Some of the best views you could ask for with the local cows coming out at night, bringing the soothing sounds with them. It was very hot for the time of year and no AC in my room. They did offer a fan and with the windows open, it was still comfortable to sleep. No iron available so bring your own if that’s a necessity.
Not great check in/check out times. Travel to and from is a bit tedious from the downtown core as well, would recommend the spot if renting a car only as Ubers/Taxis were not keen on traveling to the location without additional costs added on and bus routes do not take you up the hillside. Wi-Fi set up was difficult and confusing, as you needed to have data and texting availability to be able to sign in. Made it difficult to get logged on as an international traveller who was only using Wi-Fi while overseas, so I was charged to turn on my roaming to be able to connect to the internet. All that being said, views were stunning outside and in, great trails to explore nearby, wildlife was at our fingertips, and all around beautiful area. After hours check in (after 6pm) was easy, but again you will require texting/roaming to be able to receive the code to be able to open the lockbox.
We stayed in the corner room, which had its own bathroom and a lovely patio. We didn’t realize beforehand that other rooms share a bathroom, so we were pleasantly surprised to have a private one.
It's worth noting that, like many hotels in Europe, this one isn’t staffed in the evenings. After 6 PM, there were no employees on-site. That also means no room service or food. However, they did leave out snacks and supplies on different floors, along with detailed instructions in case we needed anything.
Once we adjusted to the setup, the stay was truly enjoyable. We especially loved having breakfast on the patio each morning. The staff were friendly and eager to help during the day, and the overall experience felt cozy and home-like, with stunning views of the city. Highly recommend!
Excellent views but little difficult to and fro to lucerne station. If planning to travel alot using trains the get a hotel vlose to station only otherwise do try this plus get to enjoy sloped train near hotel that goes down to main road
We have stayed here before and we love it here. We were warned in advance there was to be a big party that night of our stay. But it was no bother at all and so kind the hotel gave us advance warning. Such a beautiful place to stay
Lovely comfortable room with an exceptional view. It was disappointing that the restaurant was closed both nights we stayed.
Breakfast was ok.
It would have been good to have clearer instructions that you need to say you are a guest of the hotel in order to get a free trip up on the funicular railway (we expected it to be free and showed our Lucern Guest Card but were told by the ticket office that we had to pay)

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Place was fine and staff super helpful but after a very long drive and dead tired, we were told the restaurant and bar were closed on Sunday. The hotel location is rather remote but helpful staff directed us to the nearest.
Receptionist very helpful, providing information over and above ref what to see and do. Also very helpful saving a car parking space close to the property due to a car problem. We were both very impressed by the amazing views and would not hesitate to stay there again.
The hotel was clean but sort of sparse with limited dining. It looked like a nicely converted dormitory. Not much happening in the remote neighborhood.
The room and the view and the surrounding area were all amazing! It was beautiful, and we loved the animals that lived there.
Transportation was very dicey. I would not stay here without a car. Furthermore the reception only works from 8-5, so getting their help to call a taxi required much more coordination than I would have liked. We almost missed our train because of these logistics.
