Cheap Hotels in Lucerne

"Front desk lady was very helpful. She explained us everything patiently. Gave us a map of the city, recommended us best spots. This hotel offers visitor card for the area, that you can use to commute for free in the local area."

"The room size was decent, clean, and tidy, with daily housekeeping. The location is excellent, right next to the train station, and very close to attractions like the Covered Bridge and the Octagonal Tower. There's also an art museum directly opposite, featuring works by masters like Picasso and Renoir. The staff were very helpful and enthusiastic when assisting with luggage storage."

"The location next to old town. The famous bake cheese pie is just in front of hotel. Receptionist was kind. If you arrived before checked in and storage the luggage with them. They will put luggage in your room after you checked in the luggage already in your room. Definitely come back and stay again."

"Self check-in is only available from 3:00 PM, but there's free luggage storage. There's a COOP shopping center downstairs, which is very convenient. The air conditioning works well and the water quality is great. It's also within walking distance to the train station and Lake Lucerne."

"Great hostel that operates with hotel-style services. Just across the road, there's a Coop supermarket and plenty of food options nearby. The room was spacious, and it even had a large balcony with a table and chairs. Towels were changed daily, and the room was cleaned every day. The shower area came with shampoo and other amenities, which was a nice touch. Breakfast was all-you-can-eat and had everything you'd expect. Highly recommended!"

"First off, the location isn't too far from Lucerne train station. We had a Swiss Pass, so we could take the bus for free. We rode one stop, got off, crossed a road, and turned left – super convenient! Many bus routes pass by, and Chapel Bridge is just a walk away. The hotel upgraded us to a deluxe double room, which was much larger. There was plenty of space for luggage, and it didn't feel cramped at all. The room was clean, and they provided two large bottles of water daily, which was enough for our needs. Everything was great, and the only reason I didn't give full marks was the extra tax charged, as others have mentioned. Initially, the front desk staff was polite. When I showed them my booking confirmation, pointing out that the tax on the order differed from what I actually paid, they looked at it for a while, then unhappily replied, 'I don't know.' I ended up contacting Ctrip customer service. They told me they'd contacted the hotel but couldn't negotiate. Finally, Ctrip customer service said they would compensate the difference with points, which arrived quickly – kudos to Ctrip! Many people have brought up this tax issue, and I'm not sure where the problem lies. Other hotels in Switzerland charged exactly what was stated on the booking. Only this hotel charged differently. Although it wasn't a lot of money, it felt a bit uncomfortable. Also, someone mentioned a 100 CHF deposit per day, which they indeed charged. When I checked out, I specifically asked when it would be refunded, and the front desk said the same day, which it was. In Lucerne, there's a Chinese restaurant called No. 8 that serves delicious Chinese food, completely authentic to domestic tastes. The owner is also very nice and polite."

"The Spanish restaurant downstairs is definitely worth trying, especially in a country like Switzerland where good food can be hard to find. I recommend booking a room with breakfast; it's very refined and includes freshly made omelets. It's less than a ten-minute walk to the train station, which is quite convenient. After check-in, they email you a guest card that allows free rides on the city buses. Overall, I would still recommend it."

"The location is incredibly convenient, right next to the train station. Downstairs, there's a McDonald's and a Starbucks, and it's close to the bridge for easy access to boats heading to Mount Rigi. The only downside was the curtains didn't block out much light, so the room was quite bright at night. The evening I stayed, Spain won their semi-final match, and the street below was filled with fans honking horns and celebrating, which was a bit noisy."

"Location: About a ten-minute walk to the station, or there's a bus stop just a 2-minute walk away with frequent buses that take you directly there in three stops – very convenient. It's also just a few minutes' walk to the Splosht Bridge and easy to walk to the lively Old Town. Service: The front desk staff were very friendly, and there were complimentary drinks in the lobby until 5 PM. Room: We stayed in a top-floor room with a balcony that offered a great view. However, there was no air conditioning, but they provided two fans and a kettle. The only downside was that the bed was quite poor and sagged a bit, which is a definite negative. Breakfast: We stayed for three days. On the first day, which was a Saturday, there was smoked salmon and melon, but these weren't available on the subsequent two days. Generally, there were scrambled eggs, various cold cuts and cheeses, bread, and a coffee machine where you could get a cappuccino. The female staff member at breakfast (wearing glasses) was particularly efficient, quietly doing a lot of work and very polite – she's a real asset. Overall, I'd give breakfast an 80%. Summary: Very good, exceeded expectations."

"The hotel has a very cozy overall feel. The rooms aren't huge, but they're clean, and there's plenty of hot water. Breakfast was a highlight. It's close to Florence's main district, making it convenient for sightseeing, and the Ponte Vecchio isn't far either. Overall, a good experience!"
