Very disappointing given it was a significant effort to make our way to Lucerne and were looking forward to unwinding and enjoying the location.

Hotel, amenities, location and staff are first class. Restaurant was poor overall and was very unhappy with the pacing of the meal and then ended up getting sick overnight. I will stay at the property again but will not eat at the restaurant.

To be honest, I was worried before I arrived at the hotel as it is built in the 16th century. But it was such a delight when I arrived and stayed. The hotel was furnished with modern design, well lit, modern amenities. It was a lovely 3 nights, slept well, good food, great location, wonderful staff. Truly a great experience in a lovely town.

Great location and excelent view from the room. They had to change our room vecause the A/C was not working, so it was an unconfortable situation. The staff could be more polite or friendly, we didn't even recieve an apology. The restaurant was amazing, we had a great dinner in the terrace next to the lake. Very complete breakfast.

Schönes gehobenes Hotel an wunderbarer Lage. Zimmer im Verhältnis zum Preis eher unausgewogen.

Hotel in an excellent location, excellent hospitality, excellent atmosphere, we really enjoyed it. Parking is expensive and problematic, but the staff is so nice and tries so hard that it is worth it and fun to stay at the hotel.
