An old vintage hotel which located in the center of the city. Located right across the pier & train station. We booked a family room which is spacious. But the room carpet is something not for me. The room has everything you need except slippers so bring your own if need.

Very good, but the self-check-in process took quite a long time because there was a lot of information to fill out.

Hotel location: Right next to the train station, a two-minute walk away, and close to Charles Bridge. There are many restaurants nearby. Cleanliness: Very good. Service: Luggage storage is available, the process is quick, and free bus tickets are provided (though I didn't use them).

The room was quite small and didn't have air conditioning. Since there was a heatwave, it was very hot, even though the hotel provided a fan. Overall, the room was clean and had all the necessary amenities. It would have been much better if there had been air conditioning.

The hotel does not allow early check-in.
Convenience of transportation: The location is quite far from the train station, about a 15-minute walk, which would be very inconvenient with large luggage.
Cleanliness: Pretty good.
Service: Average.

thankful for the friendly reception staff. It is small but comfortable and clean. + microwave and an area with paper cups and wooden forks. +24 hours reception, free to store luggage after check out but need to pay before check-in. to bring your own toilteries as they do not provide complimentary toothpaste and tooth brush.

The hotel is a 10-minute walk from the train station and easy to find using Google Maps. It turns out it's a joint venture with the Ambassador Hotel Lucerne. In the hotel lobby, you can make your own tea or coffee. The breakfast selection seems small, but it has all the basics, which is nice.

Best value hotel in central lucerne. Close to everything, though small, the room was clean and comfortable with private bathroom and fan provided. Cant complain for the price paid relative to other nearby hotels.

What to know before visiting Lucerne
What to do in Lucerne year-round
Lucerne is a compact city best known for Cruises, Tours and Museums, with Cable cars and Outdoor & sports activities rounding out the top experiences by booking volume on Klook. The booking rhythm shows a strong late-summer and early-autumn spike, with September and August standing out as the busiest months, while late winter and spring are much quieter. Use Klook booking data to plan around that crowd pattern: decide whether you want peak-season atmosphere or quieter sightseeing. For lively lakeside cruises and full tour programmes, aim for the busier months; for calm museum visits and outdoor escapes pick quieter months.
Best months to visit Lucerne
Lucerne’s busiest period on Klook is late summer and early autumn, with September and August showing the highest demand and a noticeable peak in bookings. The quietest stretch is late winter and early spring, with February and March much quieter than a typical month. Prices rise through autumn into December, with the priciest month in December and the lowest typical prices in June, so costs and crowds don’t always match — September is very busy but not the priciest, while December is the most expensive even though demand is lower than the late-summer peak. For lower prices and fewer crowds, consider May–June; for peak-season atmosphere pick August–September.
| Month | Demand Level | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| January | Quieter than usual | AUD 296 |
| February | Very quiet | AUD 166 |
| March | Very quiet | AUD 102 |
| April | Very quiet | AUD 102 |
| May | Quieter than usual | AUD 70 |
| June | About average | AUD 69 |
| July | Quieter than usual | AUD 115 |
| August | Peak demand | AUD 125 |
| September | Peak demand | AUD 170 |
| October | Peak demand | AUD 212 |
| November | Busier than usual | AUD 317 |
| December | Quieter than usual | AUD 323 |
Demand is bookings in that month compared with a typical month, from historical Klook booking data, grouped into the demand levels above; typical price is the median paid on Klook in that month; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, July 2025 – June 2026.
Tips for travellers from Australia
Most travellers from Australia book Lucerne experiences with some flexibility: they typically lock things in about 4 days ahead, while the most organised book up to 31 days out. That means you can often secure activities at short notice, but during the peak months of August and September it pays to book earlier to guarantee specific cruise or tour times. Use Klook to compare options and lock your preferred times in advance for busy dates; for quieter months you can be more spontaneous and still find good choices. Based on Klook booking data, consider booking now for late-summer slots and stay flexible for early-spring visits.
