"The property has self check in, which was complicated because the email with the passcode was sent to an Expedia email making it not easy to find. The room was very cramped but clean. If you have any accessibility issues this place would be difficult because of the number of stairs."

"Beautiful historic building with the most amazing location and view in Lucerne- right in the heart of old town! We couldn't get enough of the view of Jesuitkirche across the river and the chapel bridge from our private balcony. This was absolutely worth the money and we had a wonderful stay!"
