This hotel does not have air conditioning. It has a cooling system that barely kept the room cool. We came in the summer and it was unbearable at night. On top of this two of the four rooms we reserved the cooling system did not work at all. The lobby and rooms were tiny with barely any space. Only good thing was the location. Very close to restaurants and metro.

We were disappointed at the amenities and quality of the room we received for the price we paid. The room was extremely small and very poorly designed. We were interrupted by housekeeping mid-morning where they knocked once and then entered without being granted entry/waiting to hear whether someone was in.

Ok hotel.
Air conditioning did not work, reached out to hotel staff 2x and they claimed it was fixed. Our last night the air conditioner was blowing hot air. Asked for a remedy and nothing was provided.

I didn't know there was a visitor pass for tourists until I came to Lucern, and the hotel where I am staying just offered me this. Since i'm not paying taxes in Switzerland, i was given a ticket to have all transportation being covered for free! - Becausebof this im feeling a bit disappointed that I wasn't told by the staff at the hotel in Zurich. Also, i didnt like that every single night I stayed at the hotel my card was always deactivated, which it made me feel like an intruder every day. So every night I had to go to the reception to activate my card. Other that this, the hotel was clean, the decoration is great and also the location.
