Great location. Very friendly staff. The daily breakfast that is offered is quite good and certainly helps with the cost of any trip to Switzerland. This is a no frills hotel. The rooms are small, but adequate. No air conditioning -- though excellent fans are provided.

Hotel is older but in good clean condition. Good breakfast and staff are super helpful and friendly. My only complaint is no air conditioning, but who knew it would be 32 degrees celsius in Switzerland while we were visiting and our room was on the top floor. Great location, close enough to it all but just a bit enough distance from all the action for quiet and peace. I would stay here again, only if I came back and there was not a heat wave but I don’t think a/c is common here.

The hotel is cute and located right by the lake. The room and bathroom are very clean. Breakfast is awesome with lots of choices. Our major concern is safety since the door lock of the rooms are the traditional ones which require keys to lock and unlock even inside the rooms. In other words you have to lock it inside using the key and unlock it every time you want to get out of the room. What if emergency happens in the middle of the night. How on earth you can grab the key to unlock the door when you are in a panic mode. There is no air conditioning in the hotel. It is hot during summer months in Lucern. Our August stay became very uncomfortable because of the stuffy air inside the hotel.
