We stayed in a family room with 6 people. There were 3 bedrooms with a total of 6 twin beds or they could be made into 3 king beds. It was nice to have space to spread out and to have a kitchenette. Breakfast was incredible and the staff were friendly and helpful. Lots of shops and restaurants in the area and about a 10 minute walk to the train/bus station. This is a great place to stay and I would certainly recommend if visiting Lucerne.
