Stayed in the honeymoon suite with our two boys and parents and there was plenty of room however only one shower. The location is excellent - centrally located and very walkable. Hotel staff was nice and facility was clean. My mom was very happy to have fresh towels every day without asking. No AC and temperatures in the 80's, so an extra oscillating fan would have been nice, but not a deal breaker.

Worst hotel I’ve stayed at! Sofa was full of disgusting stains, wifi did not work in the room, offensive art work, no air conditioning, small fans provided were far from adequate. Had to open the windows for ventilation and instead of fresh air was choked by cigarette smoke from the restaurant below, people talking loudly late into the night, restaurant workers banging glass and bins in the alleyway facing the bedroom window. Bed was old and thin. Could not sleep, zero comfort. Man at reception was also terribly rude to me because I asked for the Seriously worst experience

Excellent location, right in the heart of old town. Only challenge was that we happened to pick a time when Lucerne was having a heat wave and the room we had was hot and there’s no air conditioning. They did have at least one working fan but it was still very hot

We stayed at the roof room which was very hot during night. We are not able to sleep. In the morning around 5:30 am loadin unloading voices of trucks started. The bed also very old and very noisy. In summer this roof room should not be sold to visitors.

Location was ideal and I was glad that I saw that check-in is at Hotel Krone, not far down the road. We stayed in the Egyptian room, another flight up stairs from the elevator, manageable for us but something to consider with heavy luggage if you want this room. A tower fan was available as well as a mini-fridge.

We had a fantastic stay at Altstadt Magic in Luzern. The hotel is right in the heart of old town and less than a 10 minute walk to anything you would want to see. The staff were all friendly and helpful especially Ekaterina who helped us to get our lost luggage from the airline. She was very communicative throughout the process. The room itself had a balcony with a breathtaking view of the surrounding mountains
