The first part of the experience is a ride in an old-fashioned wooden train car with open sides to allow the scents of green meadows and cow manure to awaken the senses. Nice. But, then, we got off and walked aboard the double decker, convertible cable car and that's when the real adventure began! Steel cables and a pulley system glide the cable car up to a 7,000 (or thereabouts) elevation. At times during the ride, it felt like the car swooped over a hump causing everyone in the car to gasp and scream, not unlike being on a stand-up roller coaster. Meanwhile, the views were simply breathtaking. At the top, we were lucky enough to be the first group up so we had sweeping views of the mountains unfettered by crowds. This level has the a restaurant and gift shop, but if you go, do make the time to take the side trail or walk up to the top viewing platform for even more amazing views overlooking the lake region. You'll be rewarded for the effort!

It's one of the most beautiful scenic boat rides we did. Europass eurial had discounts to this route. We did first class with more spacious decks than second. Overall, it doesn't matter.

My room had a very small TV at the foot of the bed pointed away from the bed at a chair. Not that most people check in to watch TV, but I was worried I may kick off the blankets and kick it over so I requested it be moved or removed altogether, to which the receptionist said they couldn't until the next day(when I check-out), and that he would not be responsible for personally moving it himself, but that I would be responsible if I accidentally damaged it. They didn't have any other rooms available to switch me to and offered no solutions.

I don't get the negative reviews for this hotel because I loved it! Granted, I was staying here in…read morethe winter and yes, there's no a/c, but that's Europe for you. This hotel is located in a beautiful historic building right on the corner opposite the train station (making it super convenient if you have an early train or if you're carrying bags). It's directly across the street and is less than a 5 minute walk door to door. Even better, you can easily walk to Luzern's beautiful old town and the famous bridge in less than 10 minutes. I don't know why, but we were upgraded to a beautiful business double suite upon check-in. Located on one of the top floors, our room was huge and spacious with a sleek and modern design. The room was very comfortable, mostly due to the space, the modern bathroom, and the great amenities (including an in-room mini refrigerator). Our room was also equipped with several thoughtful features, including complimentary toiletries, a hair dryer, an in-room safe, a tea kettle, and free WiFi. The entire property is SMOKE-FREE which is great, and the rooms were spotlessly clean. The windows to our room opened so we could cool it down quickly. Our view was less than stellar as we looked out onto housing. And as is the case with most European hotels, the bed was hard and not so great. There's a hotel restaurant in the lobby that serves breakfast (which was included free of charge with our room rate), but we chose to sleep in instead of partaking. There are also plenty of places to eat nearby, including a McDonald's right next door (but don't do it!!) and a convenient COOP market across the street. There's also a nice reading room off the main lobby that offers a quiet and comfortable place to sit and work. The front desk staff did have a bit of a Swiss aloofness to them, reminding me much of the hotel staffs across France, but they did warm up when I smiled and complimented them on their lovely city and country. This is a fabulous hotel and I highly recommend it if you're traveling to Switzerland. I'll not hesitate to stay here again if I'm ever back in Luzern.

It's more than just a glass factory. It was much more enjoyable and interesting than I originally…read morethought it would be. The main attraction is watching the glass being blown. There's no fee to watch them making the glass in the factory. I believe some of the interactive displays such as the musical glass is something you can do as well. I think it's the museum, make your own glass section, and the mirrored maze that costs extra. We were on a tour that included the museum. It was all cool to see the historical flasks and decanters on display. All made at this factory since 1817. It's a traditional art that has been passed down for many generations. There are 2 shops. One is their storefront where I saw a glass fondue stand and lots of autumn décor. The other shop is an outlet with seconds from the factory. There were many good deals there. The café is also a very popular spot. The terrace has beautiful views of Lake Lucerne, as well as an interactive water fountain that you can turn on manually. The last part of our private tour took us to the playground. There is a very unique marble run that plays musical sounds as the marble hits each piece of glass on the way down. I believe the glass marbles can be purchased for a small fee. I say this because our guide (not affiliated with Glasi) gave them to us as souvenirs. I just wish it wasn't raining at the time. I would have loved to dine on the terrace for lunch as I've read so many good things about the food there. It was still a good visit. They really do make glass blowing look so fun. The kids really get into doing it themselves. It's worth a stop as you make your way to Bern from Lucerne.

The view by itself is worth the price even if there was no bed in the room. Our room had a balcony which we had to pay extra for, but again it was worth everything penny.

If you're ever get a chance to come here, don't hesitate for even one second. They have limited parking spots, but you can park at the restaurant next door parking spot.
