My stay at Hotel Central Am See was amazing. The hotel is beautiful and the views from our room including our terrace were breathtaking. I would highly recommend staying here, for the view and the staff who were very friendly and welcoming. We were even able to use the swimming pool in October which was alot of fun. I already can’t wait to go back. Thank you Hotel Central for a wonderful visit.
Amazing trip and newly renovated hotel. Our room looked out on the lake and it was gorgeous. Would recommend staying here if you have a car and are wanting to visit Lucerne. Glad we stayed here versus the bigger city.
Such a beautiful hotel. Seems newly resonated. Great location. Walkable from the boat stop. Shocked they are a 3 star hotel. Would consider to be a 4 star easily. The pool was amazing with easy access to the lake. Would definitely make a trip back and stay again.
Not only was the area beautiful. The hotel was perfect, the room with the balcony view was breathtaking. The staff was all professional and friendly. All 5 stars.
This was my first week ever in Europe and this hotel was my favorite. It started with the super nice, accommodating staff and continued with the beautiful view of the lake from my room. They were in the final parts of remodeling but my room was perfectly done with a great view of Mt Pilatus over the little pool. Dinner was a bit pricey but the breakfast buffet was certainly worth it. Highly recommended...oh, and take the ship to get there. Its a very short walk to the hotel 👍
Older (I'm guessing) traditional hotel about a 45-minute boat ride from Lucerne (boat is a five minute walk). While hotel has an older charm, rooms are clean and modern, and the property is well maintained. Great property right on the water with direct lake access. Several restaurants nearby and easy access to Mt Rigi.
The hotels is nice and renovated. It was really hot outside, 37°C, airconditioning is not working yet due to regulations, this is not mentioned in the booking details, we had to sleep in a very hot room. They did offer us 2 fans. But they were so small it didnt help much. They are ordening new fans to keep guests happy.
Hotel is expensive, diner has an excellent view but the prices are just to high.
Breakfast is ok, we did have to wait 30min for some fruit because the plate was empty.
Overal nice hotel, but

Hotel was nice, nothing super spectacular but the views were fantastic! Reminder - NO AC so with the windows open you tend to get some bugs. But all in all the area was great with awesome views!

Beautiful view of the water and a quaint town. Very clean. Several things to do. Many places to eat and transportation by a boat to Lucerne.
Excellent position .A béautiful hotel with a very confortable room. One big surprisedisappointement , no iron available for clothes after a long journey and no Electric adaptateur for the swiss plugs !
The view was a Fairy Tale. I’m from AZ so was to cold for me to go into the pool. The wait staff Nicholas and Matz made our stay very fun. Will plan another trip there someday.
