The hotel bldg is a bit dated. You can hear the people chatting in the street until early morning. Footsteps from the upper floors are annoying specially past midnight. The good thing about this hotel is must the location.

Great hotel and location right next to the train station. The only downside was that they weren't staffed over the winter so we had to check in at a different hotel, but it wasn't a big inconvenience.

Dated hotel and rooms need TLC, but great value for price and location. Check in is at a nearby hotel, but very friendly staff. Very close to Lucerne Station. Only concern is there are bars down below and people hung out on the street and got so loud until 2AM on the weekdays and 4AM on a Saturday we were there, hence there was earplugs provided in the room.

A Good Place to Stay in Lucerne
It was a good hotel with a good location. Both check-in and breakfast are in the hotel half a block or less away... which was weird, but not horrible. But it was a very good place to stay, and a good start to our vacation

Hotel Alpina is a convenient and practical option for short visits of Luzern or for concerts at the nearby KKL concert hall. The rooms are spotless and the hotel is 2 min away from the railway station and is located in the center of the city.
