We enjoyed our stay - lack of air conditioning was our only complaint but had we not had the unseasonable heatwave it w
Pros:

Location was fantastic - in centre of old town and shopping area. View from room was amazing - woke up each morning looking at the Chapel Bridge. Close to many restaurants and the Lake. Also a walk to Lucerne station.

Cons:

No Air Conditioning. We were there towards the end of June and temps were hitting 34C each day. We were provided with two fans which did provided some relief.

Pros:

地點非常好 雖然沒有冷氣 但是有兩個很棒的風扇，可以透過一個小電扇放在窗口 把風吹進來，晚上會很冷，

Cons:

因為樓下是個酒吧，剛好入住當晚是世界盃足球賽 整條街 或是樓下都是喧鬧，很能體諒大家看球的熱情 要等到比賽結束 整條街才靜下來

I'd very much recommend the hotel, just be careful when leaving the shower not to slip
Pros:

Great location, view and near the station. In the center of town.
Pub had a great Guinness and fish and chips

Cons:

The lino by the shower has no grip. Not suitable for bathroom. I slipped and fell, but managed not to hit my head.

The room offers good value and comfort, but there is no escaping the heat (or cigarette smoke!).
Pros:

The room is a little on the small side, but still very adequate for one person. The shower was the best, with very strong pressure so that it provided a massage. The room was cozy overall, with a nice fridge, and the bed was mostly comfortable.

Cons:

Because there is no air conditioner, the room was warm and stuffy. The only alternative was to open the window, but when I did there was always the unpleasant surprise of cigarette smoke wafting into the room from below, so I had to keep the window shut.

Pros:

Excellent location and view. Rooms were clean and comfy enough other than temperature.

Cons:

No air conditioning. There was a fan, but it was still uncomfortable to stay there during some very hot nights. We could not relax in the room because it was too hot. It was also above the pub, so it could be loud at night, and some cigarette smoke came in through our window just above it. I would stay here again, but not during the summer.
