We loved this property. The room was small but more than adequate. It was clean and had all of the essentials. It was also in an ideal location for exploring. The staff were very helpful and friendly but the icing on the cake was the common area. We used it a couple of times to bring our own lunch back to eat on the balcony. And the breakfasts were beyond good. A wide range of fresh ingredients made the whole experience a delight. We would definitely recommend and stay again.

The location is about a block from the train station and close to old town, which is quite convenient. They also provide a lovely breakfast. But our beds were very uncomfortable, the room was hot and very loud as the open window was the only way to cool it, and that didn’t even work.

Nice hotel, great location.

Lose to the railway station & the ferry piers, 2 minutes walk from the Chapel Bridge & other central Luzern attractions. The room was a reasonable size, bed comfortable. Towels seemed to be changed daily which was, in my opinion, unnecessary. Breakfast was a decent spread & tea & coffee were available 24/7. There was no fridge in the room, but a communual fridge was available in the breakfast room. The hotel also operated an honesty box system for cold drinks from this fridge. No aircon, as is normal for Switzerland, it had been hot before we got to Luzern & the room was rather stuffy, but they did provide a fan to try & get the air moving. Our room was up half a flight of stairs from the lift, whcih was not ideal as we had large suutcases, but we coped.

Nice clean property BUT no A/C, so upper floors (floor 4 for us) do not cool off at night in summer months. We left the window fully open all night with little effect. No apparent ventilation system except windows. Was not worth $400 per night.

A bit Spartan

We happened to be there in 90° weather and this hotel, like most in this area, has no air conditioning. That was a bit rough. But we managed. The location of this hotel is its best feature. It was close to the train station and other places we needed to go, and there were shops and restaurants all around. Just literally across the street is the Rosengart gallery, where they have a lot of Picasso, Klee, Miro, Seurat, and other impressionist and other contemporary artists. They have what they call a lounge where they serve breakfast; it’s a very nice, appealing room, and the breakfast was very good. There was not much hot food but really nice fruits and vegetables, yogurt, spreads, etc. Some of the basics at this hotel were pretty minimal. The rooms are small, which is not surprising. The towels are about what you would expect in an American prison. Very thin and scratchy; we were given two in a room with two people. When you take 3 to 5 showers a day because of the heat, towels matter. No washcloths, you have to ask for those. There’s a shared refrigerator, and they say they have a shared microwave. They say they take it out of the kitchen and place it in a common area after breakfast. We had just an hour before we had to check out and my son needed that microwave, and it did not show up. There was a breakfast server who was very disapproving, but maybe didn’t have English to say why. Sometimes in Swiss hotels I don’t feel completely welcome. Europe is different.

It went to 80's in temp when we were there and so it was hot in the room during the day, they do provide fans but no AC, but overall it was good mainly because of their location.

The room was spacious but unfortunately it was very hot and there was no AC. There was limited ice. It was in a good location. Parking was street parking which was not clear. We were under the impression that there was a garage. We panicked, parked on the street and ran to the hotel. Luckily the hotel staff was able to register us electronically and our car stayed in the street several blocks away.

This B&B was in a great location! It was an easy walk to, and from the train station, to old town, and the lake. We were provided with a transportation pass that allowed us to hop on and off certain trains, etc., within a certain area. This was terrific. Loved that breakfast was included. And the staff was super helpful. I highly recommend this Hotel. The included breakfast was super yummy as well.
