What a great find! I booked a single room, but it was a big double bed. I would compare this hotel/room to the Moxy hotels - stylish & modern with fun decorative touches and common areas, a small yet functional and cute room. The best value in the area by far, and I spent days looking for a room. Great location near train station and busses. Lucerne is small, so you can walk anywhere in the old town quickly.

Great property, but the staff is what made me submit a review. Antonia at the front desk made our two days in Zürich better than we could’ve imagined. She suggested restaurants and things to do and treated us with respect and care. I could tell she genuinely wanted us to enjoy our time, and that is incredibly valuable these days.

The location of this property was good, the beds were comfortable the only con was no air conditioning and if you left the windows open it was so noisy because our room was on the street side, if the windows were closed the noise was blocked but the room got hot.

We loved it at this place. The breakfast was superb. We never ate there for dinner, but a lot of people seemed to enjoy it. The atmosphere is cute and the beds comfy. The shower was also phenomenal. They also provided a loaner backpack to take while you went exploring.
