It is located right next to Luzern Station. It is very convenient, as you have access to the grocery stores situated around the station. The boat landing is also nearby, making it easy to take a boat trip to visit Mount Rigi, and you can also reach Mount Pilatus quickly by train.

The hotel was lovely, staff were understanding and attentive. I had a few small issues which were handled promptly. Great position to walk everywhere and if doing a tour, the pick up is right around the corner. Breakfast was good. The only thing was that there was a toddler above us who was running around and the floor seems very noisy.
