Very nice, safe and newly renovated hotel in the middle of farm lands. Clean, modern, nice bed, amazing balcony and views with farms, cows and mountains. We’ve stayed in a superior room with bigger bed, ample space, awesome window blinds and a kitchenette. Very welcoming and helpful staff and free parking. Highly recommended!

Call me old school but I prefer to be greeted by a receptionist when I check in. Still, our room was quiet and roomy and the reception on call were quick to assist us. When the breakfast room remodel is done that should be nice, too. Our breakfast at the hotel de Paix was a little sub par but free. The hallways had the same cluster of leaves on the floor for the 3 days we were there. The price was affordable for expensive Switzerland.

The hotel is located about a 15 minute walk from the main train station. You cross the bridge and then access it through some small pedestrianised streets which have lots of cafes and shops. The hotel itself is on a busy street and the entrance isn’t all that attractive. The hotel emailed me the Luzern Visitors card the morning I was due to check-in. This allowed you some discounts and access to transport. I used the self-check in which was very efficient. There are a small number of lockers at the entrance where you can leave your luggage if your room isn’t available. My room was fine with a comfortable bed and a large bathroom. However there were no coffee or tea making facilities which I like to have when I stay for more than one night. Tap water was left in a decanter for your use. There was a safe and a small fridge in the room. I would stay in this hotel again due to it’s location. I also thinks it’s good value for money for Lucerne.

The 2 nights stay was okay. Unfortunately there’s no ventilation in the bathroom, esp when shaving, which would’ve been convenient. Although our stay was short, our last day the room was too hot; however, good &/or satisfactory with everything else.

Good for a short stay, self check in and the hotel next door kept our bags for us. The room got very hot at night in the summer, ok for a short stay but would be unpleasant for a longer stay. Standard breakfast. Would reccomend if you are travelling on a budget. Good location.

If you are accustomed to even the basic comforts of American hotels, you will be disappointed here. There is no air conditioning which I thought would be no big deal since outside temperatures were in the 60’s. Boy, was I wrong! It felt higher than 100 degrees at night, probably because the rooms are designed to retain the heat inside. When we tried opening windows, the loud noise of traffic and commotion outside prevented us from sleeping, all the while the whole place was basically an oven. This is a self service hotel, so expect to do all service yourself. The front desk has no humans (so if you’re confused due to your lack of knowing the local language there’s not much help) but they get some services from a hotel next door , and they were friendly. I asked for extra fans, but I never received in any of our rooms. I did not sleep well for 2 nights and also fell very sick, which made the rest of my trip not as enjoyable as it could have been. This hotel was a disappointment.
