This is a notch above a hostel. Told historic building can not have AC. Interior was renovated - looks like IKEA, felt like I was sleeping in the attic. Dyson fan useless, entered room to find balcony doors closed, no air no screen. Remnants of dead mosquito on wall. Told this was nicest room- beautiful view of river & Chapel bridge, very close to train. When asked for robes & slippers told this is not a spa hotel, no shower cap instructed to go to store & buy it. If you are planning a visit in warm weather you will be miserable. I am well travelled but never encountered such rudeness on top of basic things being provided. Even the vouchers for breakfast if you order anything more than continental breakfast which is the only item that comes with unlimited coffee actually means 1 refill you will be charged exorbitantly
So close to train station and so central to old town. Easy to find. Good room and window could open and room had fan. Front desk was wonderful. Breakfast was geeay
WOW I mean the views from this place cannot be beat. You absolutely MUST request a river facing room (you can see the beautiful snow capped mountains of Pilatus on a clear day). It is worth every penny. Additionally, your stay gets your a visitors pass with discounted rates on transport throughout the city. The staff was incredibly helpful and kind as well. We will DEFINITELY be coming back!
Wonderful trip! The receptionist was amazing! She was very sweet and helpful. She took our picture when we were looking out from our balcony. We had an excellent room with amazing views of chapel bridge. It appears as though they updated the rooms and were continuing to do so. Very happy with the hotel and our room!
We enjoyed our stay very much. We enjoyed a well-appointed room, comfy beds, and a beautiful view overlooking the lake and river. The surrounding mountains are majestic and the town remarkably quaint considering its popularity. April is an excellent month for a visit to Lucerne.
Positives- Des Alpes Lucerne is in a great location! You can walk to the train station, boats and buses. It is in the center of the food/shopping district and looks out over the iconic bridge. The restaurant is also very good!
Negatives- really needs an update, mattresses and pillows uncomfortable. Room layout could be changed to have a bigger bathroom. Right now the shower is a very tight corner unit with handheld shower- not a fan. Furniture was sparse, uncomfortable and outdated. No AC or screens in the windows to keep mosquitoes out. Overall, we enjoyed the view and location, but for the $$ would like some comfort as well.
I had a great 3 night stay here! The front desk staff is extremely sweet and helpful. It was the perfect location, and very quiet even though it is right in the center of town! The only negative about the room is the heat doesn’t work that well. I am vegan and unfortunately the restaurant only offers vegetarian options, please consider adding a few vegan options especially for people with allergies! Overall I loved my stay here and I would definitely recommend it to others.
This property was in an excellent location! Very walkable and great views. The staff was also very kind. A couple of things that hold this property back is the super small and old elevator that seems like it could give out any minute. Another thing is the stale cigarette smoke that lingered throughout the hotel even with the doors shut and being in an non smoking room. And lastly, instead of breakfast being included they give you a voucher of £18.50 / person to go to their restaurant. It wasn't a bad breakfast but definitely not worth the price they have. Also to note- the bathroom is SO small. It feels like the bathroom is an old closet and they just shoved everything in and called it a day.
