8/10 Very good

The room was small but convenient for our stay. We were out most of the time exploring. Would stay again- convenient location to the train station, bus stop and pier for traveling. Would def stay there again if visiting.

Really smallest of small rooms but very clean with good breakfast.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. It is a very basic room, which we knew going in. The only thing that was not so great was the door that opened to the toilet had no frame and/or fan so any odors filled the entire room (more information than you were hoping for but needs considering).
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

Great location, good breakfast. Rooms are too small and is for just a day or 2 stay with minimal survival mode. Can’t complain considering how capitalism keeps Swiss tourists spots expensive.

Great walking distance from train station. Good breakfast, clean rooms and amenities. Good staff.
Verified review

4/10 Fair

Rooms are very small. Only about 1-1/2 ft left all around. No room for luggage. Towels are cheap and thin. Just a cheap budget hotel. Everything is extra, even to hold your luggage for a few hour before check in time.
Verified review

6/10 Good

The staff were helpful, kind, and the room was very clean. The biggest issue is that the bathroom is directly in the room, with the toilet being stall-style. The shower, sink, and stall toilet are separated from the sleeping area by a curtain. The beds come with a single pillow and when asked for an additional one we were told no. The location is walking distance from the old town and train station, and there are plenty of food/dinner options nearby including a grocery store. Lucerne was amazing, and if your only goal for accommodation is to have a place to sleep and clean up, ibis will cover the basics. If you want any creature comforts, somewhere else may be ideal.

10/10 Exceptional

Room was clean and what we expected for a budget ibis. We got what we paid for in a tiny room with compact solutions to most things. The hotel is close to the train for easy connections and made for a great point to do Mt Pilatus on our way through. Staff were great and very helpful.

Extremely small size of the room. Dark interior colour makes it feel even smaller. Great breakfast. Overall, Okay place.

Our twin bedded room was functional, clean and did the job. thankfully the air conditioning worked perfectly! The location was great - number 4 bus served us very well. Don’t forget to get your free bus pass from reception and be ready to leave a deposit for a hairdryer.

Clean room, friendly staff and breakfast was excellent. Room was bit smaller than we expected but its totally worth the money overall. Make sure to take bus 4 right opposite to Lucern station and the bus stops at the doorstep of ibis.

In Lucerne, this is the best hotel to stay in for the price. The rooms are small, but transportation is convenient and the staff are friendly.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

Clean room yet slightly smaller than ideal. No A/C. Did not have breakfast. Only coffee and croissant that was reasonably priced. Staff was friendly. With a small room it would have been nice to have a larger sitting area in a common area.
Verified review

6/10 Good

The room was quite small and the aircon wasn’t working. It was very stuffy in the room. The property was very close to the city and facilities. The price for a night stay was higher than any other accommodation all around Switzerland.

Parking was fine even in a large vehicle. Location was excellent for exploring the city, free bus travel from directly outside the hotel until around midnight. Breakfast was poor but better than nothing.

Good location at a reasonable price. Bus service is free, bus we had to figure that out. Also city WiFi is sponsored by hotels but never got it working.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

My husband and I stayed here while traveling to Lucerne for our honeymoon. It is in a great location! Close to downtown Lucerne, Chapel Bridge, restaurants, bars and the train station. If you plan to rent a car like we did, their parking lot is fairly small and an extra cost. The staff was very friendly and nice. The basic room we stayed in was small and did not include a fridge, but very clean.
