Good value.

A little way from the hub, but still well located, accessible by bus. Well appointed rooms. Staff friendly and good humour though seemed a little stretched at times, especially at breakfast to have enough food, crockery etc as needed. Overall good value for money.

Unfortunately this beautiful property with a beautiful view could only be reached by taxi or walking up a very steep hill from public transportation. No air conditioning,not enough plugs in room. Either TV or fan could be used. No place to plug in coffee maker. Promise of more plugs and better TV service coming in future.

Really nice hotel with fantastic views. It’s a bit dated but that did not stop our enjoyment. The tiny balcony could just fit three people on. We had a triple room with a bathroom and it was nice. It’s about a 10 to 15 minute walk from the centre of the town and there is a little bit of a hill towards the end but again no big issue and I don’t think even someone with mobility problems would have any issues here. The one thing that we had a bit of a smile about was we were one hour before the check-in time and they asked if we wanted to pay for an early check in for 30CHF which seemed a bit much. We declined.

Fabulous service and views.

From check-in and throughout the whole stay the service was excellent, friendly and attentive but without being overbearing. The views over the town and lake were wonderful, both from our room and the public terrace. It is walkable from the train station but be aware it is up quite a steep hill so using a taxi to get there may be useful, though consider Uber as they're half the price of the regular taxis. Location is great for getting around Lucerne with public transport a short 5-minute walk from the main road at the bottom of the hill from the hotel. Room was large, comfortable and clean but oddly ours didn't have a wardrobe and just 3 wall hooks, which wasn't a problem for us as only there 2 nights but maybe something worth checking if staying there longer and need wardrobe space.

This property was only a few blocks off the man tourist route but was quiet and relaxing. Best beds of six hotels during our trip. We loved the helpful service provided by the front desk clerk Adrian. It was nice to return to the scenic view from the veranda after a day of sightseeing.

Absolutely lovely lake views from the front facing rooms. The hotel has a simple business model (light on staff, no cooked meals, no room service ) which makes it an excellent choice if looking for an affordable but special place to stay. The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful.

The desk, when he heard us discussing how nice a glass of wine, offered to open the bar and provided us both wine and beer. The staff was very welcoming and supportive. Also, the facility, while very “experienced” was very well maintained. Great view from the individual patio,

An awesome hotel, great location, great staff that were so helpful. Two things I actually take the blame on missing would be no air conditioning and I thought when the listing had bed and breakfast and showed a dining area that looked to be set up for breakfast that they would offer breakfast…at least more than a croissant and espresso. They were good yes but was hoping for a more substantial breakfast even for a cost. Perhaps fans in the rooms?

check-in July 12 - 1 night stay - Nothing Royal - just the name - despite a great location and the kindless of Director who tried his best to accommodate our stay - we re-packed and left hotel after 1 hour - I surely waisted $ 270.00 but life is too short for a bad sleep - Property is in poor condition in need of major renovation - you can hear people next door (room) coughing talking even farting - it is unfortunate for the staff who is actually doing a great job - I was told that I would be contacted by upper Management - as of today ... no news. Life goes on : ) - I hope this info is useful for anyone planning trip to Beautiful Lucerne - Best, Alain

Overall we had a fine stay here. There are few things to note before booking that we wish we knew. Firstly the property is up a hill and about 7 min walk from the bus stop. In the heat it’s not the easiest walk (especially with luggage). The property is quite old, there is no air conditioning, and it seems no updates have been done since original construction. Our room was small and without basic amenities we expected for the price (no fridge, coffee/tea, safe for belongings). The bed and pillows were not comfortable. The walls are thin and you can hear everything happening in the hall and neighbouring rooms. The one upside was the staff were very nice and accommodating. Thankfully they were able to find us a fan for the room given the extreme heat. We would not be keen to stay here again but if you are low maintenance it would probably be fine for a short stay.

I’ll start by saying the staff were all friendly and helpful, very likeable people. The room we had was on the 4th floor on a corner facing the lake so having a panoramic view was pretty amazing and the small balcony to sit on was quite pleasant. The views of the lake and mountains were a delight. The bathroom was updated and well thought out. The main part of the room was roomy but dated and had some design issues that need rethinking. The bed is a split king meaning two twins shoved together but keeping them together was a challenge. Near the bed is an old style radiant heater that is large and takes up quite a bit of space and a mini fridge was placed in front of it which made no sense. The fridge would have fit better under the desk in the far corner but for some reason there was zero electrical plugins where that desk was so that would have been a problem there too. The coffee maker was place on that desk but needed to be moved somewhere to use due to the lack of an outlet for it at that desk. A large armoire took up an entire wall which was needed due to there being no closet and another table with sitting chair took up the remaining space. Overall a disfunctional room design and it lacked charm and the updating that was done for the bathroom. I recommend a remodeling of that room. We did the breakfast once and honestly while the food was decent, it was was not included with the room and was quite expensive. Convenient but not a good value for a basic selection.
