Terrible service, unsafe furniture, un attentive staff and expedia did nothing about it. Bed was faked as a king; with a double twin beds separated in the middle and stuffed with pillows mattress pad on top and wallah it's a king. Ridiculous. one side of the bed was sticking out of the cot, the middle was too squishy with pillows hence, leaving us only about 2 feet of the twin bed to sleep on. there was no AC so a huge air cooler was kept in the bed side making it impossible to get in and out of bed. The cooler had a big pipe running out the window for drainage so we could not close the curtains. Overall expedia is loosing standards.

The location is perfect, being next to the train station, boat quay (for trips across Lake Lucerne), concert hall (for the Lucerne Music Festival), and steps from the downtown and famous old bridges. Since Lucerne is so expensive, having the train station underground mall nearby is handy since it has relatively affordable groceries (the Coop store is awesome). Also, the train station has an amazing Tourist Info office that’s a great resource, and its entrance is right across the street from the street Alpina sits on. So convenient! Also, the pizza restaurant next door to Alpina is fabulous, and the rooftop bar at neighboring Monopole Hotel is the perfect place to go after you check in, for the views and ambience. We loved the fresh fruit left for guests at the front desk each morning; it made for good snacks later when we were on the train back from the mountains. Alpina was perfect for our family of four; we appreciated the quad room that allowed us to have separate beds for the teens and two rooms. I wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else.

We loved it here, except that we were in the heat of summer. It has no air conditioning but they do provide a fan for each side of the bed. Its a great area and everything we needed was within walking distance. I would stay here again if I were not travelling in summer.

If you want to sleep do not stay here!

Hotel Alpina is in a fantastic location—just steps from the train station, which made getting around incredibly convenient. The hotel itself is clean, charming, and the staff were welcoming and friendly throughout our stay. However, there is one major issue that would keep me from staying here again: the noise. There is a bar called Franky’s located directly beneath the hotel, and unfortunately, the noise from its patrons at night is overwhelming. When we entered the room and saw both earplugs and headphones laid out on the bedside table, we had a feeling it might be a problem—and it definitely was. The noise was so obnoxiously loud we couldn’t sleep at all. To make matters worse, the rooms have no air conditioning. While a small fan and what appeared to be a portable A/C unit were provided, the portable unit did not work, and the fan offered little relief. With no way to close the windows without overheating, the full brunt of the street noise came right in. It’s really unfortunate because the location is excellent and the staff are lovely. If you’re staying on a Sunday night (when Franky’s is closed), you might have a different experience. But personally, I would not stay here again due to the lack of sleep caused by the extreme noise.

The hotel is older and does not have great air conditioning, but they do have floor fans in the room that were on when we arrived. We were on the 5th floor, so it's helpful that they have a lift/elevator. It is small but does the trick with luggage. If a top priority is distance to the train station, this one is a good option.

Hotel Alpina is in a great location very close to Lucerne Main train station. Located in the heritage district, this hotel has character. We stayed for 3 nights. Evenings were a little noisy but that didn't worry us too much. The Las, I'm sorry I cannot remember your name, who was on the front desk was an absolute delight. She was always happy to see us on our return each day from adventuring into the alps. Hotel Alpina became our home away from home. On our second day we requested another fan for our room, and it was replaced immediately. I recommend Hotel Alpina and would certainly stay again.

Great location

This is an amazing central location in old Luzerne, perfect for Lake, trains, buses, central to restaurants and walks and with a view of Pilatus. Supermarket near by aswell. However, it can be noisy at night and no air conditioning due to historic building. Good value for money overall. The hotel's location outweighed the negatives.

NO AC!!! Be aware that this hotel has no AC. Typically the town of Lucerne has mild weather but we ended there when it was 90* and without AC it was hard to breathe and sleep. Besides that the hotel is near everything and very convenient to walk around.
