This was a clean hostel which is very new. We had a share bathroom facility which was ok but you do get a sink and mirror in your room if you are in twin/double accommodation like we were. You do have a walk about 20mins before you get to a train station to get into the city. Overall though good...

The room in Anger: old, poorly lit, no internet, shower has only one temperature (too hot!), toilet flush didn't work very well. Hotel Alpha, on the other hand, would have been a really a good bargain. It's clean (general appearance as I didn't see the room), easy to find, and the staff are very helpful. But please remember to call and confirm your booking beforehand.close

Very good location close to rail station - easy 10 minute walk and in quite locality. Close to old city etc. Fun is not what is offering as it is hotel not a hostel so meeting other travellers not so easy.

VERY good value for money. My husband and I spent 4 nights at this hotel and we never had to make use of public transport to get to the town centre due to the good location of the hotel. We also had a lovely view from our room and the room was cleaned on a daily basis. The shared bathrooms... more VERY good value for money.

We came soaked in the rain at around 7PM and the receptionist was not even concerned about us. There was a lot of attitude at the reception counter. This made us feel alienated and unwelcomed. The heaters weren't working but the only good thing was that our separate bathrooms were pretty clean.

Walking distance to the center of Lucerne. Rooms quite clean and hotel was a good bargain at this price. Only thing to remember is to call ahead to reserve a parking spot. We ended up paying to park on the street overnight.
