Beautiful hotel room and dining room. Staff were so friendly and helpful. The breakfast bar was top notch. Grateful for the tea & coffee machine and dining area that was open 24-7.
Greeted by friendly staff, room was immaculately clean, located 5 minutes walk from train station and from restaurants,
Boats, etc. Breakfast was great also, just a wonderful experience overall. I highly recommend and would go back.
Great hotel close to train station but not in a seedy area you often find around rail stations. Clean. Helpful staff. Good breakfast. Restaurant next door (not affiliated with hotel) is excellent.
The staff was fantastic, especially the breakfast crew. Everyone was friendly and helpful. I am not giving five stars as our room was just outside the elevator. Although we had no mechanical noise, when folks were waiting their voices traveled through the door. The room was also definitely “cosy”. Not big issues, we are spoiled and made our stay just a touch less comfortable. We thank you all for the stay in Lucerne.
Fabulous hotel. Only 1 block to train. Chapel bridge 5-minute walk. Laundry 7-minute walk.
Clean, modern hotel. Nice continental breakfast included.
Definitely recommend and would stay here again.
We loved our room. We had a spacious corner room. It was clean and well taken care of. We also loved location. Close to the train station and easy access to old town.
We liked this hotel.
It is almost next to the train station.
Excellent central location, very friendly staff.
They gave us free transport vouccher and a free drink.
Coffess and teas in breakfast area are always available.
You can use that area to eat your own food if you need.
There is very homly atmosphere.
Free lugage storage is available.
Excellent breakfast.
Clean room, great breakfast(no fried foods) lots to pick from. Can use breakfast room throughout the day. Free coffee and tea all day, descent wifi. Would return to this property
This hotel is very conveniently located close to the main train station. We had a very comfortable stay and enjoyed the breakfast buffet.

You know how flying economy gets you to your destination, but you really can’t wait to deplane. Felt the same staying at the Lucerne Central Hotel. Noticeably cramped so would not recommend staying there more than two nights. Noise level will depend on the behavior and consideration of the guests near your room as well as the location of the room. Street-side rooms reportedly are very noisy. On a positive note, the hotel is conveniently located near the main train station, restaurants, and Lake Luzern.
Very nice B&B; helpful staff; provide space for guests to bring in and consume their own food, and a fridge for storage (this is a great idea, particularly in an expensive city like Lucerne!)
The property is showing its age. Rough around the edges and very small bathroom and especially the shower. There is no AC and it’s recommended to sleep with the window open yet people, traffic and construction is loud. And there are lots of bugs that come in. Would stay somewhere else next time.
