    It was beautiful, clean, and lovely! The people were amazing! The breakfast was superior

    We loveed everything!

    10TornikePosted on: 1-6-2026

    Hotel was generaly clean and cosy and hotel staff was friendly. We had good time with two kids and did not feel any discomfort, as we were 4 persons in the room.

    We could not lock the bathroom door.

    9ΓεωργιοςPosted on: 1-6-2026

    Free parking, nice room, friendly staff especially Hüseyin at the reception, good restaurant.

    Poor breakfast, quite basic.The dinner was exceptional but expensive.We were charged 7chf for one carafe of tap water.

    10LiorPosted on: 12-23-2025

    Wonderful friendly team, very good breakfast, clean, great functional facilities.

    9MadelinePosted on: 11-20-2025

    The room was very spacious and clean. Check in was easy with friendly staff. The breakfast in the morning was wonderful, with many delicious options.

    The hotel is a bit outside of Lucerne, not in the most picturesque neighborhood, but the hotel does offer free public transportation cards into the city. The road was a bit noisy and there was a soccer practice field that was a bit disruptive.

    10ShanePosted on: 10-31-2025

    Best room of our two week vacation. It was very comfortable. We especially liked the extra room we got with the two lounge chairs and table.Loved the breakfast.

    It wasn’t in the city center so we had to take the bus 20 minutes.

    8RandolphPosted on: 10-31-2025

    Excellent breakfast. Bus to city center stops conveniently right in front of hotel. Staff were friendly and helpful.

    Dinner meal overpriced, not as good as other places we ate at in Lucerne.

    10CynthiaPosted on: 10-24-2025

    Staff was friendly and helpful (both front desk and dining staff). Great location! Not in the city center, but easy public transit.

    9HilaPosted on: 9-21-2025

    Close to Luzern, great location, amazing views and vey good breakfast. Staff is welcoming and oveall cozy atmosphere.

    Shades aren't the best, but we woke up to this view, so it wasn't that bad. No lift.Didn't receive the visitor card ahead of arrival, so I couldn't use it to get a discount at the transport museum.

    8MadelinePosted on: 9-5-2025

    The half board meal at the restaurant was superb! Room/bed was comfortable and clean. Out of the main town but easy to access by the (free) bus.

    No AC so it got a bit warm despite the provided fans.

    6SarmaPosted on: 8-31-2025

    The location was great, reachable with a 20 min bus ride from Luzern. The restaurant is spacious and has a nice mountain view. Breakfast was okay,

    Even though the room was spacious, it was nothing close to as shown in the photos. Most of the rooms have view to the car park, definitly not worth the money they charge. When I approached the staff at reception, she mentioned there were only 4 rooms having mountain view and she could not offer me one. There was no supply of tea/coffee and kettle in the room which is provided even by budget hotels now a days.

    8MoshePosted on: 8-13-2025

    Clean specious room , around 10m by bus from the center.Breakfast was good and staff were nice.Pool was perfect escape from the summer hit.

    Lack of AC or cooling system in the summer

    10GomucPosted on: 8-11-2025

    Excellent hotel, very nice poeple. 10 min from town with free city bus.

    5VeraPosted on: 8-6-2025

    It was location at bus stop. Free local bus to 10 min bus ride to centre of Lucerne. Breakfast was nice but understaffed. Views from hotel lovely

    Restaurant was closed for holidays. Prices for water and other drinks were too expensive. I expected pool to be heated. It was cold. Would have liked more staff. And there was no lift so staff had to help with heavy luggage.
