Hotel Alpina Luzern

“A very pleasant experience.”

Just returned from spending 6 mights at the Alpina.Following a smooth check in by Kyllian at the foyer,we went up to our room on the fifth floor,room 52.Upon opening the door,my partner's first words were "Oh no,what are we doing here?"

Just returned from spending 6 mights at the Alpina.Following a smooth check in by Kyllian at the foyer,we went up to our room on the fifth floor,room 52.Upon opening the door,my partner's first words were "Oh no,what are we doing here?" However,by the end of our stay,she didn't want to leave! Okay,the balcony was very small,just big enough for us both to sit outside and relax with a drink and the view isn't outstanding,looking directly into offices opposite and down onto a reasonably busy street. The room itself could possibly do with a little bit of a repaint to make it feel a little fresher,but that is just a personal preference!The room was spotlessly clean throughout,the furniture and cupboard space were very good and the bed itself was comfortable and probably the biggest bed I've ever slept in!The bathroom was spotlessly clean and although the shower was a little on the small side,it worked out fine for us. The breakfast at the Hotel Monopol just a few doors along the street was first class with a good selection of hot and cold food.Eat as much as you want here! The hotel's location was brilliant,being less than 5 mins.walk from the bus and railway stations and the ferry boat terminals.You will find yourselves walking around the city to view the main sites,all being within walking distance of the hotel. All the staff here were excellent.Friendly and knowlegeable,they helped to ensure we had a fabulous stay in this romantic and beautiful city. We would definitely return here and have no hesitation in recommending it to anybody looking for a good,comfortable place to stay and enjoy this wonderful city,

“Lucerne station convenience”

Alpina Hotel is located two minutes from the station. I booked a "Superior Double Room". The spacious room was very underwhelming, tired, and in need of maintenance.

Alpina Hotel is located two minutes from the station. I booked a "Superior Double Room". The spacious room was very underwhelming, tired, and in need of maintenance. At 210CHF or $400AUD per night, I was  disappointed.  There was no air-conditioning [just a vertical stand  blow fan] or a minibar fridge to store personal items - milk, drinks, etc. Reception advised that some superior rooms do have air-conditioning. However, this was not clearly explained. A random lucky dip, it seems. Linen was refreshed daily. A clothes iron is available upon request.

“great place”

This was a great place to stay for our first two days of our trip. We had a room at the front on the hotel and the noise level from the outside sidewalk bar until late at night was only complaint. The breakfasts were fantastic and the location was perfect - near the station and near the sights.
