Brilliant stay, stayed 4 nights with my family. Location isn’t bad as train station 2-3 mins walking distance, and the free voucher to travel to Luzern station was very handy. Room was great, very clean, service brilliant. They have thought of most things with usb charging port, able to request certain items like toothbrush, hotel also had microwave in the lounge area which was very helpful. Staff were amazing, very helpful, always ready to help and offer advices when asked esp for travelling around. Breakfast again was of very good standards. Honest can’t fault anything during our stay and defenitely recommend it. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Modern & Comfortable Hotel

I found the room to be spacious, clean and comfortable. The hotel is very modern and ia 5 minute walk (if that) to the train stop. If I remember correctly Kriens is only 2/3 stops away from Lucerne which I think is a fantastic town. The offer the usual continental breakfast which I found to be fresh each day. Overall I had a really comfortable stay.

The hotel is EXCELLENT, staff is very nice, breakfast is great. Parking is a little costly at 25/day. But what is very HORRIBLE is internet, so slow can't do anything. 2 Mbps average, when other hotels have 50-100 Mbps and at home I have 300 Mbps. Not even possible to do a zoom meeting, some web pages don't even open. Please UPGRADE your internet!

El hotel es un edificio nuevo, por lo cual es más facil que luzca la limpieza y brille su apariencia. Está en un centrito comercial pequeño, donde todo es nuevo como el hotel. Su déficit aparente es que está lejos del centro de Lucerna. Pero es solo aparente porque el hotel te da un pase libre para todos los huéspedes, válido por el periodo de la estadía. A su vez el hotel esta a una cuadra de la estación del tren. El tiempo de demora entre tren y tren va de 1 a 7 minutos y una vez dentro del tren este llega an centro en unos 5'. La ubicación se convierte asi en una ventaja porque por un precio parecido al de un vetusto hotel céntrico puedes alojarte en éste, que es más confortable y tiene los mismos servicios. No tiene heladera, pero en la recepción te dan un box de hielo que te dura toda la noche.
