Hotel Pickwick Luzern

What a wonderful surprise! I had nothing to do with the booking, and when we arrived at the hotel, I thought, "Great, now we're in a prime location and will probably have rooms with a view of the backalleys." But no, the room, which by the way has a fridge (something I always missed in the last hotels I booked), has one of the best views of the Chapel Bridge there is! I also really liked the fact that it has a "normal" shower, where you don't flood the whole bathroom when you shower. Do note: the rooms do not have air conditioning. In summer, it can probably get quite warm in the room. However, fans are available. Now in winter, that didn't matter, and I slept really well on the pleasantly firm mattress. The value for money ratio is excellent! I'll be back! 😊

My son joined us at the last minute on our Switzerland trip so I booked him a single room at the Pickwick as our place only slept 2. Nice small hotel with a restaurant/bar in prime location along the waterfront overlooking the bridge. Only thing which was very concerning, which I am knocking 2 stars off, was that someone entered my son's room at 10:30pm on Sept 9th when he was lying in bed. They quickly left without saying a word when they realized he was in the room. Not sure how/why someone was able to enter his room. My son told me a few days after after we had checked out and was staying in Murren. I asked him if he told the hotel/restaurant staff and he said no. ||Also make sure they have malt vinegar before you order the fish & chips - they ran out and we only found out after our food had arrived. Fish & chips was excellent tho as well as the sauce they serve with it.

This was a good location and good stay! Really close to the bridge + old town, right in the center of Lucerne. Staff was friendly and accommodating, with nice instructions. The view was gorgeous with the Chapel Bridge too! Some things to note: - Since the location is on top of a pub, we did see some dead cockroaches next to the elevator on the first floor. Luckily, didn't see anything in the rooms, but still keep your baggage closed at night just in case! - Can get a little noisy at night, since it is a pub so bring earplugs if you need them - They note this as well, but there are lots of flies and potentially mosquitoes at night that are attracted to the light, so make sure to keep your windows closed, and they don't have AC!

We stayed at this lovely property for 2 nights. It is a stone’s throw from the Lucerne train station and very easy to find, ideally located in the heart of old town Lucerne. The common areas of the hotel do not look like much but don’t let that put you off. The front of the hotel is a pub and the rooms are accessed up the stairs to the back of the pub. Check in was easy and they kept our bags while the room was made ready as we arrived prior to check in time. The room was small with two twin beds one in front of the other. Notwithstanding the size of the room, it had everything we would need for a comfortable stay and it was very clean. It also had a small balcony with a small table and two chairs overlooking the street and that afforded that straight on view of the Chapel Bridge and mountains in the distance. Delightful! The room does not have AC but there is a small standing fan. The fan did not help much. I found the room quite warm especially at night. That apart, we enjoyed wondering around the beautiful town enjoying the beautiful atmosphere and the wide range of restaurants, shops and places of interest right on our hotel doorstep. One morning there was a farmers market along the stretch right outside the hotel. Lovely! I would stay at this hotel again and I recommend it. The hotel staff we met were pleasant enough but what made our stay is the location, the comfort and cleanliness of the room and the beautiful views.

The location was absolutely perfect. The rooms were pretty basic but the price was reasonable. We didn't eat at the pub but we had drinks a couple times. The place is always busy which can be fun.

It's a lively place. If you want peace and quiet, probably not your place to be. It has a lively British/Irish pub that's humming from 6pm till it closes. The room is nice but small and the walls are thin so you will hear the rowdies come in late. Just gotta be ok with that but overall, it's a quirky but really cool place to camp out while you're in Luzern if you're looking for a place with energy.

Pub was great. Staff were great - very friendly and let me check in early. Good beer. Didn't try the food. Great view! Room was very clean and sufficient. Location was great. Really close to the train station. Minus one star for the noise. There is an outside patio that is open until 2330 during the week and midnight on weekends. People will be out there drinking beer and having loud conversations. That is right outside your room if your facing the water. Also the floor creaks and you can hear the people above you walking around. That made me try not to walk around much in my room. Overall would recommend.

Hotel is in strategic location, within short walk from Main Train Station and numerous attractions. Although our room was not exactly spacious, it was well-maintained and adequate for us. Kettle and fridge were available and we enjoyed having a balcony with a lovely view. Food at the cafe downstairs was also delicious. Enter via the restaurant/pub, move towards the right counter where the staff will perform the check-in procedure. May arrange to hv the luggages brought up to the upper floors by the very compact lift if necessary. Excellent and hardworking team. Susi from Housekeeping has done a wonderful job. Room, including the bathroom, was spotless. Pedro made a point to follow-up when we asked about some matters. Ramna has initiatives as he was always ensuring that guests were well-taken care. He’ll acknowledge the guests whenever he walked past them.
