We really didnt expect much given the price we paid (considered cheap for Swiss Hotel standards) The location rather good; only requires a 5mins bus ride to city centre. The breakfast is good, and staff is friendly. but note that the wifi is chargeable (1st hour free).

I enjoyed the Alpha very much on this solo trip to Lucerne. I had initially booked through a hostel site, so was even happier to discover upon my arrival that there were, indeed, rooms with bath/shower rather than having to use the one down the hallway. The place was super clean, very easy to find -- only a ten minute... More

Loved the hotel. It was well within walking distance from the lake and the main touristy areas in town. We stayed one night in a double bed room with an attached bathroom. It was spotless and well maintained with an attached balcony and a view of Mount Pilatus. I didn't opt for the single rooms with the shared loos but... More

Great price and not far from the station. Room was basic with shared bathroom/toilet. The room had a sink. Good size room and warm. We never had any trouble in having to wait to use the shared showers/toilets. Unfortunately noise from the room next door is audible. The breakfast buffet is very good. The hotel was very clean and the... More

My husband and I stayed here mainly because it was the most affordable hotel close to the train station. Easy to find, about a 15 minute walk from train station. Our room was large, very clean and had a sink in it. Room was warm and cozy, as you can regulate the temperature yourself. The shared toilets and showers were... More

We spent a very pleasant three nights at Hotel Alpha, chosen on the basis of location, reviews and price; as hoped, it turned out to be a great choice. It was an easy walk to and from Lucerne railway station and the heart of the old city, yet situated on a quite side street. We received good advice on locating... More

This hotel is an absolute winner: it is budget price, but royal in all its services. The room is modern and fully furnished, the bathroom so clean it sparkles, the amenities amazingly generous, even facecloth is provided! The beds are good, the pillows marvellous and the heating perfect. The breakfast buffet is so generous that you definitely want to stay... More

This hotel reminded me of an up-market hostel or boarding house. The rooms a fairly basic but spotlessly clean and up to date. We had a room with en-suite which was very reasonably priced and enjoyed our overnight stay. There are no, in room, tea or coffee making facilities (as with most European hotels) but when we asked the desk... More

I stayed here in Decemebr 2012 for two nights. All rooms and amenities were dry clean. The hotel is located about a 10 minute walk from the main train station and is very easy to find. They also offer a fantastic buffet breakfast. The beds were a little uncomfortable. I would definitely stay there again.
