Jó volt.
Pros:

A szállás a városközpontban volt, mégis csendes helyen.

Cons:

Kicsi volt a szoba és nagy a fürdőszoba. A fürdőszobából lehetett volna elvenni és hozzátenni a szobához.

Beyond my expectations
Pros:

Loved our 1 night here. Excellent location and near all we wanted to see and do. One of my favorite places I stayed in Europe. The free breakfast was the best I think I had in my 12 days in Europe. Staff were gracious and had great recommendations from restaurants to sites to see. Very impressed with this place. Would love to stay here again sometime.

Cons:

Only thing would be too thick of a comforter and a blanket optional would be nice. This is very petty but wife had a little trouble sleeping.

Lovely riverside stay with beautiful views and a very convenient location
Pros:

We had a very nice stay at Boutique Hotel KARL in Luzern. The best part of the hotel is definitely the location. It is beautifully located near the Reus river and within easy walking distance of the Old Town, Chapel Bridge, restaurants, shops and other main attractions. The view from our room was one of the highlights of our stay - we really enjoyed the mountain and river view, which made the room feel special and memorable. The room itself was spacious, clean and comfortable. We liked the room size, the comfortable beds and the well-maintained bathroom. The breakfast spread was good and added to the overall positive experience. The reception team was also helpful, which made our stay smoother. For a family stay, the room felt practical and relaxing. The overall atmosphere of the hotel is charming and gives a more personal boutique-hotel feeling compared to larger chain hotels.

Cons:

The only small area for improvement would be summer comfort. We stayed in late May and the weather was already quite warm. The room had a ceiling fan, along with a stand fan with three small but effective fans, which helped. However, during hotter summer days, an air-conditioning option would make the stay even more comfortable for some guests. We also noticed a few mosquitoes or small flying insects at night, so some additional insect protection could be helpful. Overall, these were minor points and did not take away from our pleasant stay.
