A wonderful stay.

This was a wonderful stay. We enjoyed spending evenings on our balcony overlooking the River. The free breakfast was delicious and plentiful. Our bed was comfy and the shower was a good size and easy to figure out. This hotel is located at the far end of old town, but it was very walkable. We loved the mill bridge and the Mühlenplatz area.

Great location. Beds are a bit too firm. The view from the balcony was great and the location was excellent

This is a comfortable hotel in the old town close to dining options and shopping. Staff were very helpful and compared to other accommodation options in Lucerne it was good value with breakfast included. The only negative was the internet did not work for either of us during our stay.
