The hotel has a decent lobby with decent facilities, but the room size is very small, located on the 5th floor. The service was very helpful and friendly during the reservation phase, offering services like cleanliness. The location is wonderful, within walking distance of the city center and main attractions, though not close to Lucerne station but next to the center with easy access to a bus stop. The dining experience, except breakfast, was neat with good options. The facilities are satisfactory.
