Pros:

The staff were very friendly and helpful. Dinner in the restaurant was excellent. The location was perfect for exploring the city.

Cons:

We did not receive an e-mail regarding the hotel door access code and self check-in procedure before our arrival. This caused some difficulty as we had limited phone access. The problem was resolved by borrowing a neighboring business's phone to call the hotel.

Pros:

Hotel bien situé, facilité d'accès, literie très confortable.

Cons:

J'aurais préféré que ma chambre donne du côté de l'église; chambres pas très bien insonorisées (bruits du restaurant), mais ça ne m'a pas empêchée de beaucoup apprecier mon sejour !

Ok
Pros:

Das Zimmer ist einfach und zweckmässig. Genügend Ablagefläche beim Lavabo!

Cons:

Die Beschaffung der Gästekarte ist zu kompliziert, die Kurtaxe sehr hoch. Dass man im Restaurant nach 22Uhr nichts mehr zu essen bekommt( auch nichts Kaltes, Einfaches) entspricht nicht den Erwartungen an Luzern.
