I hope I could stay at Des Alpes again because it was the perfect place for me and my family to enjoy Lucerne. The view from the balcony couldn’t be beat. The food at breakfast was delicious. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly. The price was reasonable as well.

We had a room overlooking the covered bridge and canal. Very scenic. A deck would have been nice, but I think we would have paid more for a deck. Lucerne is absolutely stunning.

Excellent hotel on the river overlooking Chapel Bridge. Breakfast is very good with many choices on the menu. The hotel provided vouchers of $18.50 per person that we used for breakfast. The restaurant is on the river level with outside dining option. Best to buy excursions (like boat trips on Lake Lucerne) directly at the pier. The hotel does have an up charge.

Terrible place to stay!
I spent a little extra money to book a top floor romantic room for our 25th anniversary trip 6 months ago. We were hot & tired when we arrived on August 15, 2024 looking forward to a hot shower & cool room. The room was locked up tight. No air conditioning. It was the worst hotel we stayed at the entire 15 day tour. We couldn’t relax, we hardly slept the entire night. I told the young lady at the front desk the next morning what an awful night we had and we wanted to cancel our second night. She was cocky, stuck up, she only cared about the dollar. She couldn’t care less about our discomfort. She absolutely wouldn’t cancel our second night, (because “our website tells you we don’t have air conditioning” (no matter that I booked it 6 months ago!) They’re website certainly did not take the time to explain that the high floors facing south get beat with the hot August sun! This is an awful place to stay during the hot summer months! And awful customer service skills by the hot shot young lady! Disclaimer: There was a senior hostess at the counter when I requested to cancel our second night. She offer me two extra meal vouchers. I do appreciate her effort for customer satisfaction.

The hotel is in the heart of the city and very walkable. The staff were friendly and helpful. The restaurant was delicious and the vouchers were generous enough to cover a hearty breakfast. But I would encourage anyone considering a stay to head others’ warnings about the hotel temperature. It is *unbearably* hot inside the rooms in the summer. While opening doors is possible, we found that rooms with a bridge view receive direct sunlight and were quite noisy at night. I wished I had booked elsewhere. That being said, I can see how staying here in other seasons would be a comfortable and convenient experience.

If you love spending $300 to stay in a room that is 30 C or 88 degrees F with incredibly rude staff this is the place for you! Staff could not have been more rude - go find somewhere else to stay.

The perfect ending to our swiss vacation. The room was clean and had a balcony overlooking the Chapel Bridge. Breakfast at the hotel was very good. The location is walking distance to the Lion Monument, shops, restaurants and the train station. We were able to leave our luggage after checkout to explore the town.

Excellent location! Easy to find after leaving the train station, walking distance to everything. We had excellent meals at the hotel restaurant too. Front desk was very helpful in booking Pilatus tour and even gave us an amazing recommendation for dinner in the new town. No AC in the room but there is a little fan which was helpful. Room was clean and tidy.

They didn't have ac and their fans were inadequate. We had the windows open and were up in the top floor so that helped and didn't get any mosquitoes.

Very nice room! The bed and pillows were wonderful and the bathroom was modern and everything was super clean. In case it makes a difference: the rooms are quite small as are most European hotel rooms, and there's no air conditioning. The room comes with an adjustable Dyson fan, which was perfect. The restaurant has great food, too,although if you choose to sit outside that's where all the smokers sit. There are many people in Europe who smoke and this may annoy American non-smoking travelers.The hotel's location can't be beat- right on the river, just a 2 minute walk to the train station. I will come back in the future!
