Great location. Very friendly staff. The rooms are somewhat small and lack any real ventilation except if you open the windows. No screens so bugs can get in. Could use some better ventilation, or at least screens, possibly air conditioning - otherwise they get really stuffy.

Hotel Central was the perfect location for our 5 nights in Lucerne. The included breakfast was very well done and plentiful. The convenience of having the refrigerator with provided labels so that we could store some food along with other guests was such a great idea. Additionally, they had a Vending machine for soft drinks wine, beer and then coffee and tea was available 24 hours a day. Lovely quaint hotel would certainly recommend it and stay there again.

This hotel was delightful. Super convenient for the station and the boat pier, 5 mins walk max, and from the main old town. Breakfast lovely and fresh, with a lounge area for all day use and bringing your own food back to eat (great when trying to save a bit of money and not eat out every day!). Friendly staff who made me feel really welcome. If I'm back in Luzern, I would definitely stay here again!

Great location

The hotel is in a great central location with plenty of restaurants and activities very close by. My only negative was no AC but they usually don’t have the heat we experienced while there. Breakfast was nice and the staff was very friendly and helpful.

Front desk is very friendly. walking distance to train station, restaurants and super market. Common eating area open during the day to have your own lunch or dinner. We really enjoyed the free coffee after a long day. Tasty breakfast with lot of options for everyone. Serving staff is very helpful. The hotel also held our bags free of charge after we checked out so that we can explore the city before leaving. Will definitely stay again.

Close to Train station

The positives: This hotel was an easy 4 min. walk to the train station. They had a lovely dining / common area that was open 24/7 and many guests brought take out food to eat there instead of going to restaruants. The bed was comfortable. The down side: The room and bathroom were small. ( the bathroom reminded me of the one on our motorhome). As there is no central air, we opened the windows at night, however, it was quite noisy. By night two, we learned to use ear plugs and the fan they provided in the room. Both helped.

The property was clean and adequate. Very basic but all we really needed. The highlight was the continental breakfast. It was outstanding with fresh fruit, croissants, meats, hard and softboiled eggs, yogurts with toppings. If you were going for a hike later, you could make yourself a sandwich froma all the wonderful breads, croissants, meats and cheeses. Coffee machine made amazing espresso and a variety of drinks. We would stay here again.
