Such a beautiful stay. Easy to get to from the train and bus station in Lucerne, just take bus 21 and it takes you straight to the front of the hotel. One of the only properties in Lucerne that is on the lake, we swam in the lake in front of the hotel… we will be back. Rooms were very well maintained and clean.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

Our room with a balcony overlooking the lake was perfect. View was stunning and the room was so clean and updated. We loved having lake access to swim, and the sauna and steam room were an added plus. We had the best dinner service from Carlo and truly enjoyed our time here. Will be recommending to friends who visit!

The view is paradisiacal. It’s easy to get there from Zurich, with just one bus. The hotel is somewhat old, but very charming.

10/10 Exceptional

Wow such a stunning location right on lake Luzern. We had lakefront room with balcony. Beautiful location about 15 minutes drive outside of downtown Luzern. It was too cold to use the pool but they have a nice relaxing wellness center with sauna. They have an outdoor hot tub but apparently you had to reserve in advance (which was not explained when we made reservation) so unfortunately we were not able to use. Otherwise the staff was super helpful! You can catch ferry boat right next to the hotel which is nice way to ride into Luzern and see the lake. Would definitely stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The location is absolutely stunning, and the view is beautiful. From the very first moment, we were welcomed with a big smile and felt truly comfortable. The staff were kind, caring, and always happy to help. Getting to the city center was super easy, and with a pass from the hotel, we could use public transportation for free. We were very happy with our stay — thank you so much for everything!

This is a beautiful property! We were in Switzerland for 10 days and although we were only at this location one night it was hands down the nicest room of the stay. The lake view room was so beautiful. Great location and very convenient for travellers as the bus station is right outside the building.

This is a perfect hotel on the lake

The hotel was beautiful and in a picture perfect spot on Lake Lucerne. The service was perfection. Vanessa welcomed us and helped us learn more about the city so we could orient ourselves. We are so appreciative of their attention to detail to make your stay not just comfortable, but memorable.

The best view Lucerne has to offer. An excpetional experience for the family. Could not have asked for anything better.

Wow! Just the place to stay if visiting Lucern - transportation to and from city is complimentary. The hotel is on the water and has all the facilities. The hospitality is top notch. What made our stay totally memorable is our interaction with Vanessa at the front desk. Any company would be so fortunate to have an employee like Vanessa. We loved out stay.

This is a beautiful hotel on the lake, with wonderful, friendly staff. We were upgraded to a room with balcony without asking. One can swim in both the pool and the lake. Extraordinary setting, large, comfortable rooms, excellent breakfast, lovely terrace. We'll return!
Verified review

8/10 Very good

Excellent and friendly staff made us welcome and offered a change to a lakeside view. The lighting in the bedroom was dim except at the desk - we would liked to have had more conventional lighting. The double bed was comfortable but we also struggled to accommodate two large duvets on the bed, ending up laying on one end to anchor it.

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed at the Seehotel Kastanienbaum between 28/12 2024 - 1/1 2025. Upon arrival the greeting was very friendly (and in perfect English). We were given details of the hotel, breakfast times, amenities such as Hot Tub and Sauna Boat for hire etc. We were also given a FREE bus pass for the duration of our stay. The bus service to and from Lucerne was regular and only 20 mins, the bus stop is literally 30 seconds from leaving the reception of the hotel. We used the bus every day. The room was spacious, a big bed, it was very warm and the bathroom had a great super-powerful shower. On the first night we had a cheese fondue in the private huts they have at the back of the hotel. It was great fun eating out zero degrees. We were kept warm by heated seat cushions and plenty of blankets. The only negative was it was foggy and the lake view we booked wasn’t there, obviously not the hotel’s fault. A nice touch was a Happy New Year card in our room on the 31st Dec and some biscuits and Konfi when we checked out.

I loved the location right by the lake. It was very comfortable to relax and take a dip in the lake or the pool. It was also very easy to get to from Lucerne. I was able to go up to Mt. Pilatus do some sightseeing and still have 4 PM onward to relax by the lake for my day trip.

Verified review

8/10 Very good

Stayed 3 nights at the hotel. The strong points of the hotel are: wonderful view, nice sized rooms and very professional and helpful staff. Also, the free transportation to Lucerne was quick (16 minutes), convenient (30 meters from the hotel entrance) and free. It definately was a bonus. The rooms were a bit spartan and could benefit from some more color and a comfortable chair to sit on inside the room to view the truly spectacular view. We took a see-view with balcony room and the additional cost is very much worth it. The dining was satisfactory+. The breakfast and dinner was solid - but could have been more varied. There is a problem with bees on the terrace area - which takes away from the pleasure of eating outside. The pool was OK. Not really for swimming and the beach was pleasant if small. But, overall - we had a very nice stay and I do recommend the place highly,

Great hotel with an amazing location.

Hotel was gorgeous and right on a lake with mountains all around. Food was spectacular and eating next to the picturesque view made it even better. With all that being said, the front desk kind of stole the show. They were all super friendly, helpful and went out of their way to assist anyway possible.
