Two night Lucerne Stay
The Hotel was very good and clean. Breakfast was very nice. Shared parking with the apartment complex was a bit difficult but workable.

Whilst checking in the staff were excellent and explained everything fully in order to make the most of the visit. The free use of buses was discussed and it was so easy with the bus stop being right outside the hotel.

Elegant hotel with beautiful gardens, fantastic location with balcony view of the lake, at an affordable price.
Excellent breakfast and modern facilities all round in rooms, retaining old world charm and beauty down stairs, and still for an affordable price.
Friendly and helpful made a pleasurable stay complete.

The hotel located very close to the lake Lucerne with awesome lake view room and balcony. The room was clean and the bed comfortable. Hotel staff was very nice, gave us suggestions on sight seeing and transportation options in Lucerne. Breakfast was tasty with wide selection and frendly hostess.

We had a great stay at this hotel. Was the room hot at first? (It was 30 degrees and sunny outside.) Yes, but it cooled down once the ventilation system started up, and we all slept well. We had a room on the first floor, and the cutest little balcony. If you're looking for a brand new hotel, this is not the place for you. But its age is its charm, and we enjoyed the elegance of this hotel very much. It was sparkling clean, and all the hotel staff was friendly and helpful. We had a great supper in the bar. We would stay again without hesitation.

We checked in on a rainy day and when we opened the bed there was a big brown stain with a hair by it. Looks like they did not change the sheets. Room is very dated. The price you pay if for the location and not for your stay.

Great hotel.
Hotel is really beautiful & clean. The only problem was that the receptionist could not find the reservation upon checkin even though I called the hotel to confirm a date change & having the hotels.com reservation confirmation which took a long time waiting. All staff really nice.

Ordinary standard not matching high price
The hotel is oldfashioned. There is no air condition. Breakfast is ordinary, and the only available coffee is tapped from a standard industrial coffee brewing machine. The hotel room only offers a very limited range of soap and only one single instant coffee bag each person. The 4-star hotel is an old 3-star hotel.

No Air conditioner. Very hot here in July
It was in my filter when I booked my hotel initially
As must have AC. It was listed as AC providing hotel but not available at the property. Very disappointing!!

I read both the good and bad reviews before reserving to be honest I had my doubts before the actual arrival.
For context, I’ve travelled quite a bit, stayed in some of the best hotels and generally I’m a picky person. Let me tell you that this is one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed in. What a cute soulful place!!
Check in was a breeze, they let me do so early even. The room was spacious, neat, the bathroom was impeccably clean (and white so u can actually see how clean it is).
no bugs in the room (I checked). But obviously if you sleep w the windows open you’ll invite the nocturnal fauna in your room. They have portable air conditioners in the room to compensate, though I agree that window screens would do wonders in this case.
The lake views are of course unmatched.
The restaurant was very reasonably priced, food was delicious and hearty.
Some reviews commented on lack of luggage ramp and I only had a backpack but how can one complain about this given the historic beauty of this building? It’s only a few steps up & the property sent me a message ahead of time offering to help with luggage at arrival. That is 5 star service to me.
One thing I regret is that I didn't get a chance to see the inside of the building much to feel the history bc I was with my niece and for just one night we had very little time in the hotel. I will make sure to see it one day to try to imagine the splendor of this place in its day.
Overall, a 5 star stay in a beautiful town.
