We liked the property’s proximity to many of the sights to see in Luzern, however one day we came back from a day of going out and the door was wide open. We doubled checked when we left that the door was closed, so it must have been housekeeping that left our door wide open. Luckily all our things were still in the room and not stolen. After that we did not let housekeeping come into our room in fear that they would leave our door wide open again.

Rude receptionist
The receptionist guy not friendly, I left my insulin at the room and i came back from olten back to luzern to retrieve my insulin and i ran from the train station to the hotel and the receptionist guy was so rude he thought i was rushing him, i was just out of breath because i ran from the terminal worried that the cleaner threw my insulin, he was rude when i was asking him if they already cleaned the room. He said i dont know!!! And just gave me key to the room and look for it .

Excellent location in historic inner city! Walkable everywhere in town to restaurants, shopping and sightseeing from the hotel! Wonderful staff at checking office located right at the hotel Krone right around the corner! Clean room and facility! Only very few utility vehicles as that part of the city is closed to traffic! Only minutes away walk from the train station across the bridge. Thank you altstadt Magic lucern hotel!👍

Save yourself and your trip by not booking this property. All the things mentioned in other reviews (webs, check in at other hotel, no parking, terrible odour in the room, and flight of stairs) are all true. I wasted 1 hr just to find the hotel, another hr to cancel the property and find another hotel because the hotel was in such poor state.

There are several different rooms offered at this location. Be aware that not all rooms are appropriate for all people. Someone over six feet tall would find the shower in the Angel Room of this hotel very difficult.

We reached the hotel on the 6th October. The reception staff namely; Kay was very helpful and accomodating, on our request we were provided the room a bit earlier than the check-in time. Our room was on the 6th floor. After check-in we went around the Lucerne Lake. After coming back to the hotel we found that the elevator was not working so we went to the reception and informed the front office man who expressed his inability to do anything because no technician would be available on that day as it was a Sunday. I explained to the front office man that it would not be possible for my wife to climb the stairs and he should shift us to another property. To our absolute pleasure and surprise we were accommodated in a suite on the 1st Floor

All in all it’s an interesting place to stay with each room having a theme. But the parking is very hard to navigate, hotel offers valet but to find your way to the valet is hard. The check in desk is at a nearby hotel in a different building. Staff is friendly and helpful.

Stayed in Egypt room which is top floor. Themed rooms are weird and kinda fun at the same time. Thank goodness weather was cool enough for open windows given room has no AC. Expensive due to location in center of old city. The beautiful clock tower ( just across the square) chimes the hours all night which made for unrestful sleep with windows open. I’d recommend ownership add AC to the room.

The day we arrived, the gentleman that greeted us was not the friendliest. Some people should understand that if you are working at the front desk you should be nice and welcoming to your guests. I wish I had his name. Later we were helped by a blond guy that was super nice. On our check out Kai was also super nice as well. In general the hotel is ok. Was close to everything. For one night was good enough. We opted to pay for breakfast which was great and the variety was very good.
