Check in was welcoming and efficient. We even got a glass of prosecco. Had a great meal in the hotel bar. Free mini bar was a great surprise. Awesome view from our balcony. Staff was top notch.
We absolutely loved our stay! The rooms were beautifully decorated, the bed was super comfortable, the views were spectacular and the staff was fantastic.
Beautiful property and the staff was unbelievably helpful and gracious. I will never forget the sumptuous breakfast in the dining room overlooking the entire Lucerne valley at sunrise. I will definitely return.
Amazing hotel!! We were greeted so kindly with complimentary wine and were allowed to check in early. The room is beautiful as are the restaurant and bar. The most incredible thing about this hotel though is the view. It really is like staying in a castle. Cannot recommend enough!
This is my third time staying at Chateau Guestch. It is absolutely gorgeous, literally out of a fairy tale. The staff is warm, welcoming, kind and genuinely helpful. I will most definitely return.
A somewhat quirky hotel that is not your run of the mill location. Popular among Amercans. Major glimmers of 19th century charm away from the bustle of Lucerne, yet very close via the funicular (or mini tram), which is charming and free for guests. A great place for gentle hikes and walking in the woods. Lucern has a clear culture of kindness. Be sure to fit in with the flow and be a gracious traveler!
This is a really superb hotel. The room was extremely comfortable and the views of Lucerne (including from the little balcony of our room) were incredible. Everything about our stay was great, including the friendly and helpful staff (who were very welcoming of our cockapoo dog who travelled with us). Being up on the hill (with easy access via a funicular lift) also makes the hotel feel very safe and private. While it's obviously not the cheapest hotel around, we thought it was very good value for money. Highly recommended.
