We came with a car, and we were so pleasantly surprised that we literally drove through the old city, it feels like you are living in the center of the best place in the city. the staff was super friendly, and the hotel was the most perfect place we ever been to. it's like somebody combed every inch and every experience a visitor will have and asked him/her self - how can this be perfect. I mean perfect room, amazing bar with a view of the river, beautiful vistas from the rooms, walkable to literally anywhere in 3 min or less. We saw tourist tour stop in front of the hotel and talk about the building.

Clean room, friendly staff, and excellent location. ##### Bradley Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Marty Nov 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Room was great. Large, had a TV, mini mini fridge, bath or shower tub. Food was great. Breakfast is $35 for hotel guests. That includes the buffet and the warm meals. To be honest the $20 in warm food is bettee spent than the $35\. Water go buy at the local co op down the street. Hotel was great at booking activities for us. Only complaint I have is the staff in the restaurant. And clearly it was a big enough one for me to give it 3 out of 5 stars. Really the only part of our 13 day trip that was upset about. ##### Marty Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### michaela May 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Perfect location in Lucerne!!!
