Awesome location, just around the corner from lucern central station. Two seconds to everything you need. The room was really spacious and clean, and the staff were fantastic. They had no wi-fi in the rooms only in the lobby seating area, which was still okay. Recommend staying here if your in Lucern.

This hotel is located right near the train station and within a short walking distance from the Lake and Chapel Bridge. However, it is also located right next to a couple of night clubs, and the night we stayed there it was rather warm, so we wanted to keep the windows open, but the noise from the street was so...

Alpina and its sister hotel, Monopol are just steps away from the Lucerne train station. Room was huge and both room and bathroom were clean and sheets smelled fresh. Reception staff are helpful and competent. My only gripe is that there is no wifi in the room. The free wifi provided is available only at the Monopol Lobby where we... More

Have to check in at the sister hotel, Monopol and they really stick to the check-in timings - 2pm. It was our first stay in Switzerland (& Europe) and we were shocked at the lift. Firstly it was so small, my husband took our luggages (28" & 29") to go up first. After awhile, i saw him coming down the... More

Several of my study mates complaint about the noise - it seems that it is as noisy with or without windows closed as the... More

I stayed there for 2 Nights, no doubt location is very good, but room size is very small, moreover very poor service as there ia no reception in this hotel..everything is managed by hotel Monopole..Best part is Mcdonald's, Burger king and starbucks are walking distance to this hotel..so for 2 nights it's okay to stay here

Hotel Alpina was an excellent stop in our tour. We travelled with kids for about 4-5 days in end of Jan 2012. Alpina is excellent in its Location and very well appointed rooms. only small draw backs were the small elevator and non availability of wifi in rooms. hence get wifi by getting swisscom cards.

The hotel is just across the train station, great location with barely a 5 minutes walk. Check-in in Hotel Metropol is fast and the front desk ladies were very friendly and welcoming. We had Room 59 at Hotel Alpina, newly renovated with a beautiful view from our balcony. It is also a very spacious, quiet and clean room, great for... More

The Hotel Alpina in Luzern is less than a five minute walk to the train station and is part of the Hotel Metropol complex. The location is great, the breakfast is outstanding and Starbucks in located within the complex. This is a very busy area so don't think there is nothing but peace and quiet. There are dozens of restaurants... More
