Good Location. Comfortable.
Room is small and comfortable. The bunk bed design is little close-phobic. Beds are comfortable. Washer/Dryer onsite is perfect, working and pay by app which is very convenient. The check-in process little confused. Promised instruction email did not send. Use personal phone scan the code linking to check-in is the best because you will need the app to open doors anyway. The best solution is download their app.

Great stay. Being English it was difficult reading some directions in the laundry we-wash app required. No coffee available in the rooms - tea in the laundry area. Never could get the elements on the stove to work - no instructions. Other than maid service a truly no contact experience. Crazy stairwells - like an Essher

Be Careful
Room was nice and clean and laundry facilities was great. Beware of the magical room safes were your valuables can disappear. Wish I would have watched YouTube about this before using it.

Located in the center of the Lucern city hub. Very convenient amd close to the bus stop and the Lucern Train Station. The room was clean and the kitchen has all the amenities except a microwave oven. The luggage locker is very useful for us. But it would be better if there is a lock on the door which can be opened by the residents only.

Aside from the great location, aesthetics and initial interaction with the staff, this hotel was a very bad experience.
The main issue is the obnoxiously loud machinery noise every few minutes (including overnight) from a generator or something else in the hotel. I think the hotel knows this, as they even include ear plugs in the bathroom. It is a very low pitched noise and also comes at random times which means we did not get much sleep during our stay. The walls are also very thin and can hear most of the surrounding rooms.
The room itself is quite clean and a fridge was a bonus. However, the kitchen stovetop kettle and pot were rusty so we had to get our hot water from the community room.
