Great location, clean room, lovely balcony overlooking the square. Didn’t see any staff due to self check-in so didn’t know about visitor pass until a helpful lady at KKL told us about it (gives small discounts on some activities).
Great location- balcony was fantastic. Loved the complimentary coffee/tea/water/beer.

This is a good place to stay for a short stay to visit Lucerne. It is pretty limited though. There is no desk service, check in is on a tablet, but for us the tablet was not working so we had to call a number and they walked us through how to activate a room card. The room is clean, but small and a little dated. The location is great and easy to walk to everything in town.

Great location. I loved the room and all the extras—clean room and comfortable bed. Luzern is a tourist city, so why doesn’t the hotel use English? I received 5–6 emails from you, and I couldn’t understand any of them. The self check-in system doesn’t work. We were three different guests, and all of us had to call for help. Also, there’s no soundproofing from the hallway —you hear everything and get woken up constantly.
No frills hotel (self check in & out), but it provided just what we neededed— a clean, quiet, spacious room with nice view of church and charming platz in front.
The check in process was fine once we got in the main building, but we had trouble getting in. There were so many emails I may of missed the entry code. Not a fan of auto entry.

We enjoyed our stay. The floor by the shower is wet due to the shower not having a door.
