I had a fantastic stay at the hotel! The rooms were modern and fitted with all the comforts I needed, although they did get quite hot from the sun and building reflection. The location was exceptional, right across from the train station, making it super convenient. The dining experience was enjoyable with a good variety of food, although it's better to skip the breakfast and head to a cafe. Overall, a great value for money.

The hotel is in a prime location right across from the train station and walking distance to the Old Town, making it super convenient. The rooms, while spacious, were impacted by the noise from 'the loft' club on the fifth floor and the intense sun exposure. The service was friendly, but the bed comfort was similar to a thin IKEA mattress. The dining experience was enjoyable but not up to a 4-star level. Overall, a mix of positives and negatives.

The hotel's location was perfect for day trips with the kids and close to the train station and water, offering plenty of food options nearby. The rooms, although spacious and with a great Main Street view, felt outdated compared to the booking photos. The service provided a mix of trainees not being very friendly but also going above-and-beyond expectations. The dining experience was a bit overpriced and disappointing, although some dishes were good. The hotel's central access to Lucerne was convenient, but the price may not match the value offered.

The hotel is ideally located near the train station and subway, surrounded by shops and restaurants. The building facade is impressive, but noise from partygoers outside could be disruptive at night. The pleasant rooms offer modern comforts and excellent service, although some may experience heat due to sun exposure. Overall, the hotel offers value for money in an excellent Swiss location.

Wow, what a gem! The hotel rooms were incredibly spacious, modern, and had a fantastic view. Yes, there was some construction nearby, but it didn't bother me much. The service was top-notch, with staff going above and beyond to make our stay memorable. As for the location, it was super central right next to the main bridge and train station. The only downside was the noise, but the convenience made up for it. Dining could be improved, but the homemade pastries were a delightful touch.
