Positive:
The staff were INCREDIBLE!!! Everything was great! The breakfast did not have a lot of choice, but it didn't really impact my stay. The bus stop wasn't far, any kind of tourist attraction is walkable distance and the staff were helpful with any question I had!
Negative:
The walls are paper thin. You can hear your neighbours doing whatever they are doing. Earphones were my best friend.

The hotel is in a perfect central yet quiet location — just a 10-minute walk from the train station and 5 minutes from the beautiful old town.

Location is great and facilities were clean

It’s insane how someones walking upstairs or in the same floor makes the entire room and windows move. It was impossible sleeping without earplugs

Positive:
The hotel is located at a quiet and peaceful place, but still it is not very far from the Lucerne city center. There are frequent buses to the Lucerne railway station which is at the center of the city. There is a 5 minutes walk to the bus stop. It is also possible to walk from the station to the hotel if you don't have any heavy luggage. Hotel staff is pleasant. You can keep the luggage at the hotel if you arrive before check-in time. Breakfast was nice. Overall, it was a nice stay in the beautiful city of Lucerne.
Negative:
The hotel has shared bathroom facility in each floor. There are 2 shower rooms and but only 1 toilet. I think it would be better to have at least 2 toilets in each floor as there are more than 10 rooms in every floor.
Summary: Nice stay in the beautiful city of Lucerne!

Friendly staff at reception. Very basic room but clean.
Negative:
No air conditioning in the room is ridiculous given the price. Stayed there on a run of hot weather and had to keep windows open with a fan constantly. Felt like a developing country.
Shared bathroom was a bit ordinary given the price, but it was at least clean.
Limited vegan options at breakfast.
Summary: Very expensive for what you get
