Top Lucerne Hotel Reviews

Hotel Des Balances

10/10 Excellent

"Don’t look anywhere else. We had trouble getting to the hotel - they sent two staff members out to take our car to the parking garage and our luggage. The balconies overlooking the river were phenomenal. The bathroom ceiling has a star ceiling that lights up as a night light. I couldn’t say enough amazing things about this hotel. We should have stayed there longer."

Hotel Royal Luzern

10/10 Excellent

"A wonderful hotel! We booked a Lake Lucerne view room with a balcony, and the view was absolutely beautiful! The room was very clean and elegantly decorated. The staff were super friendly, and the breakfast was abundant!"

Hotel Continental Park

10/10 Excellent

"I think the property is well situated close to old town lucerne and shops and dining. The hotel has an adjacent restaurant which is great. The property is close to train if travelling by train and close to lake lucerne if you want to book a boat excursion. Staff was friendly and attentive to needs and suggestions of what to do. Great place would recommend"

Des Alpes Luzern

"The hotel is located in a very convenient spot, close to the train station, piers, historical places, and a beautiful view of the Chapel Bridge. The staff were lovely. Hotel provided F&B voucher which could be redeemed for any drink or meal at the hotel restaurant; my breakfast was well covered by it. 😀"

Astoria Lucerne

8/10 Good

"The area around the hotel was very noisy from an early time each morning. I became sick and needed a taxi to a doctor at the train station. The staff was unhelpful, assuring me no taxi would take me such a short distance. I could not stand up. I asked about an Uber and they suggested I try that. Unfortunately, the hotel WiFi was down. They did not care. I hobbled outside to city WiFi and caught an Uber. When I returned, my key card did not work. I asked for a new one at the front desk and was asked for my ID. Isn't in a lobby chair to find it and couldn't get up. Some time later the desk clerk took mercy and brought me a working key. I could not call the front staff caring or helpful."

Grand Hotel National

8/10 Good

"The concierge staff and housekeeping staff were exceptional. However, when we attempted to eat at the Juliett restaurant, we sat at our table for 20 or 25 minutes without even being offered a glass of water. As a result, we looked for meals outside of the hotel, which we would not have done otherwise."
