The Alpha Hotel offers an affordable accommodation in an expensive city. The rooms were super clean and surprisingly spacious. I was traveling with my husband and twin babies. We were easily able to fit a portable crib in the corner, plus all of our bags. The shared bathrooms were very clean and accessible. The reading room offered a spacious area... More

Our check in was friendly and easy, we were given clear instructions about the hotel. Our room was clean and relatively spacious. The... More

Staying in Lucerne can be very expensive. Luckily we found Hotel Alpha through tripadvisor. Let's talk about the hotel first. We opted for the room with a private toilet. It was clean, with comfortable beds. The toilet in the room was small but clean enough. The breakfast variety was good! One of the best we had in our switzerland trip.... More

We stayed at Hotel Alpha based on the price and proximity to the attractions. As we were looking only to rest our heads and shower at the Hotel Alpha, it was perfect. We were very impressed with the cleanliness and helpful staff. Breakfast was adequate, our room was comfortable and spacious, and the price was very low for Lucerne.

The staff xas very friendly & the breakfast buffet was excellent, but this is just a step up from a hostel. The rooms are very clean, but the entire country of Switzerland is immaculant. The rooms are very noisy due to the thin walls, wood floors, and common access ways. Overall, for the price, it is a good value. The... More

We stayed on the top floor and had plenty of room for our luggage, there was a large wardrobe with shelving we could use and a washbasin with mirror and light. Toilets and showers were just down the hall and were extremely clean and modern -... More

We spent 2 nights in Alpha hotel. The hotel was a good 15 mins walk from the main station. You could also catch a bus to the hotel, 2 stops away, especially if you have heavy luggage. Newly renovated, everything looks new and clean. Room was comfortable and spacious, with twin beds, wash basin, closet and table. Shared toilet facility... More
