Luzern ist eine Reise wert
Pros:

Die Lage ist sehr zentral. Zu Fuss ist man in 5 Minuten am Bahnhof und somit auch gleich am See. Das Frühstück ausreichend. Es wurde immer gleich nachgelegt.

Cons:

Wir hatten ein Deluxe Zimmer. Okay die Regendusche ist nicht beim Standardzimmer aber das Zimmer hatte nur Bett, kleiner Schreibtisch, 1 Stuhl und ein offenes Regal als Schrank mit Safe und kleiner Kühlschrank. Keinen grossen Spiegel und auch keinen zusätzlichen Sessel. Das Zimmer war im hinteren Bereich, sodass ab 7 Uhr der Lieferverkehr hier erfolgte und auch die Mülltonnen auf dieser Seite geleert wurden.

Muita propaganda e caro pela entrega
Pros:

Cama boa, café da manhã bom, chuveiro bom, janelas anti ruído no quarto e excelente localização.

Cons:

Limpeza muito ruim. Ordem depósito na chegada além da estadia já paga. Não me senti em casa. Alguns funcionários não fazem questão de ser simpáticos. Fui tomar banho de banheira e ao olhar pra cima vi a antiga saída de água cheia de limo, suporte do sabonete e azulejos perto do chuveiro cheios de limo e o banheiro do café da manhã sujo. Não repuseram sabonetes nem cremes numa das diárias. Não deram o cartão de cidadão na recepção quando cheguei mesmo eu pedindo no booking. E o que mais achei absurdo, mesmo pagando integralmente a estadia pelo booking, quando você chega pedem um depósito de 300 Francos suíços no cartão de crédito, então vá preparado! Não sei o booking permite isso.

Not recommended. Poor value for money, not family-friendly, and room sizes vary significantly!
Pros:

I made the mistake of not paying attention to previous guest reviews because I assumed the issues had already been addressed. The main reason I chose this hotel was the availability of air conditioning during the summer.
If you are traveling with family and young children, think carefully before booking. I reserved two rooms, expecting to accommodate one adult and two young children in each room, even if it meant paying an additional occupancy fee. Instead, I was shocked when the receptionist immediately prepared the credit card machine and asked me to pay an extra CHF 2,300 for a third room for our one-week stay. He claimed this was a better rate than the booking websites. When I explained that I could simply divide the children between the two rooms, he said nearby guests might object and that this was hotel policy. I found this explanation unreasonable. Whether the children stayed together or separately in the two rooms made no difference to other guests. It felt like an attempt to charge for an unnecessary additional room. Before agreeing, I checked Booking.com and found a rate that was CHF 500 lower than the hotel's offer.
My experience during check-out was equally disappointing. Before the agreed check-out time of 11:30 a.m., hotel staff entered my rooms and insisted that I leave immediately or I would be charged for another day starting at noon. I explained that my luggage was packed and I was preparing to leave as agreed. Meanwhile, what appeared to be an inspection team began searching the rooms for anything they could potentially charge me for.
At reception, I was informed that my children had drawn on a table and that I would be charged CHF 120. I asked them to show me the marks so I could simply clean them with wet wipes, but they refused to allow me to do so. They also attempted to charge me because a window had been secured with tape. Ironically, this had been done by a member of the hotel staff after I requested assistance in locking it.

Cons:

I then overheard the inspection team leader mentioning that the telephones in the rooms were not working, seemingly suggesting that my family had caused the problem. In reality, the phones had never worked from the moment we checked in. Since they were unusable, I had been visiting the reception desk in person whenever I needed assistance. I chose not to complain about this during my stay, and that was my mistake. My advice to future guests is to report every issue immediately and ensure it is documented.
On my final day, I asked if I could leave my car in the hotel parking lot until the afternoon. The parking area was almost empty, yet the hotel refused, saying parking was not permitted beyond 1:00 p.m., despite the amount I had spent during my stay.
In total, I paid approximately CHF 6,500 for three rooms for one week. This is comparable to the rates of many luxury five-star hotels that offer spacious rooms, excellent dining, and exceptional service. Unfortunately, this hotel did not deliver a comparable experience. Even when I specifically requested that my room not be cleaned at a certain time, I returned to find housekeeping inside anyway, apparently more concerned with completing their checklist than respecting guest preferences.
Overall, the service had a negative impact on what should have been an enjoyable holiday. If you are traveling with children, I recommend thinking very carefully before booking. If you are on your honeymoon, I would not recommend this hotel at all. Solo travelers who spend most of their time outside the hotel may have a better experience.
The hotel's culture seems focused on identifying opportunities to impose additional charges rather than providing a welcoming and customer-focused experience. I also noticed that management has been responding to negative reviews with the same generic message for several years, apologizing for not meeting expectations. I encourage the management to benchmark themselves against leading hotels.
