3 Stars Hotels in Canton of Lucerne, Switzerland

Here are a few points of feedback: Friendly Staff: The staff were generally friendly and polite. When I arrived at the hotel earlier than the check-in time, the staff provided space for storing my luggage. Comfortable Accommodations: The room I stayed in was generally comfortable and clean, providing a decent level of comfort during my stay. However, there were a few minor maintenance issues that could be addressed, such as the brightness of the light. Also, the spray at the toilet did not function properly. The dining options at the hotel were satisfactory. While the meals I had were tasty, I felt that there could have been a bit more variety in the menu offerings, especially for guests staying for an extended period.

I was really excited to start travelling after 2 years hiatus. I chose Switzerland as I had already made plans for the a 3 weeks trip in May 2020. I had to cancel it due to the COVID-19 pandemic. I picked Alpina Hotel in Luzerne due to its great loation and affordability. It is near many eateries and other attractions. I booked 2 rooms; 338 and 339. We get to enjoy the street view and marvelled at the beautiful building opposite our rooms. I noticed that the opposite building was built in 1537 [ need to confirm this ]. The street was generally quiet except in the mornings when rubbish trucks cleared did their cleaning. The room has simple layout and mine has 2 sinks in the living area. The bed and pillows area are comfortable. The bathroom is small but all items worked well. I did not see any staff at Alpina as most of them were based at the nearby sister hotel, The Monopol, which is located about 20m away. Checking in was fast and easy and it was done at Monopol. I was grateful for all the guidance and assistance provided by the receptionist. Alpina hotel is located about 110m away from Luzerne Train Station and it was relatively easy to find. My room ; 339 is bigger than 338. All in all, I had a really great experience staying in this hotel.

Fair deals specially living in Swiss, 2mins walks from the station and hotel will provide you a free daily travel ticket that you won’t need to move your car to the Lucerne city centre. Parking lots just opposite of the hotel and have discount to Euro15/day during your stay. Staff is friendly, but breakfast has a large room of improvement.

Friendly staff who gave recommendations during check-in. Hotel was a short walk and train ride to central Lucerne. There was no aircon in the room and a fan was provided. Weather was cool when we were there so not an issue. Mountain view from the room. Would stay again!

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?)

The room was clean and spacious and beds were decent. Breakfast is at Hotel de la Paix and has an excellent spread. Good choices available for vegetarians too. Location is great- walking distance to the station, lion monument and the Chapel bridge. Now coming to the not so great parts: 1) At the time of booking, I did not notice that the room has no air conditioning. Please check that before you book. Travelers from the US assume air conditioning is available everywhere. The room temperature was okay after left the window open (but that exposes you to the noise from the street below) 2) The bathroom exhaust did not work well. Not acceptable in my opinion. 3) The Hotel does not have anyone at the reception. The reception is at Hotel de la Paix which very close (apparantly the two hotels have a commmon management). This is a slight inconvenience

Centrally located in a quiet street in the city centre near the main train station ; stylish renovation of the hotel and functional kitchenette in the room I stayed (can you imagine there is a dish washer in the room ?😂and every day the housekeeper used it for our dirty dishes); laundry room on the first room and cozy cafe on the ground floor; reasonable price considering a Swiss standard; overall, excellent (input the confirmation number from trip.com and your name when you need to do the self check in at the entrance indoors; the door is closed and looks locked but actually you can open it 😂) ; will book it again when coming here in Luzern again ) 👍

Great location, near train station, Old Town and Lake Lucerne. Our room was spacious and well maintained. The bed was comfortable. Front desk was pleasant and helpful. You should book a quiet room since the rooms facing the street can be noisy. My only criticisms were that they did not have a fan available for the room on our first night, which is very strange considering the hotel does not have air conditioning. Also, the the bathtub walls were high making it difficult to use. The bottom of the tub was slippery. It needed either rubber *****s or a mat.

Environment: Although the room is small, it is well-equipped Location: Very convenient, five minutes' walk from the train station, very good location It was very quiet to sleep at night, the bed was soft, and the shower was very comfortable. Breakfast is ok

This is basically a hostel with a private bath. Pictures are accurate but EXTREMELY misleading. The lobby is just a tiny hall behind a locked door when the restaurant next door isn’t open. The restaurant is not associated with the hotel. The self check in did not send a code. A restaurant employee had our information to help check us in. The couple ahead had a code and took them 10 minutes to get their room key which comes out of a machine. You must climb a narrow winding staircase with your luggage to get to the 1st floor with a strange commercial type elevator. 2 rooms per floor. Front or back. We had back which was 5 feet from another building whose lights stayed on all night. No AC so Very very Hot and we had to open windows and run extremely noisy (as loud as a blender) tiny fan so bright light shined in all night and the room remained hot. Bathroom shower leaked water under the door to wet the entire floor in the bathroom. Card key in slot keeps electricity on. When leaving room, take out key and no power. Therefore refrigerator isn’t working to keep anything cold. Location is great and on a square. Nice bakery across the street for coffee and croissants in the morning. So unless you are a student with little money, AVOID! It really was quite dreadful!!!!! We stayed mid September 2023. Booked through **********.

We absolutely adored our time at this hotel, and I would definitely recommend it, especially due to the cheaper price in comparison to other hotels in Lucerne. We stayed in room 311, and it was exactly like the photos and what we expected. Very clean and staff are really nice (they even gave us a little lucky stone on check out!) Breakfast was open from 6 am till 10 am, which was perfect for us as we had to get up earlier for our flight home. It consisted of scrambled egg, bacon, and sausages, as well as having a range of cereals such as cornflakes and bread with a toaster. Plenty of drinks - orange juice and apple juice - as well as a range of hot drinks. WiFi was also great and worked well however, we did have to reconnect each time we left the hotel and came back, but this wasn't an issue for us. This was the perfect stay for us for our 4 nights in Switzerland as we used Lucerne as a base city whilst exploring other places that were all a train journey away. Hotel is about a 5 minute walk from the train station and maybe around 10 minutes or a bit less depending on how fast you walk from the main shopping strip. Only problem I had was I found it difficult to wash my hair as there was no moveable shower head to get the shampoo out my hair😂 other than that everything was perfect and we loved our stay in Switzerland!🥰

The hotel is very cosy and I felt there really good. The hotel staff was friendly and very helpful. When I arrived they showed me everything in the hotel and explain me the important thing. I totally recommend for solo travelers. The room and shared bathroom was kept tidy and cleaned. The breakfast was really delicious. The hotel location is also perfect. From the hotel you can walk around and you are everywhere close to the nature. For me it was very pleasant stay. Thank you for everything. And I hope I will come back again :)

We arrived on the 20th of June - a family member also traveling with us booked this for us. The „not so friendly Lady on the reception did. her job - but nothing more than that - no smile no friendly word - she did nothing more than register and hand out the keys - like a robot. We had a room on the 2nd floor - while 30 degree Celsius outside, the hallway in the second floor probably had 35 in the room, I would guess, we had at least around 32 degree. Right away my wife went and organized a radiator (the „robot“ said that these should have been in the rooms already… no they weren‘t. When it cools down at 9:30 we tried to open the window - a sticker said: be careful…children… might be opened completely - no, they‘re not - went down again to the reception - nobody there - „robot“ probably went for inspection. „But when you call 930 we are right there for you!“ Did that right away - nobody picked up the phone - until the occupied tone appeared. Another try from the room‘s phone - same result, another try 5 minutes later same result. We had a though to sleep in the A/C Car but you can’t even use the room for charging your digital equipment - when you leave with the key, power is cut. When you’re leave without the key, no service desk available to let you back in after 9:00pm. We also payed a visit to the nearby restaurant. Not recommended to eat there - they open at 6:00am and when you go there at 8:00pm the salad bar seems to be there since 6:00am - quite some flies around - the other food presented wasn’t worth it - seem to be the “rest from today” menu. The coop super market is good, the playgrounds in the surroundings where pretty entertaining for the kids. Oh, almost forgot: when checking in, you get a 10% off voucher for Burger King in the neighbourhood! Wi-Fi is free at an acceptable transfer rate. Holiday Express: Thanks but NO thanks!

Very, very good hotel! All staff is super helpful and friendly, from the purt ladies to the reception. If you miss breakfast, they put a lunch bag ready! I have never experienced that in another hotel. Rooms are clean and modernly furnished. 24/7 Free coffee and water and a small snack bar in the breakfast room. And as if it's not enough - the parking space in the deep garage is also free! 5/5 come back next year :) Thank you.

We gathered our whole family together for a little celebration and went to the Sonne Seehotel in Eich on the Sempachersee. March is not the best time of year to make the best of the surroundings or the lake, but we all enjoyed ourselves nonetheless. Not least due to this hotel which turned out to be a perfect venue for a family get together. The rooms are sufficiently spacious with all the modern amenities and a very comfortable bed. Make sure to book a lake view room which affords a lovely view of Lake Sempach, even on a somewhat grey March weekend. We were catered to most attentively throughout our stay. In the lively restaurant, the staff is evidently accustomed to families with young children. A complete menu for just about every taste is provided and the food is excellent. If you are interested is trying local dishes, try the Balchenfilets, a wonderfully tasty fish from the lake. The wine list is surprisingly extensive, including many Swiss, Italian, French and Spanish wines, without being too high end. Again, if you are into trying local wines, as we are, select the Pinot Gris from the Brunner winery in Eichberg just close by. The surprisingly extensive and delicious breakfast buffet should also get a mention. So, in all, we spent a wonderful weekend in the Sonne Seehotel as a whole family, but I could also recommend going there as a couple. Finally, I must give a round of applause to the most attentive and friendly staff in this hotel. My wife and I have stayed in many hotels around the world, but rarely have I encountered such a consistently helpful and friendly staff.

Self-check-in und doch nicht alleine. Super Konzept. Wir haben falsch gebucht und waren zum falschen Tag angekommen. Der Koch war vor Ort und hat uns geholfen. Ansonsten wäre jederzeit jemand per TEL erreichbar. Funktionelle, saubere Zimmer. Abendessen mit Einfacher kleiner Karte, die jedoch für jeden Geschmack, was drauf hat. Gutes, frisches Essen mit schöner Weinauswahl und ausgezeichnetem herzlichem und raschem Service. Frühstück gut.
