City hotel, i expect the drunks, the inconsiderate drivers revving engines and the refuse trucks, but…In a quiet side road, unfortunately taxi drivers and food delivery bikes park outside for their next job and loudly talk across the road to each other. Fixed using earplugs. But what cannot be fixed is the club/pub on ground floor, noisy barstools constantly scraping across a hard floor, then at 3:30am the place is cleared, cleaned and tidied for 30 minutes and impossible to sleep.

The hotel bldg is a bit dated. You can hear the people chatting in the street until early morning. Footsteps from the upper floors are annoying specially past midnight. The good thing about this hotel is must the location.

Bar/club Downstairs could hear everything. This was despite being on one of the top floors. Paper thin walls between rooms, could hear everything from the neighbours. Great location but not worth staying there due to all the other faults.

Great hotel and location right next to the train station. The only downside was that they weren't staffed over the winter so we had to check in at a different hotel, but it wasn't a big inconvenience.

Dated hotel and rooms need TLC, but great value for price and location. Check in is at a nearby hotel, but very friendly staff. Very close to Lucerne Station. Only concern is there are bars down below and people hung out on the street and got so loud until 2AM on the weekdays and 4AM on a Saturday we were there, hence there was earplugs provided in the room.

You have to walk to the Monopol sister property reception depending on the time of arrival/to resolve some issue. No AC in some rooms ; they told me they are not required to provide it because it’s a 3 star. I booked thru Expedia, who said there was AC. I was charged extra for an additional bed, which was more like a stretcher.
