Very Good

Good location, easy walk to/from the train station. The rooms are adequate size, not large but also not too small. We would stay again based on value and location.

Room was very small. Bed took up most of the space with very little room on the sides. The information on the modular furniture was not applicable since ours did not have thise features.

Great place and nice and central. Wish the bartender had of told us that we had coupons in our room for a discount at the bar.
Very comfortable and clean and quiet area. The room had air conditions as it was warm the week we stayed here. Very centrally located to all the shopping and resteurants.

Liked: Staff & service, room comfort
The quad room was very small, but the beds were comfortable. It had air conditioning which was a lifesaver since the temperature was unseasonably hot (90’s) during our week of travel. The bathroom could have been cleaner as there was some mold in the shower. But overall, the hotel was well located, the beds were comfortable, and having air conditioning was a definite plus!
Nice location in the centre of Lucerne. Clean room and easy check-in. Only drawback was the small bathroom.

Great location, especially for us as a stopover for one night. Close to shopping, dining, and the train station.
You have to make sure you can access email to get check-in instructions, which can be challenging for international travelers. There is no reception.
The rooms are small but clean.
The place is easy to access. The person sends all the information for check in. The room is comfortable, normal for a hotel in Europe. It says it's the oldest in Lucerne but it looks updated. I liked the idea that it was old, the elevator is small but it works and traveling is about knowing and feeling the other country. I liked it. A hotel close to everything.
What a find! Great central location, clear check in instructions, everything you could need in the room including air con, kettle & mini-freezer. I would definitely recommend staying here.
We stayed just one night. Everything is done remotely, no staff on site. Not a bad thing, just didn’t realize that and might not be a great fit for all travelers. Also above a pub with late live music. They left ear plugs for us- but was still a loud evening. Again- the music didn’t bother us much, but travelers should be aware. It was clean and we had enough space for our family of 4.
Contactless check in was no problem. Took a second to find the Goki app to get in the room but after that, no issues. I had a request for additional pillows to help with my back and they accommodated. The elevator is SUPER TINY but works great. The water pressure is powerful in the shower 👍.

Area in general was loud at night. We had to open windows at night to keep the room cooler (as there’s no AC), and that made the noise worse. There’s also a bar downstairs and we smelled weed when we entered the building.
GREAT option for Lucerne. Just enough distance from the riverfront crowd. Great vibe at the bar downstairs (closes at 12:30). Clean. Parking is right there.
Great hotel only 10 mins from the train station in Luzern. If you like connection then maybe its not the best hotel for you, but the contactless check in was simple and the service via Whats App was great. The xmas night market was just outside the hotel, which made it very magical. Highly recommend staying here.
