The hotel was beautiful and in a picture perfect spot on Lake Lucerne. The service was perfection. Vanessa welcomed us and helped us learn more about the city so we could orient ourselves. We are so appreciative of their attention to detail to make your stay not just comfortable, but memorable.

This is a beautiful property! We were in Switzerland for 10 days and although we were only at this location one night it was hands down the nicest room of the stay. The lake view room was so beautiful. Great location and very convenient for travellers as the bus station is right outside the building.

Wow! Just the place to stay if visiting Lucern - transportation to and from city is complimentary. The hotel is on the water and has all the facilities. The hospitality is top notch. What made our stay totally memorable is our interaction with Vanessa at the front desk. Any company would be so fortunate to have an employee like Vanessa. We loved out stay.

Excellent and friendly staff made us welcome and offered a change to a lakeside view. The lighting in the bedroom was dim except at the desk - we would liked to have had more conventional lighting. The double bed was comfortable but we also struggled to accommodate two large duvets on the bed, ending up laying on one end to anchor it.

This is a beautiful hotel on the lake, with wonderful, friendly staff. We were upgraded to a room with balcony without asking. One can swim in both the pool and the lake. Extraordinary setting, large, comfortable rooms, excellent breakfast, lovely terrace. We'll return!

Unbelievably beautiful location on the outskirts of Luzern, only 10-15 minutes away by (free) bus or car. The building is a bit dated but renovated appropriately. Very professional staff. Bus and ferry boat(!) stop right there. Wished we had brought our (gravel) bikes. We only had (good) breakfast once there but delicious (game) dinners at normal prices in very classy interiors within 10 minutes from there at hotel/restaurant Waldegg and restaurant Eichhof.

We stayed at the Seehotel Kastanienbaum between 28/12 2024 - 1/1 2025. Upon arrival the greeting was very friendly (and in perfect English). We were given details of the hotel, breakfast times, amenities such as Hot Tub and Sauna Boat for hire etc. We were also given a FREE bus pass for the duration of our stay. The bus service to and from Lucerne was regular and only 20 mins, the bus stop is literally 30 seconds from leaving the reception of the hotel. We used the bus every day. The room was spacious, a big bed, it was very warm and the bathroom had a great super-powerful shower. On the first night we had a cheese fondue in the private huts they have at the back of the hotel. It was great fun eating out zero degrees. We were kept warm by heated seat cushions and plenty of blankets. The only negative was it was foggy and the lake view we booked wasn’t there, obviously not the hotel’s fault. A nice touch was a Happy New Year card in our room on the 31st Dec and some biscuits and Konfi when we checked out.

I think this hotel might have been taken over by a new owner since we visited years ago. The staff were friendly but seemed a little unsure and the place seems a bit run-down. The view and direct access to the lake are superb but I was disappointed to be asked to pay extra for breakfast, the service at dinner was slow and there is no air conditioning in the rooms which made for a hot night.

The hotel wasn’t clean ( too many spiders) I couldn’t stay and had to check out!!. They offered me two other rooms but they were also having the same issue. I contacted the hotel thru Expedia to get my refund but they refused!!! I DON’T RECOMMEND THIS DIRTY HOTEL TO ANYONE!!

The staff was patronizing and condescending; no help. The room was hot; the blinds had not been lowered by the cleaning crew so on a hot day with no AC, it was stifling. I had upgraded the room from a basic room but it was in the attic where it would be the hottest. The description says "hill view," which is really up against a hill filled with homes.

This hotel is superb. The staff and facilities are wonderful, and the views from the hotel across the lake are truly awesome.
