Hotels near Playground Metteln, Kriens

Amazing hotel near Luzerne train station. Many bakery nearby. Hotel staff was friendly and kind, provided toiletries and water. Breakfast was simple but good enough to start the day. Very short walk to the old town area which was great!

The location is perfect, you can even go back to your room to rest after taking the cable car from the University of Zurich (right next to the drop-off point). After entering the hotel, there is a small staircase to the counter. If you have large luggage, you need to carry it a short distance. There is no hot water kettle in the room, but fortunately I brought it myself. The bed is comfortable and the bathroom is clean. It is easy to get the toilet paper next to you wet when you shower in the rain, so you have to pay attention to it. I like the atmosphere of breakfast, the food is delicious and the staff is friendly☺️

Positives * Helpful and quick remote service. They helped arrange our requested extra pillows before arrival. They also arranged to send us the Lucerne visitor pass by email two days before arrival. There were some spiders in the rooms that were quickly removed for us. We also had an issue with the air conditioner that was quickly fixed while we were out. * Attractive modern and practical design. * The organic bathroom amenities set by local brand is a nice touch. * There are supermarkets and shops nearby. You must try the freshly baked pastries from Aux Merveilleux de Fred in the morning. The chocolate cramique is delicious as it comes out of the oven. * We requested a quiet room and were assigned on the 5th floor. It was nice and quiet and we could easily access the room using the lift. To be improved: * A microwave would be great to heat up food. Placing one in the common laundry room could also help. * There were no instructions on how to use the electrical stove top and other equipment in the room. This info would be good to add in the Lubo app. * A sponge is provided in the kitchen but there is no dishwashing detergent. There are not enough additional dishes to make use of the dishwasher. A small dish drying tray would be useful in the kitchen too. * The mirror near the entrance needs lighting. The shower area is also too dark. * The body soap was not placed in the shower. It was in the kitchen instead. * The air conditioner made a strange noise from time to time. * The water pressure and temperature of the shower was not stable.

We enjoyed our stay at Hotel de la Paix. The room was comfortable but rather small. The staff were helpful. No tea/coffee in the room and no machine in public area. (I know it is not so common in Switzerland, but why not, when even the cheapest UK hotel can do it?)

First, the location is beautiful. The hotel is clean and tidy, and the staff very friendly. It's a wonderful place to stay. We used this location as a base to explore the region. It's very quiet and there's not much traffic on the roads at any time (except around Zurich in rush hour). You do need a car here as there's nothing to do in the area. They'll charge you 20 Francs a night for parking. As we stayed for 7 nights they charged a max free of 100 Francs. Not too bad I suppose. The downside is the bedroom. The lighting is dreadful. There's also no air con. They did supply a fan to blow the air around which did help a bit. There's a sensor in the bathroom that detects movement and comes on. The decorative shelving had more light than the rest of the bathroom. Perhaps 3 candles would have been better. The shower has plenty of power and hot water but as it's placed over the bath it hardly keeps the water in. It's a job to stop soaking the floor. The lighting in the main room is dreadful too. We didn't have a lake view which was our choice but we didn't expect to be in full view of other residents either. There was a blind that you could use to add screening and shelter from the sun, but it seemed to have a mind of its own. Sometimes it wouldn't go down, other times it would but then go up again without warning.

I tried to get to 4 out of 5, but need to be honest. The hotel isnt responsible for the view and the view makes up for a lot of negatives in the hotel. Check in was friendly and quick and we had the key to our room on the 4th floor no more than 5 minutes after we arrived. Parking was a bit of a search because we arrived on a sunday during lunchtime and apparently this is a popular time to have lunch at that hotel. The room we got is on the 4th floor and is a standard room with lakeview. The room is very tiny! Washbasin is in the room and the shower and toilet are separate but really tiny space too! If you are with 2 and you have your luggage then the room is completely filled up and no space to store anything. There is a ventilator, but no airconditioning. But thats OK. we could open the window and the fresh breeze over the lake came into the room. But also the mosquitos! So maybe they can place some mosquito net in front of the window? There is a watercooker in the room, but with a very short powercord, so the only place where we could use it was on the washbasin, but that was not very stable. The bed was not comfy, hard and the pillows are non existent. The wifi was good and fast! Then breakfast. It was a ”buffet”, but it was very limited. Some bread you need to cut yourself, thats OK, but with Covid? And the rest was just some cheeses and meats, some sweet things and thats it. Coffee was from a machine and juice from a tap. It was ok, but not really memorable. We didnt have dinner here because we read some reviews and watched what other guests ordered and compared prices and we decided not to do it. Check out was not really check out, it was just paying the bill and thats it. The desk agent didnt ask how our stay was or wasn't interested at all. So all in all too much things I dont like about a hotel at this price level. The views and location is priceless thats true. But it was like that the hotel is managed without passion. Thats a bit sad.
