Muito perto da estação de trem, rapidamente se chegava ao centro. E também próximo ao hotel haviam restaurantes, lanchonetes e mercados.

Cons:

Faltou frigobar nos quartos, poderiam ter esse item.

The staff. The location is 2 mins walk to train station that takes you to central Lucerne in 4 mins.

Overall, okay. Comfortable but could have been better.
Pros:

We liked that the property was at walking distance from the Krienz train station.

Cons:

Being a chain hotel property, the room was very small. Not much of legroom to keep luggage. There was no safe box which was surprising. The breakfast was okay - not much of vegetarian options.

OK location & Bfast, Housekeeping can be better
Pros:

Overall 3.5/5:

Location is ok, short walk from Kriens station which is 2 stops from Lucerne central train station (15mins frequency train). Mt Pilatus cable car station is short bus ride (16 &21) away. Bfast was ok. Hotel provides free bus/train Lucerne visitor pass. Thr are some restaurants arnd.

Room size is decent but small annoyances like bathroom door keeps swinging close, toilet paper holder came off (could put back in), flush button seemed flimsy. For a new hotel not great furnishing.

Housekeeping wasn’t great. Sofa bed mattress was missing which they added after we mentioned post checkin. Next morning we found soap/shampoo bottles empty. Spotted housekeeping staff outside who gave us a soap bottle. Told them to replace body lotion when they clean but they didn’t. These things are standard and shd be checked before guests checkin.

No major issue per se just not smooth.

Spacious with half a shower door.
Pros:

The room was spacious and close to the train station. Breakfast was good. I didn't like the rice because it doesn't seem to be cooked all the way.

Cons:

I didn't like that the shower did not have a whole door. The water got everywhere on the floor because the shower was cover half of the shower.

Pros:

對面有超市 附近有麥當勞跟subway 離車站也近 車站人不多讓人覺得舒適 房間漂亮 裝潢很新有現代感 住起來會心情愉悅 早餐不錯吃 整理來說滿意

Cons:

辦理入住及退房手續耗時不夠有效率 房間整潔不夠 一打開房門進去發現地板上有餅乾碎屑 淋浴間牆壁填縫處都是發霉黑點 馬桶座墊有水滴 表示清潔不夠徹底 房間裡不知道為何有股海鮮味 讓人覺得有些可惜
