Excellent location, right in the heart of old town. Only challenge was that we happened to pick a time when Lucerne was having a heat wave and the room we had was hot and there’s no air conditioning. They did have at least one working fan but it was still very hot

We stayed at the roof room which was very hot during night. We are not able to sleep. In the morning around 5:30 am loadin unloading voices of trucks started. The bed also very old and very noisy. In summer this roof room should not be sold to visitors.

Location was ideal and I was glad that I saw that check-in is at Hotel Krone, not far down the road. We stayed in the Egyptian room, another flight up stairs from the elevator, manageable for us but something to consider with heavy luggage if you want this room. A tower fan was available as well as a mini-fridge.

We had a fantastic stay at Altstadt Magic in Luzern. The hotel is right in the heart of old town and less than a 10 minute walk to anything you would want to see. The staff were all friendly and helpful especially Ekaterina who helped us to get our lost luggage from the airline. She was very communicative throughout the process. The room itself had a balcony with a breathtaking view of the surrounding mountains

The Symphony room was close to restaurants, the river, shopping, etc. Unfortunately the room is above a restaurant so it frequently smelled of onions. Lack of air con means opening the window allowing the staff smoking area air to waft in. Beds were fine. Room did have refrigerator. No other amenities.

Great location

Absolutely great location Only downfall is that you have to checkin and out 120 metres away at the Krone hotel.no phone to call reception you have to communicate through WhatsApp. Room got very hot but you can’t even control temperature, as it’s regulated. Also no English subtitles on tv , that’s regulated too . Otherwise great location .Every room has a theme which is a great idea. Staff were friendly
