Uncomfortable stay
Website was down and we got locked out of our room. The rooms are noisy, you can hear everyone leaving and entering the hotel. The pillows and air conditioning leave a lot to be desired.

A poorly designed air conditioning system had a condensate pump clicking very loudly every minute or two - which kept us awake for most of the trip.

The room was extremely basic and bathroom was small. Shower water caused puddles on the floor. It had a hostel vibe but location was excellent.

Very nice room. AC was great. Not sure if all rooms are like this but our room seemed very new like it had been redone recently. The location was perfect, right in the middle of everything in Lucerne. We needed to do laundry and they have brand new machines that worked great.

Perfect location in The Old Town. Convenient self check-in and phone room key. High tech laundry room via app was a plus I was not expecting. Highly recommend ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great stay. Being English it was difficult reading some directions in the laundry we-wash app required. No coffee available in the rooms - tea in the laundry area. Never could get the elements on the stove to work - no instructions. Other than maid service a truly no contact experience. Crazy stairwells - like an Essher

Good Location. Comfortable.
Room is small and comfortable. The bunk bed design is little close-phobic. Beds are comfortable. Washer/Dryer onsite is perfect, working and pay by app which is very convenient. The check-in process little confused. Promised instruction email did not send. Use personal phone scan the code linking to check-in is the best because you will need the app to open doors anyway. The best solution is download their app.

Amazing stay!
I got really scared reading the other reviews and almost canceled.
Im very happy that I didn't cancel. The place was super comfortable. I reserved a room with the kitchen.
Kitchen and utensils where good. Space was awesome. Loved the decor of the whole studio.
Some reviews state that theres nowhere to leave luggage, that is un true. They have a place to leave luggage very accesible.
It has an elevator, place is kinda like a small maze, some stair will be inevitable but not so much. Just a couple of steps.
Laundry service was awesome, download an app, pay through there, have your space reserved and done!
They have a tea and spakling water faucet in this same room that is superb!
Additional coffee at Rokka is amazing!

The property has self check in, which was complicated because the email with the passcode was sent to an Expedia email making it not easy to find.
The room was very cramped but clean.
If you have any accessibility issues this place would be difficult because of the number of stairs.

The location is excellent, however the property can be maintained better. Our room was so dusty, we had to wash all utensils before using them. The towel warmer didn't work and the AC barely cooled the room, we slept with windows open. This is a hostel and that's how it is set up.

Be Careful
Room was nice and clean and laundry facilities was great. Beware of the magical room safes were your valuables can disappear. Wish I would have watched YouTube about this before using it.

Located in the center of the Lucern city hub. Very convenient amd close to the bus stop and the Lucern Train Station. The room was clean and the kitchen has all the amenities except a microwave oven. The luggage locker is very useful for us. But it would be better if there is a lock on the door which can be opened by the residents only.
