Good location, but be prepared to walk about 5 minutes from the nearest parking lot (Luzerner Kantonalbank). The elevator is tiny, and can barely fit two people with luggage, but that's due to you staying in a historic building. The views from the
4th floor river-facing room is amazing. The room decor is a bit cheap (plastic chairs, smallest TV), and a modest upgrade would go a long way, but aside of that, overall good experience

The old town of Lucerne is packed with many stores, and since you're already there, all you need is getting out of the hotel and start walking/shopping.

Wonderful staff, great charm, super food
This is a wonderful hotel and the best I have stayed in Switzerland. The number one reason is the staff. They were magnificent. I felt like I was staying with friends. And the restaurant is excellent. On my last day, they had made up a to-go
lunch for me for the train -- fruit, sandwich, water -- and this was complementary. The room was nothing special and the hotel itself is an imperfect, older building. But the service, location, charm and food make up for it and then some. Only downside is no internet in the room, but you can usually pick up the local, free wireless service.

Short walk from hotel
If you stay in Lucerne and you will be taking the train, make sure to stay in one of the hotels just across the water. It's a 15 minute walk at most and a VERY pleasant one!
