All in all it’s an interesting place to stay with each room having a theme. But the parking is very hard to navigate, hotel offers valet but to find your way to the valet is hard. The check in desk is at a nearby hotel in a different building. Staff is friendly and helpful.

Stayed in Egypt room which is top floor. Themed rooms are weird and kinda fun at the same time. Thank goodness weather was cool enough for open windows given room has no AC. Expensive due to location in center of old city. The beautiful clock tower ( just across the square) chimes the hours all night which made for unrestful sleep with windows open. I’d recommend ownership add AC to the room.

interesting hotel entrance
the room was fine and clean. the beds were comfortable. The strange thing was there was no lobby and you checked in at a partner hotel. The entrance was in an alley that was usually filled with restaurant employes smoking under the overhang.

The day we arrived, the gentleman that greeted us was not the friendliest. Some people should understand that if you are working at the front desk you should be nice and welcoming to your guests. I wish I had his name. Later we were helped by a blond guy that was super nice. On our check out Kai was also super nice as well. In general the hotel is ok. Was close to everything. For one night was good enough. We opted to pay for breakfast which was great and the variety was very good.

You can’t beat the location but it’s very noisy. There is a restaurant downstairs and the clock tower. You can close the windows to help block out the noise but then it was way too hot in the room even with the fan. There are no staff on site they are at their other hotel which is also where you check in. Breakfast is also available at a price at the other hotel. Otherwise room was fine and the location is fantastic. They offer valet parking if you arrive by car as we did again at the other property which is about a 2 min walk

Our room was on the third floor over the kitchen. Dishes banging from 5 am to 11 pm every night. Whenever the kitchen employees step out to smoke, the smoke goes right in the window to our hotel room. The room was clean but that room location itself sucked!

Overall disappointed with the stay. For a foreigner like me traveling to Lucerne for the first time, I didn’t realize that this hotel was difficult to get to. It is located in the walking district so driving your car there was weird as you had to navigate through hundreds of people and tight corners. We also had to park at a different hotel to be able to valet the car, as the hotel itself did not have a front desk. If you don’t have a car you won’t run into these problems. After that, we go up to our room which was pretty dusty and dirty, more than what I would expect. This hotel was also built in the 1500s so there was no air conditioning. This was a bit of a pain for us as it was really hot out. We opened the windows at night for a breeze which helped. The next thing was the noise. Even though we were on the top floor, it was very noisy even after restaurants and shops closed. The church bell would ring loudly every 2 hours throughout the night, and the street cleaning cars started around 4am. Overall it was tough getting any sleep. The staff was very friendly. Everything else was very poor. We are not likely to return, at least not in the summer and without a car.

We stayed in this hotel only for 1 night and this is the worse experienced ever had. We came early and we waited until 3pm before they let us check in into our assign room even though the room is clean. Staff has no customer service specially the front desk one. He kinda rude because he was talking to the customer without proper interaction and not friendly. The room is big but no aircon, only one electric fan that was working and was so hot at night. There is no 24hrs front desk or service desk and no one to ask for something we need. The lift is too narrow and can’t accommodate 2 people with the luggages. I would not happy staying in this hotel & i don’t think this is recommendable to my other frienda who wants to visit Luzern. But anyhow, the location and the place is good, accessible to shopping center and restaurants but little bit far to walk to the train station.

The hotel is very difficult to find . The check in process is very difficult as it is in another location at a different hotel. This hotel entrance is hidden in a tunnel. There is no ac and the windows open up to a very busy plaza with a restaurant below . There is also a clock that rings its bells upon the hour . The room decor was like a brothol including a mirror on the ceiling . Our room wasn’t ready at 3; PM checking , they were mopping when we tried to enter . In the morning the glass recycling truck made a tremendous noise around 7:00 am .
