Everything was great!! It’s 10 min walking far from the central station. Close to a lot of restaurants , but still in a quiet location. The employees are great and friendly ! Specially Patrick, who gave us really nice recommendations, like the boat tour at Lake Lucerne, which was spectacular!! The room qas very clean and comfortable. The twin bed for my stepson was separated from the double bed, providing more privacy for everybody for a very good price. The breakfast was really good! There was a variety of fruits, bread, cheese… also scrambled eggs and free coffee all day! There is also a laundry, but I didn’t use it! Super recommended stay!🥰

    The hotwl has a stunning position over looking the city and lake. It is breath taking. The interior design and comfort far exceeded my expectations. The service was professional and personal, unlike my usual visits to hotels like The Kulm and Sacher resort where I found the service fussy and unfriendly, overly invasive. They nail it here. I received a great welcome with a glass of prosecco and was really looked after in the bar and restaurant. It is simply a great place. I am already planning my return visit.

    This is a lovely quirky hotel. The rooms are odd shapes as its on a corner. The interior design is very colourful and different. The rooms are very well laid out, the beds are so comfortable and the shower is great. The breakfast has lots of choice. There is even fruit and gummy bears at reception! Location is perfect... 2 stops from train station, 5 mins walk to the river and old town.

    Breakfast was great, room was cute and there were many design elements in this cute boutique hotel. They even have a backpack for rent to guest in the room for moving about. Location is about 10 min walk from the train station and it's easily accessible by bus. Location is also close to the old town and city centre. Pretty much perfect on all aspects, would return again
