The hotel is in a fantastic location right on the shore of Lake Lucerne (Vierwaldstättersee), a little bit outside of the main town center (but only a short bus ride away). It is also very convenient to access the Transport Museum (Verkehrshaus). The rooms are a decent size with all the comfort you would expect. We were staying in a family room that is linked by a door between the two rooms which is great when travelling with still relatively young kids (5 and 7). The rooms had a spectacular view of the lake and the surrounding mountains!

Perfect location in Lucerne with amazing views of Mt. Pilatus and the lake. Hotel had all the amenities you would expect out of a property rated with 5 stars. The spa and sauna was especially nice in the evening which you were able to use for no additional charge. Rooms were quite large for European standards and were well furnished with comfortable beds and chairs. The tea and coffee provided was also very good. Definitely recommend getting a room with a view of the lake. Just spectacular.

Patrick and his Wife were excellent hosts, very serviceable and friendly, answers all of our questions about the hotel and about Lucerne! Great breakfast, buffet style very complete. We ate at their restaurant, great dinner and affordable compare to downtown Lucerne. Who should ask Patrick about the City pass, free bus ride to Lucerne Trains Station, with the bus stop just in front of the Hotel. Free parking at the Hotel, no hassel to drive downtown with our car and pay for expansive parking!

The whole family loved this place! It was such a relaxing stay. We loved the unit - the character of an older building but modern with updates, little balconies to observe city life in Lucerne. The unit itself was massive - great size rooms, high ceilings. Check in and check out was easy. Kitchen had all the basic necessities - dishes, pots, etc. Laundry (which is located on another floor) was great. I wish we could go back to Lucerne and stay here again - it was a wonderful visit.

We were looking for an affordable property in Lucerne, this was a great option. It was November, maybe the price goes up in summer? The young lady at check-in was lovely and very helpful. We had to pay a city tax, but were given a complimentary city, bus pass for a day, which was a nice bonus as we walked to town but it started raining on the way back and we jumped on a city bus which took us right to the hotel!

Lucerne is really beautifull and Hotel Alpha offers good price to stay in the city of Lucerne. Room: The room was good size and had a table and two chairs. We had a handy sink in the room. The bathroom is shared but modern and clean. For breakfast there is only meat and cheese when you get there early, but there was good variety and coffee. They add nice twists like eggs with the swiss-flag.

Great location in easy walking distance to the Lucerne attractions. The staff, mainly the receptionist (sorry to forget her name) and Thomas (the owner), and his mom were super friendly, helpful, and accommodating. Breakfast was abundant and delicious. I feel the room was the best room in the hotel, top floor corner room facing a great city street. Great experience overall.

A nice, newer, clean hotel. In a good location, convenient to central Lucerne: just 5-10 minutes walking to train station, and then a quick five-minute ride into town (and public transport is free, courtesy of the city). Staff was fantastic: helped with parking, directions, and other little things that we needed. A great value, too, given how expensive Switzerland can be.

Fantastic location, traditionally styled and has a trendy roof top bar that overlooks the city! The staff are super friendly and extremely professional. Upon arrival they make you feel so welcome and treat everyone as if they were superstars! All of the rooms and Suites are very clean and spacious. I only stay in this hotel when in Switzerland.

We liked the location, near Mount Pilatus Railway and less than 10 minutes from central Lucerne. The reception girls were friendly and the entrance hall, corridors and stairs were all OK. There was a place to park our car at the door. We also liked it was inexpensive in relation to the cost of everything in Switzerland.

The hotel is just a few minutes walk from Lucerne Station. Also walking distance to all attractions. The room is big and clean and the bed is comfortable. I love the bathroom too! It’s spacious and bright. Breakfast is good with enough choices. Would love to stay in this hotel again.

Complimentary drinks in mini bar (juice/water), coffee machine in the room, great breakfast with a variety of products, friendly staff, clean and comfortable rooms. The hotel is located in what seemed like a fairly busy area but the benefit is being so close to Lake Lucerne.

I can really recommend this hotel! It’s a sibling from the Barabas hotel and lies in the same building. We spend the night here on our way to Italy. It was clean, rooms were big and I think for Switzerland prices it was good. There is a supermarket across the street.

The hotel and location was beautiful, we were upgraded to alstadt hotel Lucerne so the location was uphill and at the check in and out area. 10mins walk to Lucerne hb. We liked the receptionist, she was informative and friendly.

Air conditioning is perfect for such hot weather when we stayed. Lots of parking space and the view from our window is also beautiful. I would definitely stay back in this hotel if I ever visit Lucerne again in the future!

Staff were lovely and liked to help, the hotel is in a VERY central location, Wifi connection was great, and the room's view was fantastic. To be honest, if I'll come back to Lucerne, I would stay there again.

Located right on the river, just outside of the busy inner city of Lucerne, The Tourist City and River Hotel made for a great location for exploring this town. We could walk everywhere! Breakfast was very good.

The hotel gives you a bus/train pass that you can use during your stay. You can simply take bus number 4 right in front of the hotel and be at Lucerne Bahnhof in 5 minutes.

Exceptional location / View is wonderful

Beautiful property and decor!
