Fabulous location, gorgeous hotel great breakfast
Internet often poor and was expensive- for me at heat
Very cozy, large room and bathroom, super clean and the staff was great. It was excellent the promotion of late checkout for the Luzern Marathon participants! Location is also very good!
The entrance is not accessible, with a flight of stairs right at the front…Difficult if you have a baby stroller, for example.
Location only.
1. We paid for the suite room (more expensive) and we got a room much worse than the normal room.2. Staff were not cooperating when we were shocked of the level of the suite room and they did not show us the normal room; which is much better and newer than the suite room which we reserved based on the pictures of the in booking.com.3. Breakfast poor and we had to pay more if we asked for scramble eggs and Jasmin tea .. etc4. Room cleaning service is less than expected.
location is quite.convenient.
new renovated, but still full of smell of new painting. quite expensive, but could not feel it meet the expectation of 4 stars hotel. stairs from entrance to reception is not quite friendlly for carrying heavy luggages. more breakfast variety should be offered.p
the staff was very friendly
The breakfast and the entrance with a lot of staircase.
Spacious room and clean
Lacking electrical sockets in room.
Don’t stay in this hotel…
Expensive but Budget hotel facilities. Very bad quality pillows n mattress. Low quality breakfast. Have to pay Fr5 for an omelette. Bathtub been modified so that you can’t used. Many tour groups staying in this hotel.
Location was very good , the view from my room.
Limited choice of the breakfast
Room was great with Terrific space for closet and bathroom toiletries. Very quiet. The breakfast was convenient and good start of the day! Very accessible to lake and downtown by bus with complimentary bus pass
LocationFree airport shuttleBreakfast was super but way to expensive
1st night- only 1 server/bar tender in the restaurantPerch dinner - very good-2nd dinner - not so good. Turkey club. Too expensive for a turkey club. Room is very nice. Clean.The room and front service meet expectations. Dinner restaurant is too expensive
Beautiful large room. Lovely big hotel with lots of character and ambience. The staff was very helpful.
Location and staff and the room
The rate was slightly elevated in our opinion
Courteous staff and excellent location
Clumsy attic modified room. No ramp to transfer heavy luggage
It is ok with close location to lucern city
It is unnecessary expensive it is a 3 star hotel. No one gives any information they want to charge extra. Gave us a very small room compared to what we booked. When asked said it is no guarantee to get the same size room. Not ideal for families due to very tight rooms and only 2 elevators.
Overall, we had a very good stay at the Grand Hotel Europe. The location is convenient – not directly in the busy tourist center, but only about a 10-minute walk away, and with very easy access to the lake just across the road. Nearby there is a nice tennis court and a small restaurant with excellent food and a welcoming hostess. The park in the area also makes it a pleasant place for walks.The hotel offers lovely views, and the staff deserve special praise – they are friendly, helpful, and attentive, always ready to assist.
At the same time, the property itself feels outdated. The rooms, bathrooms, and corridors are in need of renovation, as both the style and the condition show their age. Another issue was the strong smell of food, especially bacon, spreading through the corridors in the morning during breakfast preparations. For a four-star hotel, it would be important to ensure a fresher atmosphere.Finally, clearer signage for arriving guests would be helpful. When coming by car, it is not obvious where to drive up and unload luggage. A visible sign, a small canopy, or a designated unloading point with staff assistance would improve the arrival experience.In summary, the hotel has many positives – great location, wonderful staff, and beautiful surroundings – but would truly benefit from refurbishment and a few improvements to match its four-star status and pricing.
We had lovely stay at Grand Hotel Europe. Room was amazing. Great location and connection to the city centre. People working at the hotel were really nice and helpful.
Very comfortable beds
The room and furniture desgin is very basic also the breakfast was not very good.
