Good location, would stay again.

Room was clean and comfortable but note on patio door above the instructions to operate the door, said not to use and apologising for broken window?!?! Disappointing as liked to have sat on the balcony! Breakfast was reasonable but only one hot drinks machine so there was always a queue.

This hotel is convenient, easily accessible, and the rooms are spacious and clean Although I can’t fault the hotel itself we stayed here in extremely hot weather and there is no air conditioning. The room was like a sauna until 2am even with windows open and it was a real struggle to sleep. I wouldn’t stay again because of the lack of AC and I would not recommend booking this hotel in the summer months

Very nice, safe and newly renovated hotel in the middle of farm lands. Clean, modern, nice bed, amazing balcony and views with farms, cows and mountains. We’ve stayed in a superior room with bigger bed, ample space, awesome window blinds and a kitchenette. Very welcoming and helpful staff and free parking. Highly recommended!

Call me old school but I prefer to be greeted by a receptionist when I check in. Still, our room was quiet and roomy and the reception on call were quick to assist us. When the breakfast room remodel is done that should be nice, too. Our breakfast at the hotel de Paix was a little sub par but free. The hallways had the same cluster of leaves on the floor for the 3 days we were there. The price was affordable for expensive Switzerland.

The hotel is located about a 15 minute walk from the main train station. You cross the bridge and then access it through some small pedestrianised streets which have lots of cafes and shops. The hotel itself is on a busy street and the entrance isn’t all that attractive. The hotel emailed me the Luzern Visitors card the morning I was due to check-in. This allowed you some discounts and access to transport. I used the self-check in which was very efficient. There are a small number of lockers at the entrance where you can leave your luggage if your room isn’t available. My room was fine with a comfortable bed and a large bathroom. However there were no coffee or tea making facilities which I like to have when I stay for more than one night. Tap water was left in a decanter for your use. There was a safe and a small fridge in the room. I would stay in this hotel again due to it’s location. I also thinks it’s good value for money for Lucerne.

The 2 nights stay was okay. Unfortunately there’s no ventilation in the bathroom, esp when shaving, which would’ve been convenient. Although our stay was short, our last day the room was too hot; however, good &/or satisfactory with everything else.
