I stayed for two nights while in Lucerne for business. This hotel is affiliated with Hotel Krone and Des Balances, and does not have its own front desk, restaurant or concierge. You check in at one of the other hotels then walk one or two blocks to the Magic where you slide your room key to enter the hotel.

All of the rooms are "themed" and mine was the "Lotus Room" complete with bamboo furniture. The room was large and well appointed (despite the bamboo) with two windows that looked out onto a pretty platz (see photo).

The location is fantastic... right in the middle of the pedestrian zone. About 10 min walk to the train station, about 2 min walk to the lake.

An earlier reviewer complained about noise, but during my stay it was quiet and comfortable. Perhaps only certain rooms have a noise problem.

I recommend the Magic.
