During our recent Europe Trip we stayed here for 6 nights and had a wonderful experience. Check-in & Staff: Smooth check-in process, very welcoming and cordial front desk team. They listened carefully to our requests and fulfilled them right away. Location: The main USP of this hotel is its location. This hotel is just 3-mins of walk from the nearest train station (Kriens Mattenhof) which is the 2nd stop from the Luzern main train station. Surrounded by multiple fast-food restaurants (McDonalds, Subway), with Migros (Swiss Grocery Chain) right across the street. The area felt very safe. Breakfast: Breakfast was a highlight every morning, with a wide variety of items to choose from. Options included bread, butter & jams, cereals, croissants, green salads, fruit cocktail, assorted meats (turkey, pepperoni, pork sausage), scrambled & boiled eggs, coffee, milk, different juices, whole fruits, yogurt, pancake, and oats. Something for everyone! Room & Cleanliness: Spacious, modern, and very clean rooms. The entire hotel feels new and well-maintained. The hotel allowed our luggages in the storage on the check-out day which made our travel very convenient, and we didn't have to pay the locker charges in the station. Overall Experience: Great stay, perfect mix of convenience, comfort, and hospitality. Highly recommended—definitely a 10/10 stay!

The ok side: Good location near train, the staff in the breakfast (2 amazing waitresses), clean, close parking, breakfast was good and complimentary The NOT ok: The front desk were not nice at all, they give you the feeling that they do not like to serve you or answer your questions. The air condition is not good, when I called the front desk said that it is what it is and if I want to get a fan I should come over and take it. Bottom line, we won’t come again although I have it average

Brilliant stay, stayed 4 nights with my family. Location isn’t bad as train station 2-3 mins walking distance, and the free voucher to travel to Luzern station was very handy. Room was great, very clean, service brilliant. They have thought of most things with usb charging port, able to request certain items like toothbrush, hotel also had microwave in the lounge area which was very helpful. Staff were amazing, very helpful, always ready to help and offer advices when asked esp for travelling around. Breakfast again was of very good standards. Honest can’t fault anything during our stay and defenitely recommend it. Thank you for a lovely stay.
