Super, affordable choice in Lucerne
Staff was excellent. Front desk was welcoming and when we asked where to buy a plug converter they loaned us a couple for three days. The buffet breakfast was tasty and the staff was always around filling things up, tidying etc. Room was clean with a nice balcony and a view of the river, bridges, mountains.
From balcony at sunset looking halfway to right.
From balcony looking half left, in the morning wth fog.
From balcony looking half left zoomed in on a different day when mountains were visible.

Wonderful location and very nice and helpful staff. Room was well appointed. Breakfast was very good and varied. I highly recommend this hotel when staying in Lucerne. Location provided quiet room but old town shops nearby as are bridges across the river. This hotel is a gem!

This is a comfortable hotel in the old town close to dining options and shopping. Staff were very helpful and compared to other accommodation options in Lucerne it was good value with breakfast included. The only negative was the internet did not work for either of us during our stay.

Fast check in and check out process. Quiet environment, and safe. Good view of the river. Has luggage storage availability after check out. Friendly front desk and dining staff. Pretty average breakfast options. Triple room was spacious and clean. Bus stop 'bruggligasse' very close by for bus line 9 that travels to the train station. Would recommend a stay here while in Lucerne.

Excellent mid price option in easy walking distance of all of central Luzern, and reasonably walkable with rolling luggage from the train station (one set of stairs). The staff was kind and helpful, and breakfast was good.

This is a great hotel to stay at with a view of the river and mountains! I loved having my balcony and being steps away from the main attractions in Lucerne. I would recommend this hotel to anyone and hope to stay again!
