Top Kriens Hotel Reviews

AMERON Luzern Hotel Flora

AMERON Luzern Hotel Flora

8/10 Good
"Very nice hotel. Well situated in Lucern. I have it a generous 4/5. It slightly missed the mark in customer service; I took my wife for a big birthday and requested making it extra special. The hotel did not accommodate or ask me what I would like. This is a first, as we have arrived in rooms to find a birthday cake or a nice personal message at the very least. Also, there were a pair of boots in the wardrobe of the room when we checked in. I took these to reception, where they apologised. Did make me question how well the room was checked and cleaned."
