Very friendly and helpful staff. Reasonable breakfast but no hot food. The hotel is clean, comfortable and in good condition, though the bed base bit worn out. Overall would recommend this hotel which is 18 minutes away in the train from Lucern. Conveniently next to the train station. Good location to travel to various places of interest.

Okay for one night. Quite pricey. There was no air conditioning in the room unfortunately (although we knew about it beforehand), but thankfully there was a fan. Plenty of choices at breakfast.

The check-in process was smooth and hassle-free. The staff member who welcomed us was exceptionally friendly and professional, creating a warm and inviting first impression. We stayed in room 209, which was perfect for our family of four. The room was spacious, clean, and well-maintained, providing plenty of space for everyone to feel comfortable. Large windows filled the room with natural light, enhancing the open and airy feel. The view from our room was truly breathtaking. Overlooking the mountains, it offered a serene and picturesque backdrop that made our stay even more memorable.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay, from check-in all the way to a lovely breakfast just before check-out. Such an incredibly cosy, lovely and clean place. Truly amazing views and especially love the 'bird' theme; goes so well with the setting and beauty of Switzerland. Thank you so much!

We had a great time staying at AVA hotel and our room which was a junior suite had plenty of space and Yvonne was wonderful and very helpful. The only things that we recommend to add are first and foremost air conditioning which is lacking in most properties in Switzerland and as the temperatures are constantly getting warmer it is becoming a necessity and not a luxury. Secondly it would be great to have the option of having a small refrigerator in the rooms. We bought a lot of great Swiss chocolate and fortunately Yvonne accommodated us by keeping them in the main refrigerator to keep them from melting.

Dommage car bel etablissement.

Quel dommage, L hotel est magnifique,les chambres aussi,le personnel est adorable et le petit dejeuner parfait,mais manque l essentiel en été, la clim. Les chambres orientees vers la rue dokvent etre ouvertes la nuit pour ne pas etouffer et la, c est la nuit blanche assuree avec la station de train de banlieu juste en face. C est vraiment dommage une fois fermee les baies vitrees sont tres isolantes mais impossible par canicule de ne pas ouvrir. Nous ne reviendrons malheureusement pas ,une nuit sans dormir nous a vacciné. Comment ne pas installer la clim de nos jours pour un etablissement de ce standing?

Zimmer Top

Die Zimmer sind grosszügig und sehr sauber. Für ein vier Sterne Haus ist das Frühstück sehr überschaubar. Zwei Sorten Aufschnitt, Brötchen kommen von einer Grossbäckerei und sind klein. Das Hotel ist unmittelbar an einer Bahnstrecke. Für empfindliche Menschen problematisch. Mit Ohropax, was vom Hotel gestellt wird, kein Problem.
