Hervorragendes Hotel in der Altstadt von Luzern. Coole Bar, schönes Frühstück, ausgezeichnetes Restaurant (15 Gault M.). Zimmer (Suite) gegen die Reuss: Sehr ruhig und gemütlich mit Regendusche, Whirlpool-Wanne und 2 WC‘s. Tolle Location mit familiärem Touch.

Apprécier la décoration et service en salle. Pas apprécier: bruit suit aux éliminations des bouteilles vide du restaurant dans la nuit, pas de service de conciergerie pour les valises. Ils faut monté et descendre une 12 marches et l’antipathie des réceptionnistes envers francophone. On s dû attendre 30’ à l’extérieur pour la voiture priorité donner aux suisses allemand et allemands.
