convenient and stellar restaurant
Pros:

very convenient location (including parking, access to the bus-stop to take you around the city), the restaurant was phenomenal and great value for money with a nice view, hotel had a pretty garden and provided breakfast

Cons:

the fan was loud and old, and not the best to use while sleeping at night (opening the windows was noisy too), and since there's no AC it gets stuffy/hot in the room in the summer

Good location, excellent breakfast, great team.
Pros:

Good location close to the center of Luzern. Excellent breakfast. We were surprised that there was no elevator to get to the second floor which was a bit difficult for our 89 years old mother. Everything else was very good.

Cons:

The surprise of being at the top floor with no elevator but we managed.

Malgré le désagrément de la chaleur, nous recommandons vivement cet hôtel.
Pros:

Accueil très sympathique, avec des renseignements très précis. Cet établissement étant situé à environ 5km du centre ville, on nous a offert des tickets de transport en commun pour aller visiter Luzern. Nous avons donc pu laisser notre voiture sur le parking gratuit. L'arrêt de bus se trouve juste en face de l'hôtel. La piscine extérieure est très agréable et à la réception on nous a fourni des serviettes de plage. Le petit déjeuner est exceptionnel, avec une grande variété de produits proposés.

Cons:

Nous étions en période de canicule et il faisait très chaud dans la chambre non climatisée. Le ventilateur étant très bruyant, nous avons ouverts les fenêtres pour dormir, mais notre chambre située sur l'avant, donc côté rue, nous avons été réveillés dès 6h00 du matin par la circulation.
