Hotel Schlüssel

No frills hotel (self check in & out), but it provided just what we neededed— a clean, quiet, spacious room with nice view of church and charming platz in front.

The check in process was fine once we got in the main building, but we had trouble getting in. There were so many emails I may of missed the entry code. Not a fan of auto entry.

We enjoyed our stay. The floor by the shower is wet due to the shower not having a door.

We never came in contact with a hotel staff member, so there was no one to ask questions if needed. The location was fantastic, but very noisy both late into the evening and early morning. The room was clean and comfortable, other than the noise keeping you up late and waking you up early.

Really enjoyed the location of the Hotel Schlüssel in the old town area of Luzern. Everything is within a 5 to 10 minute walk, and it is just enough off the beaten path to be away from the noisy crowds in other parts of town. There is also a pay laundromat just a street over which was very convenient and we made use of during our stay. There is no onsite staff, giving it more of the feel of a personal rental. This was never really an issue for us other than requesting two room keys at check in and only being able to make one. As an aside, i made another later the first day which worked, but then the original no longer functioned. We really appreciated the fan in the room for our use, which allowed us to keep it comfortable during our 4 day stay even with moderate heat during the day. During the night we also kept the window open with the fan on to bring in cool air but the proximity to the church next door and the bells which peal every 15 minutes all night long made this not a good of an idea. Having the window closed really made this a non issue for sleeping and there is definitely a pleasant historical vibe to their consistency. Loved staying in the city for it's charm and location, and the Hotel Schlüssel just added to the overall enjoyment of our visit.

Other than the fact that this hotel does not have AC, due to historical rules because of the age of the building, this hotel was fantastic and can only be very highly recommended.

An excellent property with central location to trains and busses but also in the heart of old town. Rooms are generously spatious and a sweet addition from the hosts is a free mini bar for coffee and light refreshment (beer, coke, water). Highly recommend!

We absolutely loved our stay at Hotel Schlüssel! The staff was incredible and made us feel like family. We appreciated that we were just enough off the beaten path in a beautiful courtyard with a church dating back to 1270! It was quintessential and relaxing. The train station was less than a 10-minute walk, making it perfect for exploring Suisse. They also had an amazing restaurant, and we ended up eating there all three nights. I can't recommend this hotel enough! Thank you, Hotel Schlüssel, for making our experience exceptional!

Everything was great. Only slight issue was it was hard to air out the room after showers. The provided table fan was not enough to quickly refresh the air.

It was amazing. Only thing I need an air conditioner or cooler. It was hot but I couldn’t open the window because smoking didn’t stop from the bar on the 1st floor. I couldn’t breathe if I open the window. I should be patient hot or smoke. It was so hard.

Great stay! Comfortable bed and very spacious

The property was central to everything

It was a fantastic location, small rooms, but matched our needs

Great location and wonderful breakfast! A good value for the money.

Very close to the river. Beautiful area. A little bit concerned about their check-in system and how they cut the key using simply a confirmation number only (anyone can guess someone else's based on your own) - the hotel may want to re-think that system.

Great location. Good size room for family of 4. They provide free water bottles and soft drinks, which is great. Room did not have air conditioner and did not have good ventilation. Romm has only one window which skis did not open completely, opened only 25% due to safety I guess . They did provide 2 table fans. But that was not enough on hot summer days of our stay . It was extremely uncomfortable.

The good; Historic building. Next to a the beautiful Franciscan church. The not so good: as a hotel, the facilities match the age of the building. There is no air conditioning it was a hot night, and we had to keep the windows open. The church bells Rand all night, at each quarter hour, and tolled out the hour. We were leaving the room at 11:10 am. The housekeeper, with her best Frau Blucher impression, reprimanded us for not leaving the room at 11 am.

Selina was a star receptionist and made everything very easy and accommodating. Good location for walking and to the train station.

Great stay for a day trip! Self-Check in was quick and easy to navigate.

Expensive price for the room, bed, no TV, no AC

Clean, comfortable, quiet, and big towels! Good location close to the water and many restaurants. Staff could not have been more welcoming! Everybody was wonderful.

The beds are very nice, the location is great, room is clean but there is no AC and the building in general is very warm, not recommended for a summer stay

We stayed here for two nights. Our experience was more like renting an apartment from a private person that a room in a hotel. The reception desk was not available at check in, and few times I needed something for my room maybe after 4 pm. Overall room was clean but everyone who rent a room should be aware of the church bells that go off every 15 minutes, even during the nights.

overall, I don't like it and will not recommend it. it is convenient, however, the room is very small, without air conditioning. it was very warm. by opening the widow overnight, I got street noise as well as a large number of mosquito bites.

The room is nice and the staffs are awesome!

Very nice hotel within walking of many attractions.

Excellent location just off the lake near pedestrian bridge allowing for easy access to dining and amazing views of the city. Close to the train station. Adorable balcony to overlook the square, but the fountain was drained so was not able to enjoy that. There is a church right across from the hotel, which means frequent bell ringing, although we found them not to be too loud. We checked in on a Sunday, so there was no reception open, which was unusual and potentially inconvenient although we had no problems.

Lovely staff :) thank you for your service;)

Hotel was good, not great. Rooms are very small and there are steps needed even with the elevator. There is no storage area for clothes, so living out of a suitcase was necessary but not wanted. That meant using precious floor space for open suitcases. Good location near the old city. Didn't try breakfast.

It was very clean and in a great location! Staff was very nice. It was a bit stuffy in the room, which only had a small fan on a dresser. Also, our window only opened partially due to a plexiglass barrier.

Well situated. Close to everything.

Good location. Try to get a room near the front of the hotel as back rooms are very noisy due to bar on the street in the back.
