Clean and quiet room, very good location, expensive (but seems to be in the Lucerne price range). The room (5 beds) was small but the beds were good. The wifi did not work (as usual). Overal it was a decent place to stay for a night with a family. More

...with the favorable reviews here. The Roesli is part of the Baseltor, where several reviewers felt as I did about the guest annex. The proprietor was rude and brusque. The room was drab and very crowded - could not get access to one side of the bed because it was blocked by a huge bed/chair (we moved it, with difficulty).... More

We booked 2 nights but stayed 4! Our first room was huge but then got moved to a 2 nd room which was quite small but still nice and comfy! The location is perfect as it is a 5 minute walk from the station, and you have the water and restaurants at your doorstep! The staff were very helpful and... More

Central location, within walking distance of the rail station, and not difficult to find - within 150 metres of the historical museum, you may need to carry a map. Check in at Hotel across the street and down 30 metres (staff service was slow, as she had other duties as well, no big deal). The south side of the river,... More

Great location, clean ,neat. As usual, just like many other hostels & inns, there are no lifts. Opt out for breakfast as there are nice & cheaper cafes just across & along the streets. Only unhappy experience was the staff rang once on our door , open it with his keys within a few seconds while we were still in... More

My family of 5 stayed here for one night and the room was spacious, beds were comfortable and the location is great (near the river and the old town). Breakfast was good, mixture of breads, cereals, yogurts, fruit. Staff replaced the food quickly and it was all fresh. Staff were helpful and friendly. There is no onsight parking but there... More

Stayed 2 nights over a weekend. By the ridiculous pricing norms of Switzerland, this was one of the cheaper options available at 150CHF per night. Easy check-in across the street; small room with no amenities other than a tiny TV. Small shower that seemed to me deliberately tampered with so that water came out in trickles and spurts, discouraging you... More

My sister and I stayed here for a week in August/September 2009. It's in the heart of Lucerne, which is a jump off point to the Alps. The staff is friendly, and the rooms are okay. Not dirty per se, but improvement is needed and they can be smoky as the landings on the floors are designated smoking areas. So... More

Stayed here for two nights, wish I would've paid more for a nicer place. The previous reviews convinced me to book a room, but I was greatly disappointed. The bed was horrible, lumpy mattress, stained sheets, and I had to keep the bathroom door closed because it smelled like stagnant water. While the location is great - close to everything!... More
