This hotel's superpower is its location.
Stayed in Lucerne for the first 3 nights of a longer Switzerland trip, and I'm super happy I ended up with the Hotel Weisses Kreuz for the hotel.
Some reviewers will probably say the rooms are small, but I found the room to be pretty much perfect given the purpose of the room. You're sleeping here. That's it. We didn't have a view out the window, but didn't need one because we were one flight of stairs away from being in the middle of old Lucerne and staring at the Chapel Bridge.
This is the part that wasn't clear when I was booking that would have helped. The scale isn't super easy to figure out when you're looking at a map. The location of this hotel is absolutely fabulous. Exit the hotel and turn left and you're a few steps from all the restaurants with patios that overlook the river Reuss and the aforementioned Chapel Bridge. Turn right instead, and you're in the middle of a shopping area in old Lucerne. It gets even better - you're really close to the bus/train/boat stations in Lucerne. This hotel is perfect as a base of operations while you explore the area by train or boat. Walking to either takes no more than 10 minutes.
Breakfast was included in my stay, and each day we were greeted by the amazing staff at the hotel and had a great breakfast. It's typical EU breakfast - some eggs, cereals and sliced meat, but it's exactly what you need to start the day.
