breakfast(no fried foods) lots to pick from. Can use breakfast room throughout the day. Free coffee and tea all day, descent wifi. Would return to this property
