Hotel Royal Luzern
Staff member was very welcoming and helpful with suggestions on what to consider seeing during the day. Room was smaller than expected but we were only there to sleep so didn’t bother us much. View from the bedroom window was outstanding!! Hotel was very quiet and lacking any atmosphere, no food ...

Andermatt Alpine Apartments
The room was great and the location was perfect. The staff during check in was rude and not very helpful. The listing says 2 beds but he blamed us for not warning them that we needed the 2nd bed. Why would we worn them if it says 2 beds??? other than that it was a great stay.
