阿爾法飯店(Hotel Alpha)

I think very good hotel and in Swiss terms value for money. I appreciate the breakfast and the staff very nice. Would recommend…. - google map says 800 metres from station…it’s a very flat and easy walk .. - it’s in a quiet area. I left window open all night. No issue.

Two of us got a triple room. It’s just nice for us but it will be squeezy for 3. There’s a sink in our room and the pipe made funny loud noises. Hair dryer provided in the room. Shared bathroom and toilets are modern and clean. Appreciate the free breakfast as food is so expensive in Switzerland. No toiletries in the bathroom - bring your own. Many buses to and fro and just a few stops to Lucerne train station and old town. It’s possible to walk if you like - about 2 over km. Bus rides are free for tourists - show your hotel booking if there’s a bus conductor. Hotel is located in a quiet neighborhood away from busy roads but easy to walk from bus stop. Overall this is a nice budget hotel I’d recommend

This is not a typical hotel. It was previously a staff quarter so the design & layout is different. However it is a decent & clean property. Was unable to find something reasonable near lake area in peak July so this was decent find. Value for money & clean. Short walk to train station. Away from touristy buzz. Breakfast was nice. No ceiling fans but standing fans available. Room was comfortable & basic. Morning reception person was friendly but evening was ok. Diverse guest type from solo to family to work to holiday. Diverse room type available. We were in a triple room with ensuite bathroom & it was decent. Lift available. No restaurant service except breakfast. Don't go if you are looking for a hotel style stay with holiday or family vibe. Think of it as a modern hostel with quiet neighbourhood. Clean comfortable & safe. Value for money in Lucerne. No regret. Nice find.

Would recommend this hotel. The staff at reception were very friendly and helpful. The rooms were spacious with a table and chairs as well as beds. The shared bathrooms were very clean with lockable shower cubicles with an area for changing inside. Quiet location yet only few minutes walk from train station/centre of Lucerne. Breakfast had a good selection. Will stay here again :)

Not the type of hotel I usually use in Lucerne, but the result was satisfactory for the price. This hotel has very basic facilitites : no en-suite bathroom (only a basin), simple and unchanging breakfast, no facilities for beverages preparation either in the room or in a common area (problem to me as I was locked in my room the week-end by a cold). However the staff is very nice and the housekeeping ladies keep the whole place stunningly clean. Another plus is the agreeable location which is in a quiet neighbourhood just beyond the noisy and frantic Pilatusplatz and Pilatusstrasse up to the main station. The old city is 5-10 minutes walk.

Be sure you understand that this is an old school, shared bathroom/shower property. We missed that in the booking but on arrival the lady at the desk was amazingly welcoming and started our whole stay off on a great footing. The property is very CLEAN and well run. Sleep quality was actually some of the best we have had in a long time in a European property. Location is perfect...10 min walk to the train and easy walk to the Old Town and Lake. Quite perfect along with a great breakfast
