erholsam und stressfrei
Cons:

Zimmer sind hellhörig, man versteht jedes Wort aus dem Nachbarzimmer. Die Bäder sind etwas antiquiert, enger rutschiger Einstieg in die hohe Badewanne zum Duschen.

No se justifica pagar 520 CH o 665 dólares por noche
Pros:

Solamente la ubicación.

Cons:

Habitación … 1) Super pequeña para 3 pax. 2) No tiene lugar para la vestimenta, hubo que dejar toda en las maletas, ni una mísera percha y menos aún guardarropas. 3) No tiene frigobar. 4) Internét prácticamente inexistente.

Nice but not memorable
Pros:

The pros were a big very comfortable bed (which made for a very good nights sleep), a good spacious bathroom with a big shower which had two different shower heads and could comfortably fit two people. There were plenty of towels with toiletries (soap, body conditioner etc.).

The room was well laid out, tidy and quiet. We were able to manage the air conditioner controls quite easily so the temperature was just right.
There was a television that boasted English channels (ITV also) but we ended up not using it.

We really enjoyed the breakfast the next morning. Both English and Continental were offered - with plenty of different options available - croissants, toast, Gipfeli, jams, marmalades, yogurts, fruit, cold meats and so on. The staff were friendly and attentive during the breakfast.

Cons:

Upon check-in, you would be advised to get concrete directions to your room as the hotel seems to be split over two buildings (or so we were told by a staff member) and we did end up a bit lost.

Even though the bed was really comfortable, the room was very generic - perhaps some more small pictures, vase, mural etc. - something - it just felt a bit empty, that something was missing besides the milk for the coffee machine.
The view from the room was not very nice, looking out at a concrete courtyard and across at the other rooms - maybe some flowers and vegetation in the courtyard may have helped here?
The room safe could be a bit bigger as I could not fit my 11¨ iPad in it.

To be honest, we found the hotel to have no real ambience or something unique / different / memorable that would make it stand out. Perhaps, the introduction of a theme would help differentiate it from other hotels and make it more memorable - something incorporating the history of Luzern?

As there was only one lift available, we decided to check out earlier so as to avoid any rush / potential delay the next morning.

We felt, bearing in mind the view and genericness of the room, we felt that the price paid was a bit high.

For a quick visit to Luzern, this was a good choice for location, cleanliness, comfortable bedding.
Pros:

very clean. very polite staff. Nice bedding for third person in each room I reserved. Less than 10 min to train station. Close to river walk.

Cons:

shower drain did not drain well. Called front desk, but maintenance didn't get to it while we were staying. The other room I reserved had no problem. Due to low lip of the shower stall, water started to overflow.
