This is a 5-star hotel all the way! Hotel Schweizerhof Luzern is one of the most beautiful and…read morenicest hotels I've stayed at. Its location is primo, right along the Lake. Directly across the street is beautiful Lake Lucerne. Our room was very nice, and my only criticism is the bed is too firm for my liking. However, that seems to be the norm in Switzerland, as other places were similar. I really appreciated the spa area on the 5th floor. There is a dry sauna and steam sauna plus resting areas with day beds, and showers. Additionally, the flowers and plants within the hotel were amazing. The arrangements were so nice and healthy. That was such a nice touch to enhance the beauty of the property. The breakfast provided by the hotel is also very good. I also appreciated the complimentary sparkling water and soft drinks in the rooms mini bar. The tap water is unbelievably delicious and has a nice mouth feel. It is clear the water in general is soft. After showering my hair felt soft, and using the Dyson hair dryer provided made my hair feel soft and silky. It really is the best of the best, I'm so lucky to have stayed here.

The hotel itself is beautiful-perched high atop of bluff looking over Lucerne, the views and vibe (especially at the American Bar adjacent to the lobby) are top notch. As to be expected, room rates matched the exclusive feel of the property. Unfortunately, the service and the upkeep within the room doesn't match the price point. Our check-in experience was slow and while not rude, wasn't warm and welcoming. There also wasn't an offer to porter our bags to the room which I found odd. The room while decorated well definitely felt dated and weathered. Caulking in the shower area was stained. Wardrobe closet dinged up. Again, was it the end of the world? No. But given the price point, I expected more.

Beautiful hotel in a convenient location approximately a 5 minute walk from the train station…read more Being a loyal Marriott member has its perks and we were upgraded to the Penthouse Suite for our stay. Although I must say, for the hotel size, the PH suite is not what I'm used to in bigger properties. But for this property, it's quite spacious. But if to compare to larger sized hotels, this room would be considered standard or premium at best. We had enough space but it wasn't large enough for us to not have to navigate around our opened suitcases. Our suite comes with a balcony and a view of the city. The staff was quite friendly and helpful in assisting us with transportation and directions on where we needed to go. All in all it was a lovely, small boutique hotel which served its purpose for our quick stopover in Lucerne.

It is located just a quick 5 minute walk from the train station and from the scenic bridge. Our room was a king "suite" number 5103 (on 1st floor) and located in the corner with two huge picture windows and massive electric storm shutters that can be closed to block out the ambient light. Most of the room rates on the very confusing array on the website include the very nice buffet breakfast located on the minus one level. I missed this somehow so we ended up paying at the hotel . As my wife just wanted eggs (10 Chf) and I took the buffet (35 Chf) we likely saved a bit of money overall-especially since the buffet comes with a three-tiered tower of fruit, cheese, meat and yogurt brought to the table. As for the room, the AC was good and the bed fairly comfortably with big pillows. The "shotgun" bathroom while modern, felt cramped and the telephone booth sized shower a bit of a disappointment despite the ample water flow and high end Lacitaine bath products. There was bedside electric connections only on one side of the bed causing a slight inconvenience but the feature I definitely did not like were the translucent end tables with red lights shining up that even a double thickness of towels could not defeat. Overall though, it was a good place to stay and the eager young staff was friendly and helpful throughout. Recommended

That was a first for me and we got to choose to things like robes and types of complimentary drinks to have in the room! We arrived early and were told we had to wait a little bit for our room to be ready. The nice lady directed us where we could grab a bite to eat while we waited. The rooms were nice, clean and modern. The only tricky thing was figuring out how the curtain/blinds worked which were remote controlled. The housekeeper quickly showed us and we were set to go. FYI, hotels in Switzerland usually include breakfast. The Hotel Cascada had the best breakfast of any hotel we stayed at during our week long stay in Switzerland. Pro Tip: They also have free bikes you can borrow if you want to ride around town!

The price is however 5 star. Positive, central in Lucerne and close to train station. Negatives, tiny room, uncomfortable furnishings which barely fit. Room smells of old cigarettes and or chemicals. No robes or slippers available. Ambient noise from hall and adjacent rooms. Our window was locked shut, but looked into ventilation shaft anyway. Lobby was cramped, exacerbated by Viking cruise hospitality desk. Staff were friendly enough to, and acted surprised we provided negative reviews at check out. I chose not to complain during our 2 night visit since prior similar reviews stated staff were really of no use in resolving issues.

We came to our room, 527 on the top floor facing the lake. Breathtaking view! Speechless! Yes, it's a bit expensive. But you're in Switzerland, it's the most expensive place in the world. What are you expecting? Switzerland is gorgeous. And speaking honestly, I was struggling with the decision to explore Luzern, or take in the view in my room. In my book, that's the definition of an incredible vacation.
