Top Nottwil Hotel Reviews
Hotel Des Balances
"I loved this hotel. The location was spectacular on the water and right in old town. The restaurant downstairs was terrific. Great food and excellent service. Our room was kind of small as many are in Europe but it was very clean and comfortable."
Hotel Central Luzern
"We found the hotel extremely convenient for the station and for general sightseeing. The staff, in particular the breakfast team, were really friendly and helpful. The breakfast was comprehensive and plentiful and of good quality. Access to drinks and tea and coffee 24/7 was a big bonus. The room and bed were very comfortable. The only criticism I have is that the shower in 104 is low for tall people. I knocked my head on the cross beam a number of times. Also a rubber mat would be useful as getting out of the bath around the fixed shower screen was a bit tricky. Otherwise a brilliant stay."
Grand Hotel National
"It's a beautiful hotel with spectacular views. The hotel staff was extremely nice and helpful. I would have expected the room to be a bit larger for the price, and breakfast at the restaurant was exorbitant. It's right on the lake, and within walking distance to just about everything."
Hotel Continental Park
"Le personnel est très gentil et les chambres sont très propres. Le seul point négatif est la vitre qui sépare le lit de la salle de bain, c'est quand même curieux, sinon le reste rien à dire, c'était parfait et très bien situé."
Radisson Blu Hotel, Lucerne
"Room was kinda older but sleep was priority"
HERMITAGE Lake Lucerne - Beach Club & Lifestyle Hotel
"My favorite hotel of all time"
ibis Styles Luzern
"Friendly & nice front desk personnel. Free drinking water, coffee & other hot drinks. Erton, I think he is the manager was nice & helpful. This Ibis Hotel Lucerne is in the city center. Do not forget to ask for free tram pass. Accessible to many stores & transportation."
ibis budget Luzern City
"Room was cosy, but no tea/coffee making items. Room and ensuite nice and clean. Staff were very helpful and informative. Breakfast was good with large variety of foods avail. Was within walking distance of attractions and old city. Would stay again if visiting Luzerne."

"Room was clean, and very convenient location. I loved the trees out our window."
