Stayed in honeymoon suite with a beautiful view of the city and river. Bed was comfortable, room was clean and enjoyed our stay. Thankfully there were fans in the room to keep you cool because no A/C. If you do some research ahead of time finding the hotel and check in location is easy.

This property is a bit difficult to access for the mature travelers walking from the train station. The Barock suite, while fairly large was a bit austere and baroque for our tastes. The service staff was pretty loud when they did their work and the view from the room is a bit limited and unappealing. The central location in the Altstadt area was excellent, however, offsetting the less than positively aspects noted.

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.

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 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

Firstly the positives. Location is perfect, right in the heart of the Old Town and within walking distance of everything. The staff were all very friendly, helpful and welcoming. The room was spacious but could definitely do with some improvements and upgrades. The room felt a bit dark and limited natural light, there was no main light in our room only lamps which was a bit strange. The fridge didn’t work. A couple of the mirrors in the room were cracked and could do with replacing. The room just felt a bit basic and dull, no character. The bed was extremely squeaky every time we moved and it felt a bit wobbly. The bathroom was a good size but the shower is very low down which wasn’t ideal as a tall person! On the plus side the room was very clean. Unfortunately we couldn’t have the window open for long as people smoking in the alley below meant the smoke came into our room! Although this can’t be helped by the hotel. The room was very warm with no thermostat to change the temperature. Check in is in a different hotel around the corner which is a bit annoying when walking around with luggage. If you could drop your room key into a box in the hotel without having to check out in the other one that would be good? Overall, a reasonable hotel in a perfect location. Nothing special but good for the price paid. Pretty basic, could do with some redecoration but did the job for a one night stay!

That was one of the best hotel accommodation we ever had before. They upgraded up to honeymoon room and it had hands down the best view over the Lucern! The rooms were large and clean. We even ended up to buy breakfast there because it was decent for the money they charge.
