Wonderful

We did a self-planned Christmas Markets tour in 2024. Because we were travelling by train, our first criteria in finding a hotel was to be close to the train station so we would not need to drag our luggage a great distance. This location was perfect. Th hotel was great, staff was extremely attentive, breakfast was very good. Highly recommended.
The hotel was a disappointment. We couldn’t stay for anymore than 1 night. We had paid for 3 nights, and when I asked if they would waive the fee for the remaining 2 night, we were told NO. Despite this, we left the hotel.
The room sizes are extremely small, so much so you can’t open your suitcase fully. The walls are paper and can hear the people in the room next door talking and those on the floors above walking, jumping etc.
The bed linen was clean, however the pillows were dusty as was the floor. The soles of white hotel slippers (not supplied) went black after about 5 minutes. The bathroom towels were thin, coarse and small. There were no amenities other than soap and toilet tissue. I would recommend you stay at the Monopol if you are after a central hotel with large rooms and great service.
Location is great. Breakfast was good and the service by the hotel personnel was excellent, but the absence of personnel in the reception during the night gave us uncomfortable feeling in case one needs these services.
Good location, surrounded by nice architecture. Clean, room was a bit small with a single bed but adequate and comfortable. Wi-fi great, breakfast facilities good and reception very friendly and helpful.
We loved this property. The staff was super friendly. Rooms were spotlessly cleaned. Breakfast was delicious. The location was ideal and walkable to all parts of the city.
We really enjoyed our two night stay here. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The hotel is so convenient to everything to see in the old town. We could walk to everything and could pay to park the car in a space at the front of the hotel during our stay. This was a much cheaper option to the nearby parking stations. They also had a service to have clothes washed and returned same day at a nearby laundry which was very helpful for us. Would definitely stay again if I visit Lucerne again
We stayed 2 nights. The room was little smaller however very clean property with excellent breakfast. It is walking distance from the train station and walking distance from old city!
Great property! Clean, comfortable, nice room. Staff are friendly, hospitable, accommodating. Excellent location, short walking distance to train station, attractions, shopping, restaurants. Will highly recommend to friends and family.
Had a great stay. Property was pretty near the main station. Really convenient. There are lots of food options and supermarkets nearby too.
Left my scarf in the room when i checked out. Managed to get it back when i went back to collect my luggages.
