Solid hotel in great location
This is a very good hotel I have stayed in twice. It is clean, super easy to get to from the train station, has an excellent restaurant and satisfactory service. It is 3 star and that is fair. It's not exceptional but is certainly worth what you pay for. All the rooms are updated and everything works properly. The internet connection is very slow, but that is normal in small, resort hotels like this. I will stay there again.

Time-saving tip:
In Hotel
Be sure an go around to the back entrance (one street over) if you are walking with your bags from the train station. If not, you will be fumbling with your bags through the restaurant. The actual entrance is on one street back from the waterfront in an area you will think is an alleyway (it's not) and there is a big wooden door marked with the hotel name. This is where you want to enter to check in.

Great Location
The Hotel Des'Alpes on the riverfront in Luzern is right in the heart of the city. You can easily walk to the train station, the famous covered bridges, the lake, and several charming resturaunts. Furthermore you get the charm of not only a great location, but also breakfast on the balcony overlooking the river, an old elevator, big windows that open out without screens, and a down comforter. It was unusally hot when we were there, and the hotel is not air-conditioned but they did provide a fan in the room. At night we had to leave our windows open and the clamour of late night beer garden patrons followed by early morning church bells and trucks setting-up for Saturday morning markets made for less than ideal sleep. Nonetheless, I would stay there again for its distinct European flavor and great location in one of Switzerland's most picturesque cities.

Shopping tip:
Short walk from hotel
On summer Saturdays visit open-air markets. Directly in front of the hotel a farmer's market sells fresh meat, flowers, cheese and produce. A few blocks into the city artists and craftspeople sell their wares. Across the river, and slightly downriver is a flea market with everything from Elvis records to Swiss cow bells.

Problems
Though this hotel had a great location and view, it was a poor value compared to other places that we stayed in Switzerland. The price was much higher than others and we had a shower that could not be regulated. When we thought we had the water regulated to the correct temperature, it would suddenly become so hot that it almost burned the skin and it was necessary to immediately get out of the way. A few seconds later, it would turn very cold. The television was extremely small and located high on the wall. Though we do not watch much television on a pleasure trip, we sometimes use it for a while after a tiring day of traveling, walking, tc.

The wooden bridge is a wonderful piece of history as well an attractive addition to the city. The Jesuit church across from the hotel is absolutely incredable and a must see.

Great location
The Hotel des Alpes is immediately across a short bridge from the train station, situated directly on the river. The views from the river side are fantastic. Its location, in the old town section, is perfect. Service was very good. They have a computer with internet access, available for 15 minutes at a time for free, and with slight charges for more time, as well as wireless access for a reasonable fee. So you can stay connected to the outside world while enjoying the buildings and sights of old Lucerne. Many excellent restaurants within easy walking distance.
