Yelp Review 2026 #87:…read more
Looking at Google Maps, this hotel seems like it's right outside Luzern Hauptbanhof but it's actually not. It's at least a 7-minute walk from the station which is not bad. The hotel we wanted to stay at was fully booked and next best thing was Radisson Blu. It's tuck behind the station in a quieter area.
As much as I want to find things to hate about this hotel, I just can't because the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. We arrived here from 1.5 hour train ride from Zurich, still half-asleep. We were not expecting to be able to check in but they stored our luggage for us. As an introvert, it takes a lot for me to joke around with random people and starting from the front desk, I felt at ease. I was minding my own business checking out their robot butler, Jeeves and the concierge was telling me all about it in a non-annoying way. So, we started joking around and laughing and the front desk crew joined in. What a good first impression!
We got upgraded to a bigger room with a view of Lake Luzern. I thought I had already posted pictures from this hotel before deleting them but I'm now realizing I most certainly did not! But the room was very spacious. Plenty of room even with 2 large suitcases, shopping bags, totes, and 2 backpacks. The bed was very comfy. I took well-rested naps in the afternoon and 8 hours of deep sleep at night. They have a decent gym. There's a restaurant at the ground floor to the right of the lobby. A few of elevators.
The weather in Switzerland in May can be sunny and cool to cloudy and rainy or just downpour for half a day. I packed a poncho, a rain jacket, and a winter coat for when I go to the mountains. I refuse to bring an umbrella. Some hotels in Switzerland have umbrellas free to their guests, some you have to rent, some don't offer umbrellas at all. So, in my years of travel experience, I learned to be self-reliant and pack what I could need. The toiletries didn't smell bad but it wasn't my favorite. It was generic. Free bottles of water daily not that we needed it because Swiss tap water is the best.
It's parallel to a walking path. Some restaurants outside. Close to KKZ.
In short, we had a great stay here.
PS: I did find pictures I took of this hotel!
