Top Lucerne Hotel Reviews

Waldstaetterhof Swiss Quality Hotel

8/10 Good

"So this hotel deserves the highest rating (perfect location - opposite the train station and 2mins walk into centre of town, room was modern, really large for Europe standards and very very clean, plus the staff were extremely friendly) but there’s one big issue - the hotel has no air conditioning so my overall recommendation would be to stay here anytime except July/August. We had large windows that opened, a pedestal fan and there is a basic air circulation system but the inside temp remained at an unbearable 27 degrees overnight which is a struggle after spending all day outside walking in 30 degree heat. Aircon is not common in Switzerland, older buildings would be costly to retro fit and they were having a heatwave but heatwaves now occur every summer and it’s unacceptable to not provide this basic comfort just as it would be deemed unacceptable to not have heating in the winter. Long term it will only be the hotels who offer aircon that guests stay at in summer."

Cascada Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Would definitely stay here again!"

Boutique Hotel Anker

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent breakfast and clean updated room"

Hotel Central Luzern

8/10 Good

"Loved the location, the staff, the room was clean but DANG no AC. We understand there are very little options when it comes to hotels in the area with AC. We should’ve done more research but if you want to be in a nice hotel in Lucerne then it’s priced well!"

Hotel Continental Park

10/10 Excellent

"All is good"

ibis budget Luzern City

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is a smaller boutique style building a very safe neighborhood. It has several metro stations nearby and from outside you can the Eifel Tower. There are many seasonably priced cafes and restaurants around the hotel. It is nice, clean, and safe. The staff is welcoming, breakfast was good, and everything was clean. I will stay here again and recommend it to my friends and family."

Hotel Des Balances

10/10 Excellent

"This is an amazing place, with perfect location to chapel bridge and 15 mins walk to Lion Monument. Air conditioning was working perfectly to beat the scorching heat and complementary ice creams ensured kids were staying cool. Amazing staff. Koina (may be butchering her name) was amazing server and Peter is a great bar tender. Also other staff, that I do not remember names are amazing. Hats off to the everyone working here and their friendliness to help us navigate the places around. Will stay here again when I visit."

Mandarin Oriental Palace, Luzern

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing property perfectly located. Very helpful and welcoming staff. Definitely worthy of the Forbes Travel Guide 5-star."

Radisson Blu Hotel, Lucerne

8/10 Good

"We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The location is excellent — it’s just a short walk from Lucerne train station and very convenient for getting to the Old Town and exploring the city. The breakfast was also very good and exactly the kind of breakfast I enjoy. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the overall service was great. One thing to be aware of: one side of the hotel is directly next to the train tracks, so if you are sensitive to noise, I would recommend requesting a room on the other side of the hotel. Overall, a very convenient and pleasant stay, especially because of the great location and service."
