Lucerne Hotels with Breakfast

This was the fifth hotel on my trip to Switzerland. It's two bus stops from the train station, but conveniently located right by the stop, so getting there wasn't an issue. The hotel clearly exudes a rich history and old-world charm, with its luxurious European-style decor. I had a bit of trouble initially finding the right entrance and the front desk within the building. I'd actually booked a city view room, but the front desk upgraded me to a stunning lake view room – seriously, you *must* book a lake view! The terrace views were absolutely breathtaking!! The room itself wasn't huge, but it did have air conditioning. The bathroom was a tad small, mainly due to a large, rather useless cabinet taking up unnecessary space.

The hostel was the best capsule hotel I have ever been. The vibe was amazing (welcoming but also allowing privacy and quiet time); they provide still, cold, sparkling, and hot water options; they have a communal fridge, their design was beautiful and effortful, their space was clean, and the music playlist was cool!! The check-in email came immediately after I booked the hotel with clear instruction on check in (I later realised that not all capsule hotels had such high efficiency). I would highly recommend this hostel to anyone looking for affordable accommodation in Lucern!

The location is incredibly convenient, right next to the train station. Downstairs, there's a McDonald's and a Starbucks, and it's close to the bridge for easy access to boats heading to Mount Rigi. The only downside was the curtains didn't block out much light, so the room was quite bright at night. The evening I stayed, Spain won their semi-final match, and the street below was filled with fans honking horns and celebrating, which was a bit noisy.

No kettle and the room was quite small, but the location is super central. It's really close to Lucerne's main attractions, so if location is a priority for you, this place is a good choice. Switzerland is notoriously expensive, and this area felt a bit rural for the price. I'd estimate a hotel of this caliber would probably cost around 200 RMB in China. There's no free parking, so you'll have to find a paid parking lot nearby.

Excellent location (close to everywhere including train station and ferr), friendly staff, nice breakfast, very clean. I did have a challenge with sleeping as the portable a/c and fan are rather loud, but otherwise really good launch pad.

Just a 3-minute walk from the train station. It seems to be a sister hotel to the Monopoly next door. We left our luggage at the front desk, and when we came back late, we had to check in at the Monopoly. Our luggage was already delivered to our room, which was great! We were very happy with the family room; the decor was new, the king-sized bed was huge, and the bathroom was very comfortable!

The hotel was good and clean, the staff was very nice and helpful. The only thing was that there was no aircon and there was a heatwave. Luckily we caught the end of the heatwave and the fan sufficed - was not super comfortable but ok for a night as we had to leave super early.

Check out these photos of the hotel and the surrounding streets in the early morning, featuring typical European retro architecture with aged red bricks and green tiles. The best part is its proximity to the train station! Just a few steps from the train, you can drop off your luggage and completely free up your hands, avoiding the torture of dragging suitcases over the old town's cobblestone streets. The front desk service was also impeccable, both warm and professional. However, even with such a perfect location and amazing service, there's one fatal flaw – no air conditioning! Who would have thought that Switzerland in late May would defy expectations and be as hot as an oven? Accustomed to powerful air conditioning in Asia, returning to the room at night felt like a complimentary 'Swiss eco-sauna' experience. Location gets full marks, service gets full marks, but for the temperature, we had to rely on our strong willpower for some 'physical cooling'.

Hotel was in a great location, room was clean and very nice, bed was comfortable, and view was nice. Our bathroom was across the hall from our bedroom-- which though a little strange --didn't cause us any issues as it was private and clean (and huge). The only critique I have would be about the self check-in. I understand the goals of having a streamlined check-in process, but we didn't recieve the email with instructions, and had no answer to an email of inquiry. It took me phoning the hotel's administration to get an answer, in which the woman was very helpful, but did take away some of our time in Lucerne. If there was a more straightforward process that did not involve using the machine at the front door, as well as having clearer instructions on checking out, the stay would have been perfect.

Cleanliness and location all good. It’s near a bus stop and we could wait the bus to go to central train station, it’s quite convenient given that we had a travel pass for free. They have hot water provided at reception but the room was quite small and crowded. Overall it’s ok.
