Best Kriens Hotels

We loved this stay. The room was large, clean with beautiful views. The staff were very helpful and friendly. We felt at home. We would wake up to the beautiful sound of cowbells in the hills. Hiking down to the bus stop was magical. If you don’t like to hike or walk, rent a car. We loved the hike. Felt more like locals. We would definitely stay here again.

I picked this hotel after reading reviews on Trip Advisor and its proximity to the train station Kriens Mattenhof which is at 10 minutes walking distance. It is just a stop away from Luzern. The hotel was neat, safe for a solo female traveller. Good wi-fi connection. They will charge something called the city tax when you check in. They gave me a local travel card which was valid on local transport. I visited Mount Pilatus from here which is not very far off. Just take a bus, not the train if you wish to visit Mount Pilatus while at Kriens. I made this mistake and wasted an hour waiting for the next bus. The hotel breakfast spread is good, not too much variety, but filling. The staff was generally friendly and helpful. I wrote to them before traveling there to know the best way to get there and I received prompt response on email. The room has a portable fan which was really helpful during summer time. There are a good number of budget food options around like McDonalds, Subway, Migros supermarket, etc. Overall, good experience. Will definitely recommend it.

Our room was quiet at night even though it was facing road and Mt Pilatus. The hotel has a very good sound proof windows installed. Hotel was near a bus stop and journey to main train station was about 20 mins.

The hostel was very cozy and a convenient location. Although it is not actually in Lucerne the bus station is right outside and you get free tickets! The beds were very comfortable and we slept great. However, the check in desk has nobody there from 11 am to 4 pm check in... where were we supposed to put our luggage? Also, the shower wouldn't drain and was very small and gross. If you're a budget traveler, I would still recommend staying here!

Never have I come across staff that are so genuinely interested in your comfort and wellbeing. 99% of hotels have staff that are helpful and friendly but chatting to Samer at reception for 2 minutes revealed a person that really wanted to make sure you had what you needed and were comfortable. He insisted on going out of his way to make sure we had what we needed. We were travelling light (backpacks only) but Samer insisted on carrying our youngest’s backpack to the room (note, there is no lift). Located with a bus stop right next to the hotel and given a free city pass for all guests made access to town and the surrounds super easy - you’re only a couple of minutes from the main station. The rooms and hotel are neat and clean and set in a quiet and picturesque residential area. Our rooms had TV (that actually had watchable channels) coffee station, kettle, hair dryer, wardrobe, luggage counters and built in heating, but no mini fridge. There were plenty of plug points with USB-A plugs as well, making charging devices easy and convenient. Our bathrooms were small but had all the functionality offered in bigger and more expensive hotel rooms. I would highly recommend Hotel Spatz simply due to their staff - you can be confident that should something be needed in your stay, they will go above and beyond to assist you. Thanks for a wonderful stay to Samer and the team.

We stayed here over Christmas on a Leger coach holiday. I have mixed views about this hotel. The bedrooms are very comfortable and the bathroom is as good as any we have had on a coach holiday. The down side is the facilities. The food was basic but good, however there was no choice. It was a set menu each night. Also the bar is no longer used (as we were told). This meant that if visitors wanted a drink after dinner, they had to remain at the dining table, or use one of the two high tables and stools in the reception. While we are OK with tall tables, it wasn't to everyone's taste, and space was limited in any case. We wouldn't want to visit this hotel again.

Service: Super good. Since it is a long way down the stairs, there is a bell to inform customers to ring the bell and the hotel staff will help carry the luggage and send customers to the room to guide them to check in! Environment: Overlooking the view of Lake Lucerne Facilities: The bed and pillows in the room are very comfortable and soft

We stayed at Galaxy Apartment - or I should say one of the Galaxy apartments for a couple of days. With three people, the falt was a little bit packed to be honest. The bathroom is very small. One of the things which disturbed me the most was the noise at night. People seem to come and go whenever they like and make a lot of noise (scream/shout) in the stairway. I don't like to be woken up at 2am during my vacation. While having TV is not that important, let's note that it was totally impossible to watch any program for more than 5 minutes, because the connection would break down. Additionally, the recent heatwave makes the flat quite hot and stuffy. We had to leave windows open during the night. That was probably for the best because trying to close the shutters was yielding such a noise. I thought they would break. Fortunately, the street was very quiet. Finally, they should provide more information regarding the parking. I think this is quite the minimum. We were really struggling to understand how to get the daily ticket.

We absolutely adored our time at this hotel, and I would definitely recommend it, especially due to the cheaper price in comparison to other hotels in Lucerne. We stayed in room 311, and it was exactly like the photos and what we expected. Very clean and staff are really nice (they even gave us a little lucky stone on check out!) Breakfast was open from 6 am till 10 am, which was perfect for us as we had to get up earlier for our flight home. It consisted of scrambled egg, bacon, and sausages, as well as having a range of cereals such as cornflakes and bread with a toaster. Plenty of drinks - orange juice and apple juice - as well as a range of hot drinks. WiFi was also great and worked well however, we did have to reconnect each time we left the hotel and came back, but this wasn't an issue for us. This was the perfect stay for us for our 4 nights in Switzerland as we used Lucerne as a base city whilst exploring other places that were all a train journey away. Hotel is about a 5 minute walk from the train station and maybe around 10 minutes or a bit less depending on how fast you walk from the main shopping strip. Only problem I had was I found it difficult to wash my hair as there was no moveable shower head to get the shampoo out my hair😂 other than that everything was perfect and we loved our stay in Switzerland!🥰
