A bit of commute to the property if you on your feet but the views are worth it. Room was clean, views from balcony were amazing, breakfast was a top notch! Staff was very friendly and left me the option for self check in. Our best stay in Lucern!

The views and hospitality of the hotel went way beyond my expectations. Breakfast was delicious and the Sonnenberg ride was very enjoyable and cute.
The visitor pass that was shared with us was also very convenient for free public transportation and discounted museum tickets!

Place was fine and staff super helpful but after a very long drive and dead tired, we were told the restaurant and bar were closed on Sunday. The hotel location is rather remote but helpful staff directed us to the nearest.

Hotel Sonnenberg has amazing views and is wonderfully quiet and peaceful. The grounds are really lovely and walkable - complete with great playground. We really enjoyed dinner at the restaurant which had both great meat and vegetarian options.

Quite possibly the best breakfast view I’ve ever had at an hotel. We woke on our 1st of 3 nights to the stunning view looking up to Mount Pilatus & across the Lucerne valley. Just amazing views on the terrace wherever you looked. Our room was fine, everything that we needed, breakfast was pleasant can order eggs to your liking. There’s mini golf onsite too. Yes the hotel is about 15 mins out of town, but very much worth it just for the views that change during the day.

Staff was super friendly and helpful! Room was very clean and we had a great view of Lucerne! Kind of far from Lucerne but the hotel was perfect for what we needed and we would recommend this hotel!
