Lucerne Hotels with Free Breakfast

I had been checking for room availability at Cascada almost every week because it seemed to sell out so quickly. When a room finally became available for our travel dates, I booked it immediately. After staying here, I completely understand why it's so popular. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and surprisingly spacious by Swiss hotel standards. One detail I absolutely loved was the hotel's unique waterfall theme. Every room is named after a Swiss waterfall, and there's a QR code in the room that lets you learn more about the waterfall you're staying in. Ours was the *Rheinfall* room, which added a fun and memorable local touch to our stay. Breakfast was excellent with a good variety of options, making it easy to start the day well-fed before exploring Lucerne. The staff were warm and welcoming throughout our stay, with the reception team being especially friendly and helpful. The location is another major highlight. The hotel is only about a 6-minute walk from Lucerne train station, making it very convenient for travellers arriving by train. At the same time, it's situated on a quieter street, away from the crowds and traffic around the station area, so it feels much more peaceful. The Old Town and the iconic Chapel Bridge are also within easy walking distance, around 10 to 12 minutes away. As an added bonus, guests receive a visitor card that provides free public transportation during their stay, making it even easier to get around the city. Overall, Cascada Boutique Hotel offers the perfect balance of convenience, comfort, and thoughtful hospitality. From the spacious themed rooms to the friendly staff and excellent location, it's easy to see why this hotel is often fully booked. I would happily stay here again on my next visit to Lucerne.

The Radisson Blu Hotel, Lucerne boasts a truly perfect location, right next to the train station and the KKL Culture and Convention Centre. It's just a few minutes' walk to the lakeside and Chapel Bridge. The rooms are spacious and bright, with efficient air conditioning. Some lake view rooms even offer distant views of Mount Pilatus. The bedding is comfortable, and soundproofing is excellent. Front desk service is warm and professional; they've swiftly helped guests change rooms and even mailed back forgotten items free of charge, which was very impressive. Breakfast reviews are mixed; some guests praise its variety, while others complain about stale bread and limited seating. Wi-Fi can be a bit unstable occasionally, and during peak season, staffing sometimes feels a little stretched. Overall, combining convenience with comfort, it's an efficient choice for exploring Lucerne.

This is the best hostel I've ever stayed in. The capsule rooms are true to their name – each guest gets their own capsule. They have both mixed and female-only dorms. Inside the small capsules, there's ventilation, so the temperature is just right, and the beds are already made up. Check-in is self-service; you'll receive your room number and door code via email. This same code also opens your capsule. Both the room and capsule locks are touch-screen. The guests are very considerate; most people who pack up early do so outside the room. There's no dishwashing area, but you can give your dishes to the staff to wash. The staff are very enthusiastic, especially one uncle and a young lady. The lady even helped us find a storage room for our luggage.

Great location, very near the station! The room was clean and face the inner court which was peaceful during this renovation period. We didn’t hear any noise. Thanks to the front desk staff recommendation! They were really helpful! The only issue is the shower water temperature fluatuate.

The hotel is more than 500 years old and has a sense of history. The rooms are clean and spacious. The service is warm and welcoming. The restaurant is decorated in a European classical style with a warm flavor. The hotel is in a prime location, close to the river and a 10-minute walk from the train station, which is very convenient.

Really was pleasantly surprised by how good this hotel was. Comfortable clean rooms, clean towels, comfortable beds and duvets, super friendly front desk, and really great location. A special mention of the quality breakfast spread which I look forward every morning. Strongly recommended.

My wife and I stayed here to celebrate our anniversary, and the team made it truly special. When we walked into our room, we found chocolates and rose petals arranged on the bed, along with a complimentary bottle of wine. It was such a thoughtful touch, and we really appreciated the effort the staff put in to make our occasion memorable. The location is convenient, with easy access by bus, and there's a supermarket nearby for snacks and essentials. Thank you to the Ibis team for the warm hospitality.

This hotel stay was absolutely fantastic! Staying on the side facing Lake Lucerne meant we had stunning lake and snow-capped mountain views right from our balcony. The room was super clean and the service was excellent. Highly recommend!

Let's start with the positives: the hotel front desk staff were very enthusiastic and patient, and the breakfast was decent, with a relatively good variety for Europe. Now for the negatives: the room was quite small, and the soundproofing was a bit poor. The bed was also small, and the bathtub was a sit-down style, making it difficult to stand and shower. You could almost imagine it as a guesthouse-style room. However, considering the price here, I think it's acceptable.

Probably my experience at this Lucerne Youth Hostel branch wasn't the best — though it certainly wasn't bad either. I suspect that was partly because I was coming directly from their Zermatt branch, where I had an absolutely amazing stay. I should also mention something I forgot to include in my Zermatt review: at the Zermatt Youth Hostel, they offer the thoughtful option of a lunch box if you can't stay for breakfast the next morning. The cook there made me the best sandwich ever 😍, which I enjoyed after my hike to the Matterhorn — with a Matterhorn view, no less! I think that's such a wonderful gesture for travelers. I asked about a similar option at the Lucerne Youth Hostel, but they didn't offer it, which was a bit disappointing. The breakfast also lacked any fresh veggies 🥗. I hope they might consider implementing a lunch box service; I believe early-bird travelers would really appreciate it. On a positive note, I really appreciated that they had an iron available at the reception — that came in very handy. That said, I didn't find the facilities particularly comfortable or cosy overall.
