In der Altstadt an zentraler Lage. Restaurant und einzelne Zimmer mit Blick auf die Reuss. Perfekte Zimmereinrichtung, schöne Lounge, gepflegter Service. Qualität hat ihren Preis.

Betrifft alle Personen vom Putzpersonal bis zum Service im Restaurant.
Breakfast (100%)
Glücklicherweise gibt es die Möglichkeit à la carte zu frühstücken. Ein Buffet mit den heute üblichen umfassenden Angeboten würden wir uns allenfalls am Mittag oder Abend wünschen, am Morgen sind wir damit mengenmässig und finanziell überfordert.
Restaurant (80%)
Gut, aber zugleich die teuerste Restaurant-Mahlzeit während unseres Aufenthalts in Luzern.

Perfekt eingerichtet aber doch eher klein für ein gehobenes Hotel.

Beaucoup trop cher pour une chambre comme la 308 se faisant réveiller par les Ouvriers le samedi matin à 08:15 et surtout entendre les clients de la chambre d'à côté discuter?! nous pouvions entendre clairement leurs discussions... Pas juste du "bruit". Ce n'est pas un Hôtel, serait-ce un simple motel?

The location of the hotel is about perfect. The reason for the average rating is because the tram noise is instrusive.

Room was comfortable. Only one of eight of the USB ports in the room was operationl. This was reported to housekeeping however the problem was not repaired. The front desk personal were able to prove a power adapter which accomodated our needs. The toilet paper is substandard for a hotel at this price point.

Too much tram noise. We were not expecting a city hotel to be noise free but excessive noise every 8 minutes is the reason for this rating.

Because of construction, we got a really good rate. I hope they don’t raise the rates. The rooms are small so I’m not sure I would pay much more than I did.

Beautiful Hotel in the heart of old town, Lucerne. The entrance to the hotel is probably the most photographed spot in all of old town. We stayed in a large romantic suite, the balcony and a view of the river highly recommend.

Wunderschönes Buffett mit allen erdenklichen Leckereien. Nur der Kafffee könnte besser sein; obwohl er serviert wurde, schmeckte wr nach den üblichen Hotelautomaten. Und wenn er aus dem Automaten kommt, ist mir Selbstbedienung lieber: es geht dann schneller!

The food is excellent but a little more variation on the vegetarian healthy options is needed! We need more than a salad and a plate of pasta to fulfill our dietary needs if we don’t or can’t eat meat and fish!

Wir haben einen sehr guten Eindruck vom Hotel sowie von dem Restaurant. Wir wollten kein Frühstück zu CHF 35.- pro Person sondern à la card bestellen, was nicht mehr möglich war. Mein Mann hat am Telefon aus versehen mit Frühstück reserviert, was uns sofort auf die Kreditkarte verbucht wurde und nicht mehr möglich war, es zu stornieren. Wir mussten um 8:15h im Kantonspital Augenklinik sein und da wir von Zürich kommmen, haben wir bei euch einen Tag zuvor übernachtet.
