The Bed and Breakfast is top rate in our book in every imaginable way!! Isabelle and her staff run the Best B&B ever! Location (quiet, safe, and pretty.). Rooms are roomy and shared bathrooms are no problem since there are so many! Breakfast is delicious and the coffee/tea service 24/7 is great. Thanks for a memorable stay!!

Staff was friendly. Downside - breakfast was pricey for what was offered. We were given a bus pass for the 2 days that we stayed making transportation a breeze. Buses arrived on time and very often.

Overall great place to stay. The staff is very helpful and kind. Our only complaint was the temperature. It was a rather warm few days when we stayed and the air conditioner in our attic room struggled to get the room to a tolerable temperature overnight. The staff did get us a small fan to use the next day which was very helpful, though.

Very quaint B&B in a lovely quiet neighborhood. It had plenty of bathrooms to choose from and never had to wait for one. Barb and Gianna were very helpful, 1st time we walked to the B&B, but then we used Bus # 1

This is a terrific place to stay in Lucerne for everything you need. It is charming and simple. The yard and tables outside are lovely and relaxing. The staff is terrific and helpful. We did not think to bring our own shampoo for the shared bath. Only soap is provided, so be more prepared that we were. Absolutely wonderful with all we needed. A smart choice.

We really enjoyed our stay at The Bed and Breakfast in Lucerne. It was in a nice quiet area yet easy to reach other locations such as Old Town. The bus stop is close by but we often walked along back streets to get to the Old Town, boat docks and train station. The host, Isabelle is lovely and very helpful. There was a great variety for the breakfast each morning. We highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay here again if we return to Lucerne.

The staff is very friendly and helpful. The location is very close to a bus station. The bus operates frequently to various locations. On top of this, the hotel provides free bus pass. The pass is available (by email) even before our arrival. As a result, we can go to the hotel by bus at zero cost.

We knew we would be in the attic room so stairs did not bother us. A light or nightlight at the top of the stairs would make it a lot safer. Breakfast was wonderful and the staff accommodated an early morning departure with breakfast laid out!

Big room with ensuite and a/c

Great room at the top so watch your head. Only one with a/c and en-suite bathroom although down a flight of stairs. Definitely worth it. Good breakfast. The property is about 20 mins walk from Lucerne centre
