James, United States of America

This was a special occasion for me, they make the room very beautiful with small candles and red roses without extras. They also prepared a small baby bed for my child. And that's was perfect. The chocolate from Läderach, the shampoos and cream from L'OCCITANE the quality is perfect. And the small details really make a difference. The parking services is great but little expensive, for long term parking i suggest ( Park and Go) out side luzern and very cheap. But for 3 days the hotel service was amazing they take your car and park it for you.

Mohammed, Saudi Arabia

Traveling with my mom and brother for Christmas and we chose this hotel for its location. We were not disappointed - it was right on the river in old town, easy walking distance from the train station and all of the sites in Lucerne! We requested a triple and received a room on the top floor that had a double + rollaway and seating area. It was a little tight with the seating area, which we ended up moving around, but everything else was great. The balcony with a view of the river was a special surprise! The bar was hopping and we got a great recommendation for a local restaurant from the bartender. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to Lucerne.

Stacey, United States of America

Everything was great. Perfect location, friendly staff, clean rooms. Would definitely stay here again.

Ashley, Italy

Very good location. Lovely place. Complementary coffee chocolates. Beautiful balcony. Perfect View.

Natalia, Spain

Excellent location and staff! We had a balcony room with views to the lake and it was spectacular!
