I was pleasantly surprised by the size of the room and the beautiful view it offered, despite being unable to fully enjoy it at night due to street noise. The hotel's location was slightly further from the center of Lucerne than expected, but the easy access to transportation made up for it. The service was exceptional, with helpful and friendly staff. The dining experience was a highlight, especially the delicious coffee. Overall, a comfortable stay with minor inconveniences.
