The receptionist was very kind and gave us some recommendations for tourist spots! The room was spacious and clean. The lockers don't have keys so we recommend bringing your own. The shower was good as the hot water came out immediately, but it was difficult to adjust the angle.

The lady at the reception was very kind and introduced recommended shops and spots using a map. You can rent a hair dryer by leaving your driver's license or paying a deposit. The system was that it was returned when you returned it. It was good that it was close to the center.

It was a great experience to stay here. Location not far away from Luzern train station. Just have to walk across the bridge while enjoying the Chapel Bridge. Then a bit walk along the street and shops to go to this hotel. Excellence service from the front staff. I meet 3 different staffs along the stay and all of them are very nice and helpful. They even gave the map for interesting places around Luzern. 1 lady help us to call our next hotel using her private phone. Appreciate that much. Kettle and microwave can use from Japanese restaurant under the hotel because they work together. Nice experience staying in prison room. They also have free luggage storage room. Would really recommend to stay here..
