The ok side: Good location near train, the staff in the breakfast (2 amazing waitresses), clean, close parking, breakfast was good and complimentary The NOT ok: The front desk were not nice at all, they give you the feeling that they do not like to serve you or answer your questions. The air condition is not good, when I called the front desk said that it is what it is and if I want to get a fan I should come over and take it. Bottom line, we won’t come again although I have it average

Although property updated and nearly new, you either took train (free pass from hotel) into old city center or drove yourself. Parking is extra and a bit steep at 25 chf per night. Easy on and off major hwy.

Brilliant stay, stayed 4 nights with my family. Location isn’t bad as train station 2-3 mins walking distance, and the free voucher to travel to Luzern station was very handy. Room was great, very clean, service brilliant. They have thought of most things with usb charging port, able to request certain items like toothbrush, hotel also had microwave in the lounge area which was very helpful. Staff were amazing, very helpful, always ready to help and offer advices when asked esp for travelling around. Breakfast again was of very good standards. Honest can’t fault anything during our stay and defenitely recommend it. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Modern & Comfortable Hotel

I found the room to be spacious, clean and comfortable. The hotel is very modern and ia 5 minute walk (if that) to the train stop. If I remember correctly Kriens is only 2/3 stops away from Lucerne which I think is a fantastic town. The offer the usual continental breakfast which I found to be fresh each day. Overall I had a really comfortable stay.
