Clean and well located for short stay
Pros:

Location is convenient.
Staff was friendly.
Room very comfortable and very clean.

Cons:

WIFI access is frustrating and limited to 1 item (!)
Very old school. No lobby per say, just a desk in a tight place. Noisy on Saturday night. Sound insulation to other rooms was very poor.

Got a good alternative.
Pros:

Hotel Alpina was under renovation and we've received alternative accomodation (and an upgrade) at Hotel Monopol.
Very comfortable suite. Awesome staff. Location was less than 30 steps from the entrance to the Lucerne train station, could not ask for better.
Close to most of the attractions in town.

Cons:

No complaints.
