Hotel berhampiran Das Kapuzinerinnen-Kloster St. Anna, Lucerne

I stayed at the Gasthaus Badhof for a week. I booked on the hotel website and got a special price for staying seven days in a row. The hotel is located in a quiet town five minutes by car from the centre of Lucerne. I went down walking to the city in less than an hour twice, walking along the edge of the lake to the city. There is a bus line -free for being a hotel guest- with a stop a few meters away, very convenient for the return, uphill. It is a one-story building with twelve very spacious rooms (50 m2). The architecture is very modern and the quality of the construction, facilities and furniture are excellent. The bathroom is integrated into the room, the shower is a very well built glazed hurna. Each room has a large covered terrace where you can admire the magnificent landscape: an nine-hole golf course and, in the background, Lake Lucerne and the Swiss Alps. You can walk or go jogging around. I had an underground parking space -with charging point for my electric car- with direct access to the room by elevator -no additional charge-. On the ground floor is the reception and the restaurant lounge with large windows to the golf and exit to sit outside. The breakfast is not of great variety -because the hotel is small- but it is served in a very correct way and with fresh products of very good quality. All the hotel staff and golf course caretakers are very friendly and professional. They are always willing to help and showing their best smile. I think it is an ideal place to stay to visit Switzerland staying in a real four-star hotel, modern, quiet, clean, discreet, convenient and reasonably priced.

We stayed at the Hermitage and it was a perfect choice for us. The hotel is away from the city center but the bus stop that takes you there is in front of the hotel entrance and you get to the city center in 15 mins tops. But staying here you get the most perfect unobstructed views to enjoy, and not even pedestrians walking in front of the hotel. It was just perfect. The room was clean and service was great. We would go back to this same hotel if we were to visit Luzern a second time.

I was really excited to start travelling after 2 years hiatus. I chose Switzerland as I had already made plans for the a 3 weeks trip in May 2020. I had to cancel it due to the COVID-19 pandemic. I picked Alpina Hotel in Luzerne due to its great loation and affordability. It is near many eateries and other attractions. I booked 2 rooms; 338 and 339. We get to enjoy the street view and marvelled at the beautiful building opposite our rooms. I noticed that the opposite building was built in 1537 [ need to confirm this ]. The street was generally quiet except in the mornings when rubbish trucks cleared did their cleaning. The room has simple layout and mine has 2 sinks in the living area. The bed and pillows area are comfortable. The bathroom is small but all items worked well. I did not see any staff at Alpina as most of them were based at the nearby sister hotel, The Monopol, which is located about 20m away. Checking in was fast and easy and it was done at Monopol. I was grateful for all the guidance and assistance provided by the receptionist. Alpina hotel is located about 110m away from Luzerne Train Station and it was relatively easy to find. My room ; 339 is bigger than 338. All in all, I had a really great experience staying in this hotel.

Positives * Helpful and quick remote service. They helped arrange our requested extra pillows before arrival. They also arranged to send us the Lucerne visitor pass by email two days before arrival. There were some spiders in the rooms that were quickly removed for us. We also had an issue with the air conditioner that was quickly fixed while we were out. * Attractive modern and practical design. * The organic bathroom amenities set by local brand is a nice touch. * There are supermarkets and shops nearby. You must try the freshly baked pastries from Aux Merveilleux de Fred in the morning. The chocolate cramique is delicious as it comes out of the oven. * We requested a quiet room and were assigned on the 5th floor. It was nice and quiet and we could easily access the room using the lift. To be improved: * A microwave would be great to heat up food. Placing one in the common laundry room could also help. * There were no instructions on how to use the electrical stove top and other equipment in the room. This info would be good to add in the Lubo app. * A sponge is provided in the kitchen but there is no dishwashing detergent. There are not enough additional dishes to make use of the dishwasher. A small dish drying tray would be useful in the kitchen too. * The mirror near the entrance needs lighting. The shower area is also too dark. * The body soap was not placed in the shower. It was in the kitchen instead. * The air conditioner made a strange noise from time to time. * The water pressure and temperature of the shower was not stable.

Quite a walk from the train station. Recommend to take the bus if you have the Swiss Travel Pass. Take the number 4 from the Bahnhof, gets off right after crossed the bridge at Brunigstrasse. The first day I am only with 2 people so stayed in a triple room. The Shower room is directly open up to the bedroom with only frosted glass and no curtain. And sink is IN the bedroom so would have no place to change cloths. I guess it makes sense for any couple but kindly of odd for triple. The second day a friend joined so we move to a family room with a proper washroom which is much more ”family friendly” The hotel serve breakfast at a very low and nice price (in Swiss terms). Get hot water free at the lobby but no boiler in the room. For the best it provides microwave oven, so can get food from nearby Denner if you are on a budget. Be sure to get in line early cause there will be people lining up at around 6.

We had a comfortable stay at Hotel Felmis. The room we stayed in was small but comfortable and had the very best air conditioner of all the hotels we stayed in during our vacation. We enjoyed the comfortable outdoor patio and the large complimentary breakfast during our stay there. The location of the hotel is right beside the bus stop, and it only takes about 10 minutes via the bus to get to Lucerne. Just overall a pleasant stay.

Really lovely hotel, spectacular view of Lake Lucerne. Very easy to get around - bus stop right in front of the hotel which made daily trips very easy. The staff were super friendly and accommodating. We had a very nice dinner at the restaurant, also with with an incredible view. Though this is an older property, the nice sized rooms, balconies w great views, and the grounds made this an incredibly charming and visually appealing spot to vacation. Would recommend to everyone!

We stayed here twice in July and August 2020 as a stopover on our way to Italy. The hotel is conveniently located at the Raststaette Neuenkirch. The noise of the highway is not troubling, especially not in the rooms located at the backside of the hotel. The rooms have no airconditioning, but a ventilator is provided and it is possible to open the windows, although not completely. The rooms were very clean and the staff friendly and helpfull. Views from around the hotel show mountains and countryside. Within a few kilometers, there is the Sempachersee which provided us with a refreshing swim after a long day of car travelling. The breakfast was fine. The price was fine in comparison with other hotels in Switzerland.

Sehr freundliches Personal, guter Service. Direkt am Wasser gelegenes Hotel. Zimmer könnten allerdings mal modernisiert werden.
