Over priced for an outdated lobby and uncomfortabl
No one helped me with my suitcases up and down the stairs, which consisted of 10 steps in and out of the lobby. Upon entering the lobby, I was shocked by the appearance. I felt as if I was walking into a three star hotel it was dark and dated, and the reception desk looked like the reception desk of a three star hotel, very uninviting and not welcoming at all. All the pros of my stay were the customer service from the front desk staff when I checked in. and the size of my room which was a junior suite with a balcony was a nice. The AC did not work well and the bed was very very hard with no sheet or blanket. Just a heavy comforter I had a terrible night sleep but the room was a very hot with not proper bedding. I also went to enjoy the sauna and came out with no availability of water, so that was quite frustrating to be hot and thirsty, and have no water provided at all in the sauna area. I felt that for the price I paid it was very much an overpriced room.

Amazing Hotel with great facilities and wonderful staff. Service absolutely spot-on and everything worked well. Excellent position is Switzerland's best resort.
Oh what a tangle. One would have hoped that a 5* hotel would have sorted out the electrics and have plenty of Euro / Swiss and USB outlets in every room.

Lucerne Stay
Older hotel with lots of character. Has been modernized with AC, double sinks and a good shower! Perfect location too for all the site seeing. Can walk almost anywhere. We will stay here again if we come back to this part of Switzerland.

Terrible hotel not a 5 star
Bad hotel gave us the room late the shower knob to open the water was so hard my husband had to take a towel to turn it and took him a while I could never do it. Beside they don’t refill the coffee nor the sugar in the room and for water they don’t leave you water in the room and when I called they told me to drink from the tap. I know in Lucerne is clean drinkable water from the tap but this is suppose to be a 5 star hotel I don’t think this is a good answer to a guest. Anyway the hotel did not do a good job with us will not recommend it and will never go back there. There are plenty of good 5 star hotels in Lucerne

Great hotel with excellent service
Amazing hotel with true 5 star amenities and service. Location is great, a bit further away from the hustle and bustle of the old town but within a few minutes walking distance. Opting for the lake view rooms is definitely worth it. Staff was also fantastic, especially at the front desk. They went above and beyond was expected from them. The only thing that falls short of 5* is the Juliette restaurant (which also serves the breakfast). Several dishes don't taste as good as you would expect. For instance, my egg benedcits were severed as hard boiled eggs! (staff happily replaced the dish but i had to wait another 10-15min).
