Great room. Two big windows and plenty of space to open our suitcases. The bathroom was spacious and modern. Very helpful staff. They arranged dinner reservations, gave us tea while we waited for the room to be ready, had apples for guests to take, and made us feel so welcome. Location is excellent! So easy to get around. Steps away from underground shopping, trains, boats, and beautiful scenery!
Walked out of the train station (Luzern BH) and there is was!
View from our 5th floor window. The Alps!
Coming up from the underground shopping area. Easy to cross busy streets down there!

Property is very outdated, carpets in the room were so dirty, couldn’t take shoes off. You could ask for slippers at the front desk though. But the bedding and bathroom were clean. There was some event happening during our stay, so it was impossible to sleep at night. In the morning there was garbage all over around the property. I would not stay again.

Great location. Right across the street from trains and buses. Staff was very nice and attentive upon check in. They even upgraded us without asking which was a nice and very welcome surprise. They were great to give directions and recommendations. We stored our luggage there the day we checked out and continued to explore Lucerne. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

We picked this hotel for its convenience to the train station and the included breakfast. It turned out to be so much more. The walkability to old town was perfect. Everything was so close. We opted for the Zimmerman suite to get extra room and it did not disappoint. Very clean and helpful staff as well. Our room was so quiet, we never heard a peep. We based our Switzerland travelog of Lucerne and stayed for 7 nights. Loved it!!

Was incredibly easy to access from the train station. The area around the hotel was full of shops and sights that were easily walkable. The hotel is attached to a McDonald’s and Star bucks that were convenient for late night/ early morning snacks. There was also a nightclub at the top of the hotel if you’re into that type of thing, but it did not bother me sound wise even though I was the floor below.

Great hotel during the day. Dont stay the weekend

The room was very nice and the staff was extremely friendly. The location was however a double edged sword. The hotel was adjacent to the main train station in Lucerne. You could literally walk 20 meters to the escalator to the station and have access to all of the fast food stalls as well as the bakery’s and the Coop convenience store. The downside was that there is constant noise from the buses, trams, and pedestrians. The biggest negative for us was the loud partying outside the hotel on the weekend. Our stay was from Wednesday night through Sunday. We had room 614 (the highest floor). Friday night we were awaked off and on by yelling and partying. Saturday night however we were hardly able to sleep due to the constant loud voices that finally ended around 5:30am. As we left Sunday morning we literally drug our suitcases through a layer of trash and cigarette butts an inch deep outside of the Roadhouse bar next door to the hotel. We really liked the hotel on Wednesday and Thursday but we wished we had stayed somewhere else over the weekend. If we find ourselves in Lucerne again we would look for another hotel.
