Pathetic is the word for falken
It is better to sleep at platform then staying in hotel falken..it is a restaurant which is now converted into hotel rooms.. It is so pathetic and small and smelly. Rooms and corridors were stinking badly, there were spider webs in our room, beds were so uncomfortable that we couldn’t sleep whole night, room itself is very suffocated.. they have old ages Manual heaters in there Rooms which make noises like hell and so you Can’t sleep with turning them on. Overall, never never chose to stay in hotel falken, specially if you are travelling with family.

Airbnb-like hotel but found it ok and not bad
was a bit surprise that it's more like an AIRBNB than an actual hotel. We had to go walk around the corner to get to the room (or should i call apartment). Nonetheless, my wife and i found it to be OK and location was great - close and walking distance to all especially the the main train station. if you are looking for a budget friendly stay in lucerne and dont mind living in an apartment-like atmosphere - i would recommend this place

This was the worst hotel I have ever stayed. Bed bugs in my daughters room. No one answered her multiple phone call during the night to remedy the situation. Absolutely horrible.

Not worth staying
Very small and congested room, beds were terrible. Smell of food, as restaurant below was annoying. To come out of standing shower was risky. Front desk only from 11am to 9 or 10 pm so if you are late in check in you may loose your reservations even. Overall it was bad experience and will not recommend to anyone.

worst hotel ever.
we booked one room with four regular twin beds not bunk beds and they gave us bunk beds, there was barely any space to put our stuff and walk around. The bathroom there was barely any space to stand and shower also it was dark and dirty. No aircondition it was really hot. the pictures were probably fake on the wbsite, no toiletries, the bathroom door didnt even close, it was dark and dingy. Will not book this hotel ever again, worst experience, its all lies on the website when you book, its totally different when you go there.
