Wonderful location and very nice and helpful staff. Room was well appointed. Breakfast was very good and varied. I highly recommend this hotel when staying in Lucerne. Location provided quiet room but old town shops nearby as are bridges across the river. This hotel is a gem!

Fast check in and check out process. Quiet environment, and safe. Good view of the river. Has luggage storage availability after check out. Friendly front desk and dining staff. Pretty average breakfast options. Triple room was spacious and clean. Bus stop 'bruggligasse' very close by for bus line 9 that travels to the train station. Would recommend a stay here while in Lucerne.

Excellent mid price option in easy walking distance of all of central Luzern, and reasonably walkable with rolling luggage from the train station (one set of stairs). The staff was kind and helpful, and breakfast was good.

This is a great hotel to stay at with a view of the river and mountains! I loved having my balcony and being steps away from the main attractions in Lucerne. I would recommend this hotel to anyone and hope to stay again!

Location close to town & a nice facility. We were surprised by the large size of our room (slept 4) and that it had a terrace overlooking the river. Comfortable mattress, strong water pressure and nice breakfast included. Highly recommend!
