David, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This hotel was delightful. Super convenient for the station and the boat pier, 5 mins walk max, and from the main old town. Breakfast lovely and fresh, with a lounge area for all day use and bringing your own food back to eat (great when trying to save a bit of money and not eat out every day!). Friendly staff who made me feel really welcome. If I'm back in Luzern, I would definitely stay here again!

Elizabeth, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Hotel Central was the perfect location for our 5 nights in Lucerne. The included breakfast was very well done and plentiful. The convenience of having the refrigerator with provided labels so that we could store some food along with other guests was such a great idea. Additionally, they had a Vending machine for soft drinks wine, beer and then coffee and tea was available 24 hours a day. Lovely quaint hotel would certainly recommend it and stay there again.
