We stayed here due to the proximity of the Seebad access but it was closed both days. The best part was the free bus access and fonicuar down the hill. However; For the price we paid we felt the experience was lacking - did not receive complimentary bottled waters included in the room. - room was HOT and when we turned on the AC the alarm went off while we were sleeping when the room was only 21 Celsius. - Did not receive fresh towels daily - alarm went off in the - the Dining was outrageously expensive and had to Greco down town for alternatives. - couldn’t take a shower without shower leaking all over the floor Would not recommend to anyone

This hotel canceled our PAID reservation made 4 months ago. We were traveling from Zermatt to Lucerne and we got an email from Expedia the day before we were scheduled to arrive at the hotel telling us that the hotel cancelled our reservation. Expedia made us a new reservation somewhere else, at the only room still available in town in that range, at a hotel we did not want to go to, but we had no choice. With one day notice, not much is available in a city like Lucerne. The hotel was simply unprofessional and unreliable. This was unacceptable in my view.

Spent five nights here in March 2022 and made it our base for exploring Switzerland. Could not be happier with it. It's a bit of a hike from old town Luzern, but that is not inordinate and the distance gives some space that wound up being welcome. Otherwise the facilities and staff were great -- excellent food and everything else. Highly recommended and would do it again in a heartbeat.

The hotel is pretty and the rooms were very clean. Not really walking distance from the main downtown part though. We had to change travel plans last minute and booked here, we were not notified of the latest covid restriction and upon entering the hotel told we would not be allowed to stay there if we didn’t get a rapid test tonight even though we were all vaccinated. I understand rules but the hotel should have notified us like all our other European hotels did. Also they sent us to two separate pharmacies that were closed, thank goodness we had a rental car. Frustrating check in process but the hotel overall is not a bad place to stay.

Thank you very much for your kind review. We are glad that you liked the view of the lake and the mountains. You have booked an upgrade to a room category where, for example, the minibar is included, the rooms are equipped with a Nespresso machine and are located on a higher floor. All of our rates offered online on Expedia or Expedia partner sites do not include breakfast. So the information you received was correct. We are sorry for the misunderstanding.

The views were spectacular especially from our room’s balcony. The concierge that checked us in and helped us multiple time was a charm to deal with. The La Scala Restaurant service and food was the best we had over four expensive meals in Lucerne. Rooms are comfortable but Swiss stark. Would definitely stay again.

Very dissapoibted.
I stayed this week whilst on business, the hotel is very dated and in need of refreshing – I was expecting it to look like the photos, however it is more dark and gloomy and not very bright. The room I was in was the largest of the hill category, the lamp didn’t work, the pillows were super flat and only 2 of them and there was a mark on the pillow that looked like blood. The hotel came to change them and suggested it was “paint” however there was no red paint work in any of my room. They fixed the lamp but the room was still super gloomy and very dated. Then I noticed a HUGE bug flying around which the front desk staff came and removed. On a positive note the steak sandwich was incredible…. On a further negative note… Upon check out I was charged 30fr for breakfast… I was under the impression it was inc, but it wasn’t, it was very pricey for the offering. Location is great, the bar is buzzy and the cable lift is super helpful.

The room was nothing like pictured, very small, and not the quality of finishes and furniture you’d expect at 5 star hotel. The manager also didn’t really do much to make it better besides giving a complementary late check out. The only thing I recommend for this hotel would be the views.
