We stayed several years ago and we liked it so much we came back
Oh my gosh! What an excellent hotel! The balcony room with a view of the lake was amazing! Especially during Fastnacht!

If you’re looking for a hotel in Old Town with incredible views and close to everywhere, look nowhere this is the place for you!
PS: Irene at the FO was incredible!
I’ve stayed here many times and you can’t beat the location for visiting Luzern. The hotel as completed renovations on about half of the building and is underway with the rest. Never heard any of the workers or work being done. The new rooms are awesome. The design and cosmetic works are well done. You will enjoy this hotel. Its pricing is great and only an 8 minute walk to the train station.
Loved the view from our balcony. The shopping and restaurants were great. The staff were so kind and helpful. The bed provided for a great sleep as well. The Christmas Markets were also fun and really get you into the spirit.
The hotel is in a delightful location, we had a balcony room overlooking the old bridge. The staff were very helpful and the breakfast was lovely. Access to the hotel with a car is not easy and parking at the train station is expensive.
Excellent location! We got a balcony and spent few times sipping our coffee, nice views! Recommend if you are just for couple of days due to VERY SMALL ROOMS….
We enjoyed our stay at Des Alpes during our visit to Lucerne. The rooms are very clean and comfortable, the staff is multilingual and very friendly. The hotel is conveniently located near the old town, an area with shops and restaurants, riverside next to the chapel bridge and close to the train station. Breakfast is nice although the ticket system suits them more than the guests IMO. Recommend

Very quiet room on the city side of the hotel. Couldn’t ask for a more central location! Cash vouchers were really appreciated for the incredible on-site restaurant.
Had a lovely room with a balcony overlooking the Chapel Bridge. Breakfast credit given for sit down and order meal ( or equivalent credit for anytime in restaurant including drinks. - we liked this).
Great neighborhood and helpful desk staff.
We really enjoyed the property and the area around the hotel! The one thing to improve is the cleanliness for the rooms facing the river or to post notice about these rooms. My wife and I are very sensitive to cigarette smoke, and even though the room was smoking free, the smoke from smokers on ground level was able to get into the room through the window even when it was closed. My wife needed cough medicine because her allergic reaction got very bad. We would return to the hotel at a non river view next time in the future. Other than this, the location is great!
