I ended up here by happy accident! My booked hotel didn't have my reservation, so last minute I traveled late into Lucerne and stayed here. Turned out to be such a wonderful place! Clean, gorgeous view, great location, wonderful host, and some really lovely other travellers staying there. 5 stars all around. Thank you for letting me stay!
