We loved it at this place. The breakfast was superb. We never ate there for dinner, but a lot of people seemed to enjoy it. The atmosphere is cute and the beds comfy. The shower was also phenomenal. They also provided a loaner backpack to take while you went exploring.

Loved the decor and design at this hotel! The bar area is particularly lovely and serves great food. Breakfast had a variety of options to enjoy. Staff were so helpful and friendly. Excellent location- 10 mins tops to the riverside, same again for the station. Area around the hotel is busy but felt safe. Room was nice/stylishly done, but did have an ‘open’ set up to the bathroom, which when sharing may or may not be an issue? Something to bear in mind. All in all, a great stay!

Retiring in Lucerne

The hotel has such an amazing vibe and is in a really great location. The service was incredible. Every single person who worked there was super friendly and very helpful. My only issue is that the pillows on the bed were extremely uncomfortable and it was really hot so I had a hard time sleeping. But couldn’t say better things about the location, staff and cleanliness.

Great location, fabulous staff and wonderful breakfast. I also loved the balcony and coffee machine with the room. Negative was that the room was really warm and the traffic noise meant it was not ideal to have the doors open.

No A/C in the building. It was probably okay before. For me, it was a bit painful as I stayed while the temp reached to 35 Celsius degree. Otherwise, I like this property!

It a nice hotel in a very strategic location. Super close to a bus stop and a walking distance the chapel bridge. The reception was very friendly, they made us feel welcome. The room was spacious, though the bathroom is smaller and doesn’t have a tub. Our room was spacious, we were so happy with the size. Though i wish the plcae a bigger carpet, i’m it’ll make the room look even more nicer.

I loved that this property was in a central location to most things. We could walk pretty much everywhere and if we didn’t, we’d hop on the bus with our free bus passes provided by the hotel. The hotel was very clean and the views from the room were absolutely beautiful. We had a perfect view of Mt. Piatus from our window. Breakfast served every morning was fresh and delicious. We didn’t try dinner, but the drinks made were also very good. Overall, this property was super pretty, clean and conveniently located.
