Hotels with Breakfast in Lucerne

I had been checking for room availability at Cascada almost every week because it seemed to sell out so quickly. When a room finally became available for our travel dates, I booked it immediately. After staying here, I completely understand why it's so popular. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and surprisingly spacious by Swiss hotel standards. One detail I absolutely loved was the hotel's unique waterfall theme. Every room is named after a Swiss waterfall, and there's a QR code in the room that lets you learn more about the waterfall you're staying in. Ours was the *Rheinfall* room, which added a fun and memorable local touch to our stay. Breakfast was excellent with a good variety of options, making it easy to start the day well-fed before exploring Lucerne. The staff were warm and welcoming throughout our stay, with the reception team being especially friendly and helpful. The location is another major highlight. The hotel is only about a 6-minute walk from Lucerne train station, making it very convenient for travellers arriving by train. At the same time, it's situated on a quieter street, away from the crowds and traffic around the station area, so it feels much more peaceful. The Old Town and the iconic Chapel Bridge are also within easy walking distance, around 10 to 12 minutes away. As an added bonus, guests receive a visitor card that provides free public transportation during their stay, making it even easier to get around the city. Overall, Cascada Boutique Hotel offers the perfect balance of convenience, comfort, and thoughtful hospitality. From the spacious themed rooms to the friendly staff and excellent location, it's easy to see why this hotel is often fully booked. I would happily stay here again on my next visit to Lucerne.

This is the best hostel I've ever stayed in. The capsule rooms are true to their name – each guest gets their own capsule. They have both mixed and female-only dorms. Inside the small capsules, there's ventilation, so the temperature is just right, and the beds are already made up. Check-in is self-service; you'll receive your room number and door code via email. This same code also opens your capsule. Both the room and capsule locks are touch-screen. The guests are very considerate; most people who pack up early do so outside the room. There's no dishwashing area, but you can give your dishes to the staff to wash. The staff are very enthusiastic, especially one uncle and a young lady. The lady even helped us find a storage room for our luggage.

The Radisson Blu Hotel, Lucerne boasts a truly perfect location, right next to the train station and the KKL Culture and Convention Centre. It's just a few minutes' walk to the lakeside and Chapel Bridge. The rooms are spacious and bright, with efficient air conditioning. Some lake view rooms even offer distant views of Mount Pilatus. The bedding is comfortable, and soundproofing is excellent. Front desk service is warm and professional; they've swiftly helped guests change rooms and even mailed back forgotten items free of charge, which was very impressive. Breakfast reviews are mixed; some guests praise its variety, while others complain about stale bread and limited seating. Wi-Fi can be a bit unstable occasionally, and during peak season, staffing sometimes feels a little stretched. Overall, combining convenience with comfort, it's an efficient choice for exploring Lucerne.

This hotel of Luzern boasts an exceptional location. It’s a convenient walk from the train station even with luggage. Getting to the area’s major attractions is easy. Plenty of restaurants and supermarkets are nearby. The rooms are very clean and offer nice city views. Highly recommended—great choice for your stay.

First off, the location isn't too far from Lucerne train station. We had a Swiss Pass, so we could take the bus for free. We rode one stop, got off, crossed a road, and turned left – super convenient! Many bus routes pass by, and Chapel Bridge is just a walk away. The hotel upgraded us to a deluxe double room, which was much larger. There was plenty of space for luggage, and it didn't feel cramped at all. The room was clean, and they provided two large bottles of water daily, which was enough for our needs. Everything was great, and the only reason I didn't give full marks was the extra tax charged, as others have mentioned. Initially, the front desk staff was polite. When I showed them my booking confirmation, pointing out that the tax on the order differed from what I actually paid, they looked at it for a while, then unhappily replied, 'I don't know.' I ended up contacting Ctrip customer service. They told me they'd contacted the hotel but couldn't negotiate. Finally, Ctrip customer service said they would compensate the difference with points, which arrived quickly – kudos to Ctrip! Many people have brought up this tax issue, and I'm not sure where the problem lies. Other hotels in Switzerland charged exactly what was stated on the booking. Only this hotel charged differently. Although it wasn't a lot of money, it felt a bit uncomfortable. Also, someone mentioned a 100 CHF deposit per day, which they indeed charged. When I checked out, I specifically asked when it would be refunded, and the front desk said the same day, which it was. In Lucerne, there's a Chinese restaurant called No. 8 that serves delicious Chinese food, completely authentic to domestic tastes. The owner is also very nice and polite.

I give this Lucerne hotel full marks. It's directly opposite the train station, and close to cruise terminals and popular attractions. There are plenty of supermarkets and restaurants nearby, so buying food back to enjoy on the hotel balcony for dinner was fantastic. The hotel breakfast offered a wide variety of options. I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time I visit.

The location is fantastic, very close to several famous attractions, all just a few minutes' walk away. They offer a discount card that allows free use of public transport within the city. Parking requires finding a white space yourself, but you can arrange a CHF 20 all-day (24-hour) parking discount (this needs to be arranged at the hotel reception). The hotel has a drink machine, a salad and pasta vending machine, and a free 24-hour microwave for guest convenience.

Really was pleasantly surprised by how good this hotel was. Comfortable clean rooms, clean towels, comfortable beds and duvets, super friendly front desk, and really great location. A special mention of the quality breakfast spread which I look forward every morning. Strongly recommended.

It was a late check-in, so they left an envelope with instructions and keys for us. When I called reception, it turned out the manager spoke 6 languages, including Russian, and guided me through the check-in remotely. Special thanks to manager Bangin Salih for the prompt assistance with check-in and the attentive care for guests. It was a pleasure to feel such care and willingness to help in any situation. The quality of the bed linen was delightful, and the duvet and pillows felt like clouds 💔. The cleanliness, service, and especially the breakfast were beyond all praise 😍

Probably my experience at this Lucerne Youth Hostel branch wasn't the best — though it certainly wasn't bad either. I suspect that was partly because I was coming directly from their Zermatt branch, where I had an absolutely amazing stay. I should also mention something I forgot to include in my Zermatt review: at the Zermatt Youth Hostel, they offer the thoughtful option of a lunch box if you can't stay for breakfast the next morning. The cook there made me the best sandwich ever 😍, which I enjoyed after my hike to the Matterhorn — with a Matterhorn view, no less! I think that's such a wonderful gesture for travelers. I asked about a similar option at the Lucerne Youth Hostel, but they didn't offer it, which was a bit disappointing. The breakfast also lacked any fresh veggies 🥗. I hope they might consider implementing a lunch box service; I believe early-bird travelers would really appreciate it. On a positive note, I really appreciated that they had an iron available at the reception — that came in very handy. That said, I didn't find the facilities particularly comfortable or cosy overall.
