This hotel was delightful. Super convenient for the station and the boat pier, 5 mins walk max, and from the main old town. Breakfast lovely and fresh, with a lounge area for all day use and bringing your own food back to eat (great when trying to save a bit of money and not eat out every day!). Friendly staff who made me feel really welcome. If I'm back in Luzern, I would definitely stay here again!

Hotel Central was the perfect location for our 5 nights in Lucerne. The included breakfast was very well done and plentiful. The convenience of having the refrigerator with provided labels so that we could store some food along with other guests was such a great idea. Additionally, they had a Vending machine for soft drinks wine, beer and then coffee and tea was available 24 hours a day. Lovely quaint hotel would certainly recommend it and stay there again.

Great location. Very friendly staff. The rooms are somewhat small and lack any real ventilation except if you open the windows. No screens so bugs can get in. Could use some better ventilation, or at least screens, possibly air conditioning - otherwise they get really stuffy.

You know how flying economy gets you to your destination, but you really can’t wait to deplane. Felt the same staying at the Lucerne Central Hotel. Noticeably cramped so would not recommend staying there more than two nights. Noise level will depend on the behavior and consideration of the guests near your room as well as the location of the room. Street-side rooms reportedly are very noisy. On a positive note, the hotel is conveniently located near the main train station, restaurants, and Lake Luzern.

The property is showing its age. Rough around the edges and very small bathroom and especially the shower. There is no AC and it’s recommended to sleep with the window open yet people, traffic and construction is loud. And there are lots of bugs that come in. Would stay somewhere else next time.
