Arlette Am Hauptbahnhof Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was excellent! The hotel was very clean, comfortable, and in a great location. The staff was friendly, helpful, and made us feel welcome throughout our stay. We had a wonderful experience and would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended!"

Hotel Limmathof

10/10 Excellent

"We had an outstanding stay at Hotel Central Luzern—this hotel truly made our stay in Switzerland very memorable! The location is absolutely amazing; everything in the city is within short walking distance, and the main train station is just a few minutes away on foot, making getting around super easy. The customer service here is top-tier. The receptionist was so polite, welcoming, and thoroughly explained the area to us, giving us fantastic recommendations for exploring the Old City along with free local bus passes. The room was wonderfully cozy and stylish, complete with a comfortable blue armchair, an in-room safe, plenty of closet hangers, and complimentary Valser bottled water. Since Swiss hotels often don't have built-in AC, I really appreciated the helpful room guide packed with tips on managing the summer heat. When we requested an extra fan, staff brought it to our room within one minute of asking! On top of that, 24/7 access to the ice machine and guest fridge in the lounge was an absolute game-changer in the summer heat."
