Amazing stay! Location is superb. Staff are so friendly and helpful and continental brekkie was best I had in any hotel.
Great location, friendly staff and delicious breakfast. Rooms were a bit smaller than we anticipated and the shower was fairly small. Overall, a very comfortable experience and a perfect short walk to the train station with luggage and all!
Great location to central train station, markets and city attractions. Room is not big, but is clean. The staff is friendly, helpful and professional. Especially the lounge is available 24/7, offers coffees, tea and fruits, really give a homey feeling and convenience. Really enjoy the stay.

Check was easy and staff was super helpful. Room was clean but small. Breakfast was good.
The hotel is well situated, walking distance to old Lucerne (5 min) walking distance to Lucerne Central train station 5 min). Very convenient at the center of everything.
Nice breakfast spread, access to free coffee and tea all days as well as water.

Modern, clean, excellent location, well thought out. Lovely breakfast.
We loved our stay at Hotel Central Luzern! The front desk staff was so helpful, gave great tips and recommendations! The hotel is a five minute walk or less from the train station, and easy to find! The room is clean, beds and comforters were amazing! We would stay again for sure!
Ideal location - the hotel is a 5 min walk from the train station. The hotel is very clean, staff are helpful and breakfast is excellent. Highly recommend
Excellent accomodating staff - informative when I asked for tours, hop on hop off bus - didn’t have but had a little train - best money spent, was cheap, informative & for someone who has walking mobility issues was excellent
Even had the extra 4 x pillows I asked for to sleep
Loved the whole experience with this property
Wish all of Europe locations had something like this near train -5-8 min walk away
But great concept
Great room
Excellent location so close to train & in the heart of all attractions, old city, food & shopping
Made our experience magical
Great breakfast,
Anytime tea, coffee, microwave & fridge in communal dining area
Great concept always clean & maintained
