Estancia cómoda, pero grave problema de seguridad.
Pros:

El hotel es cómodo, las instalaciones son agradables y la ubicación en Lucerna es muy buena. La habitación era confortable y, en principio, la estancia parecía que iba a ser muy positiva.

Cons:

Lamentablemente, tuvimos un incidente muy grave relacionado con la seguridad. Durante la noche alguien entró a nuestra habitación; al despertarnos encontramos nuestras maletas al pie de la puerta de salida de la habitación y nos habían robado dinero y pertenencias personales. Fue una experiencia muy angustiante.

Presentamos la denuncia ante la policía. Sin embargo, sentimos que el hotel no contaba con medidas de seguridad adecuadas ni con controles claros en los accesos o en las puertas de las habitaciones. Tampoco percibimos un apoyo suficiente por parte del hotel frente a la situación. Consideramos que la seguridad es un aspecto fundamental y creemos que debe reforzarse para evitar que otros huéspedes pasen por lo mismo.

Gottseidank waren wir nur zum Schlafen im Zimmer
Pros:

Die Lage war sehr gut! Kurzer Weg vom Hauptbahnhof!
Das Frühstück war für den Preis von € 16,- super 🤩

Cons:

Die Sauberkeit in den Zimmern lässt zu wünschen übrig!
Der Kühlschrank war leider so dreckig, dass ich mich nicht getraut habe offenen Flasche hinein zu stellen!
Es hat uns sehr überrascht, dass es keinen Fernseher im Zimmer gab! Bitte die genaue Raumausstattung lesen!!!!!
Die beschriebenen Kosmetik Produkte sind eine Seife!?
