The hotel has a unique charm, situated alongside an hospitality school, giving it an interesting vibe. The location is great, close to downtown, and the staff were genuinely nice and helpful in providing recommendations. However, the rooms felt a tad overpriced for what you get, especially the river view rooms, and the breakfast could use some improvement to match high expectations.
Rooms
7.0
The rooms with river views were quite pleasant, although a bit overpriced given the overall quality. The decor could use a refresh, but they were decent enough for a 3-star hotel.
Service
9.0
The staff provided exceptional service; they were friendly, helpful with local tips, and even accommodated us with a later checkout. They went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable.
Location
8.0
The hotel is conveniently located near downtown, making it easy to explore the area on foot, although it was a 15-minute walk from the train station which may not be ideal for families with kids.
Dining
6.0
The breakfast was decent with good choices, but often crowded and lacking some variety to truly stand out.
Facilities

The hotel had some useful amenities like a laundromat, which was valuable for us as a family, yet it could be better maintained.

The hotel offers a decent stay with an excellent breakfast buffet, and the staff goes above and beyond to assist guests. The location is quite central, making it convenient to explore the area. However, the presence of flying insects can be quite bothersome, and the rooms felt a bit smaller than expected for the price paid.
Rooms

The rooms were acceptable for a 3-star hotel but felt a bit cramped and were smaller than shown in the photos online. There was a nice view from the balcony, but the presence of cobwebs was disappointing.

The on-site laundromat was a convenient facility, especially for families traveling with children. However, more upkeep is needed in common areas.

I had a great stay at this boutique hotel, with excellent service saving our trip when we accidentally left our passports behind. The rooms were modern and clean, and the location was very convenient for exploring the Old Town. While breakfast was nice, there's room for improvement in certain areas. Overall, it was a positive experience, but some aspects like check-in could be more efficient.

The hotel offers a comfortable and clean stay with a lovely atmosphere and friendly service. The location is perfect for exploring the old town and nearby attractions, making it convenient for sightseeing. However, breakfast service could be improved as there were issues with food availability and responsiveness of the staff. Also, the presence of insects around the hotel was disappointing, detracting from the overall experience.
Rooms

The room with a balcony was lovely, clean, and comfortable, providing a great spot to relax and enjoy the view. The other room was quite small, and the shared corridor felt somewhat dingy, but overall the comfort was high.
Service

The service was generally very helpful and accommodating, especially during check-in and when needing assistance with laundry. However, the breakfast staff could have been more attentive.
Location

The hotel's location is excellent, just a short walk to the scenic old town and along the river. It's a peaceful area yet close enough to enjoy all the local attractions.
Dining

Breakfast had excellent choices, but on the second day, some items ran out and were not replenished, which was a letdown since I expected more from a hotel of this caliber.

The availability of a laundromat on-site was a huge plus for us, especially traveling with kids. However, the insect issue near the windows was quite bothersome.

I had a lovely stay at this boutique hotel, enjoying the serene atmosphere coupled with a great location near the river. The breakfast was exceptional, with an impressive variety that kept us satisfied every morning. Although the rooms were a bit on the smaller side, they were clean and comfortable, making for a pleasant retreat after exploring Lucerne. The experience was truly memorable, but I wish the check-in hours were a bit more flexible.
