Decent hotel. Excellent location. The breakfast that comes with it is a plus, especially considering how expensive dining is around here and Switzerland in general. The dining area also has a community fridge for guests to use along with a microwave. I like the 24/7 free coffee machine and the selections of teaa in the dining area for guests.

Front desk staff was so helpful checking in - gave us suggestions for restaurants, chocolate, sites to see. Breakfast was great, and nice to have access to coffee and drinks throughout our stay, and balcony to relax. Convenient location to the train station and old town. We will be back!

Close to train station, covered bridges, and Old Town, but a bit basic. Front desk personnel were professional and helpful, but the desk and entry are not supervised overnight. One needs a key to enter after hours. Breakfast was plentiful.

Highly recommended hotel in Lucerne.

We found Hotel Central Luzern to be a reasonably priced (relatively speaking) hotel in Lucerne with a lovely breakfast and comfortable rooms. It is very centrally located near the train station and ferry terminal, which was a real benefit not only for walking through the city and visiting other spots on this beautiful lake, but also since we used Lucerne as a hub for day trips to other cities in Switzerland, taking advantage of the excellent train service. Surprisingly quiet, and all the front desk folks were very friendly, helpful and welcoming. The main elevator was not operational during our stay, but a tiny back-up elevator was available and all we needed to transport suitcases to our room and back. Highly recommended.

Don’t bother looking to stay anywhere else than the Hotel Central when visiting Luzern; it’s conveniently situated a short walk from both the station and Old Town. The staff were all delightful and went out of their way to help us enjoy our stay, nothing was too much trouble. The generous and delicious breakfasts were a great start to the day and it was great to be able to enjoy complimentary (good) coffee at any time. The rooms were perfectly comfortable and very clean - all in all our visit to Luzern was made all the better for staying at Hotel Central.
