Great stay. Being English it was difficult reading some directions in the laundry we-wash app required. No coffee available in the rooms - tea in the laundry area. Never could get the elements on the stove to work - no instructions. Other than maid service a truly no contact experience. Crazy stairwells - like an Essher

The digital Check in was easier than expected Rooms were good, bathroom was very small but not a deal breaker. Location was phenomenal! Easy walking distance to nearly all sights. 10 minutes to walk to anywhere! One minute to get to the Coop where you can purchase food, drinks whatever you might need.

Great space and atmoshere. Room was large and area very convenient. Old town area so had some sewage smell from the drain which was not pleasant in our room. Went to complete laundry but the washer was smelly and needed to be cleaned. We ran a clean cycle and advised the 3rd party app but they would not refund the invoice of $3 even though we disclosed the issue. Free tea was nice touch. Would stay again.

The property has self check in, which was complicated because the email with the passcode was sent to an Expedia email making it not easy to find. The room was very cramped but clean. If you have any accessibility issues this place would be difficult because of the number of stairs.

The room was extremely basic and bathroom was small. Shower water caused puddles on the floor. It had a hostel vibe but location was excellent.

The location is excellent, however the property can be maintained better. Our room was so dusty, we had to wash all utensils before using them. The towel warmer didn't work and the AC barely cooled the room, we slept with windows open. This is a hostel and that's how it is set up.

Very nice room. AC was great. Not sure if all rooms are like this but our room seemed very new like it had been redone recently. The location was perfect, right in the middle of everything in Lucerne. We needed to do laundry and they have brand new machines that worked great.

Pro: Good facilities. Comfortable. Con: Too many staircases (even within same floor). Not completely soundproof. Not all rooms are labeled with room numbers. A bit of distance from Luzern Train Station.

Be Careful

Room was nice and clean and laundry facilities was great. Beware of the magical room safes were your valuables can disappear. Wish I would have watched YouTube about this before using it.

Aside from the great location, aesthetics and initial interaction with the staff, this hotel was a very bad experience. The main issue is the obnoxiously loud machinery noise every few minutes (including overnight) from a generator or something else in the hotel. I think the hotel knows this, as they even include ear plugs in the bathroom. It is a very low pitched noise and also comes at random times which means we did not get much sleep during our stay. The walls are also very thin and can hear most of the surrounding rooms. The room itself is quite clean and a fridge was a bonus. However, the kitchen stovetop kettle and pot were rusty so we had to get our hot water from the community room.
