Check-in went pretty smooth but when accessing the room we found an old and worn room. Shower did stay in place, door damaged and lower than average breakfast. I do not recommend it.

Perfect location, spacious room.
Lizeth isn’t huge, but this was the ideal location. Checking in and out was super easy and the room was large and clean. Ours faced out into the street, so it got a little noisy early in the morning around 5am with the public transport right below, but nothing insane. Building was very nice and room was comfortable.

Good location. Hard to figure out electrical switches. Room had very poor ventilation and was very stuffy. A fan helped but not much.

Location is very good. It is within a short walking distance to the Chapel Bridge. There is no AC at this building and the room is unbearable for hot summer days. Staff provided a second fan but still very hot. No coffee maker in the room.

4/10 Fair

First, the self check-in didn't work for the credit card payment of the city tax, so I had to go outside of the building to look arounr for the front desk. The staff had to come with me to solve the issue. Second, the Luzerne City Discount Card was never introduced or presented by the staff. After I purchased the bus, train, and cableways and excursions tickets, I was told that there was 10% discount if all tickets with free bus and train rides within the zone if I had the card. Third, the room was super hot that it was hard to sleep. Everything else was good staying at the hotel.

Classic, clean, and comfortable
We stayed one night at Hotel Ambassador before embarking on a road trip around Switzerland. We didn't spend a lot of time at the hotel, just a late check-in with the computer system and a comfy, clean place to sleep before leaving in the morning. The room was fairly small but comfortable, and was outfitted with everything we needed for the night plus some. There was a fan which was nice since it got just a little stuffy in the room overnight, and the bed was comfy though I did bring my own pillow, as I usually find European pillows to be entirely too thin. I very much appreciate that they're dog friendly as well. I would not hesitate to stay here again and would definitely recommend it to others. My only suggestion would be to have some staff on hand at night, for questions or help with check-in. The computer system was easy enough to use, but at first we couldn't get in the lobby door to use it for check-in, because we didn't yet have a key. We also had no idea where the parking garage was, until my husband finally found someone who gave us advice on where to park. It would also be really helpful if the wifi extended to the downstairs lobby area, since many people's cell phones won't work in Switzerland. I got stuck waiting there and couldn't text my husband to let me back in.
