The hotel isn't exactly near the main train station, but definitely within walking distance. Located along a quieter road, it was still very accessible. The hotel staff was friendly but didn't offer the Luzern visitor's card until I asked for one. The rooms are extremely clean and the breakfast had a good spread. The only problem was that the rooms... More

Hotel Alpha was the cheapest hotel we could find in a very beautiful but expensive city - but it was still one of the most expensive places we stayed. We stayed two nights and were suprised by just how basic it was; bathrooms across the hall, mattress on the bed very thin, no air con or fans. The biggest downside... More

Lucerne is so expensive overall. Luckily Hotel Alpha was an exception and provided great value for money. We were looking for a centrally located hotel which was not over the top in price and this fitted the bill. The rooms are spacious, clean and well appointed. Breakfast was plentiful and included in the price. The location enabled us to easily... More

We stayed at the Hotel Alpha for two nights in September 2011 on our way back from Murren. I am not sure if it was because of the high standards set by Eiger guest house or its just the way Alpha's treats guests, I found their staff rather cold. While checking-in the lady in the reception had a very strange... More

This was my fourth stay in this hotel over a period of 30 years. Needless to say, I enjoy staying there. By Swiss standards, the prices are reasonable. An easy 15-minute walk from the station (don't take a taxi - Swiss taxi prices are said to be the highest in the world and this trip cost me 20 euros). A... More

Overall, good experience. Definitely recommended. Rooms and the shower/toilet facilities (shared) are very clean. Location is a short walk from the train station. We stayed there several years ago and had a nice quiet room. This time, we had a family with a baby next door and the walls were rather thin. Good thing we had a "white noise" machine... More

Wow, Switzerland is expensive and this place is affordable relative to the prices of other places. Nice that it's a short walk away from the busy center in a usually quiet residential 'hood. It was super clean in that northern european way which we like. Breakfast the usual euro hotel thing - clean, nice. All the staff were super nice.... More

I give this hotel 5 stars. We had a double room with bath. It was a very large room with a table and two chairs. The beds had very warm down comforters. Very clean. Lots of towels. We had two sinks one in the bedroom and one in the bathroom. The staff was very nice and helpful. Breakfast was included... More

Its a basic hotel but we had no complaints. Location is very good -- about 10 minutes from the train station on foot. So, if you don't have too much luggage, you can easily walk to this place. Neighborhood is quiet. Rooms and shared bathrooms are clean. People at reception were informative and helpful. We really liked the breakfast --... More
