Location cannot be faulted, easy walk from train and bus stations. We opted for a river view, which was fabulous. Room was basic and there was some improvements needed with regards to servicing the rooms. Building work was imminent and so all of the carpets in the hallways and staircases were covered with sheeting- there was a notice apolgising for... More

Lucerne is one of my favorite cities and this hotel was a nice place to stay. Only had a few nights there, but my room overlooked the famous wooden Chapel bridge. The room itself was nothing spectacular, but it was clean, comfortable and sufficient. The hotel is close (walking distance) to the train station and is in Old Town (which... More

Great place to stop over for a night, the rooms looking south give you an early morning breathtaking sight, the wooden Kapellbrücke upfront, the modern KKL building and train station just behind, and in the distance the snow-covered Alps. Spacious rooms and facilities, clean, tea/coffee making equipment, nice fresh breakfast. Very quiet but for the morning church bells (on Sundays). More

We stayed here due to TA recommendations & having an idea about where it was located. This hotel is all about the view. It looks out directly to the Kapelbrücke - the most beautiful town view in all of Switzerland. You definitely need to pay the extra for the river view, that's what made the experience, the room itself is... More

Well I arrived via the train, with two HUGE bags, however, the Hotel is literally right across the bridge (super close) and they even let me check in early ( I was prepared to just leave my bags!). The breakfast room girls were super friendly and the breakfast was actually really good options. It was extremely quiet and the fact... More

You couldn't find a more perfect position for a hotel than this, right in the middle of everything. It has picturesque views out over the bridge and the river beyond. It is an easy walk from the train station, and also the bus stops are just across the road, making it easy to get out of town. The fresh produce... More

Wonderful hotel in Lucerene! Request a room with a river view and balcony...you will not be disappointed!! We bought a bottle of wine and some cheese at a nearby grocery store and had a wonderful evening snack on our balcony. The location is in the middle of everything and you can pretty much walk anywhere. We also ate dinner at... More

I couldn't imagine a more central hotel available. Overlooking the river and close to everything. Fresh food markets were set up in the street on the weekend mornings and it was fantastic. Small balcony that we sat on and had a glass of wine. Atmosphere was amazing. I would stay here again and again and again. Recommend it to all... More

This was my third stay at this hotel, my sixth trip to Europe, and my party consisted of my wife, 70 Yr old sister and myself. We stayed at the Des Alpes Hotel 7 – 9 June 2011. Hotel has a prime location adjacent... More
