This hotel is very much a budget option, way cheaper than most others in Lucerne so this must temper any remarks. The hotel is in a quiet but reasonably central location, the room was large and clean and particularly the "wet-room" style bathroom looked newly fitted and would not have disgraced a 4-star establishment. However, the room had a very... More

I stayed at Hotel Alpha for two nights with family. I booked a single room with a bathroom but got a larger 3- person room instead. Everything was clean and efficient. The room is extremely basic but reflects the daily rate. The location is very good - only a 5 minute walk to the main part of Lucerne. I was... More

I was travelling with a group of friends and we got there early at 10 in the morning. Really happy that the room was ready so that we could freshen up after our 15 hour flight. Both the rooms and bathroom were really clean. There was also a basin and a mirror in the room so that you do not... More

I love Switzerland because like this hotel, everything is quality and works well! This hotel is so hard to evaluate. You either love it as we did because of the well thought out spacious room, great breakfast and good service or hate it because there are no carpets, no TV and its too basic. This was an overnighter for us... More

I chose Hotel Alpha for a 2-night stay based on Tripadvisor reviews. The location, a 10-minute walk down Pilatusstrasse from the train station, was convenient after a day-long journey on the Golden Pass. The neighborhood was quiet. The three receptionists -Patrick, Sylvia, and Stephan - who served during my stay, were patient and helpful, even to the most demanding guests.... More

This being Lucerne, which being in Switzerland, prices were always going to be on the higher side as compared to the rest of europe, but we were hoping that it would turn out to be better than expected, but that was not to be. The hotel is about a 10 min walk from the train station, so we walked from... More

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
