Hotel Royal A. G. Luzern

I’ll start off by saying that during our European trip, we stayed in 7 different hotels. This hotel was one of the top 2 of our favorites. It’s very charming once you enter. I’ll agree with other reviews (on TripAdvisor), that it does feel more like a bed & breakfast and not so much a «fancy hotel».
We stayed in room #46 and was actually shocked to see that the room key was an actual «key». We get so used to those cards that you just slide in to unlock the door. Anyway, we climbed up the stairs and it does feel like you are at somebody’s house. There is a lift/​elevator, but it’s quite small. The hallways are dim, but once you enter the room, it was much larger than I was expecting. You actually enter into a hallway with closet space on the left with the bathroom to the right and then through another door leading into the bedroom. I guess that was nice to block out any noise coming from the main hallway (if other guests are coming in late or making a lot of noise). The rooms don’t have much décor and are very plain with white walls, and white sheets. Who needs any décor when you have such a spectacular view though!
We had a small balcony overlooking the lake and mountains. It felt so unreal and so beautiful. You seriously could not get sick of that view! Absolutely breathtaking!
The one thing I will point out is the shower is so small! I honestly don’t think a large set person would be able to shower in there. Also, if you drop the soap… that’s it! haha.
So WiFi is not free. We paid 20 Swiss francs for 1 hour of WiFi. They give you a code to put in. Honestly, I thought that was a pretty good deal. We were so exhausted from the day’s events that one hour of internet was pretty much all we needed before we knocked out. It’s just long enough to check your email, Facebook and post a few photos on Instagram.
Breakfast is included and it was decent. Croissant, bread, eggs, yogurt, juice, cold cut meats. The staff here was pleasant and they were welcoming to us.
The hotel is not far from town. My husband and I took a walk and strolled around the shops and restaurants and also to the bridge. A lot of the shops there are not open late and we even stumbled into a McDonald’s where they had burgers on bagels and McFlurry with Toblerone and Ovaltine. Haha. awesome. The hotel also gives you a packet with coupons and you can take one of the coupons into town and get a free Rolex spoon!
If we were to come back, we would definitely consider staying here again.

Schönes, altes Gebäude im Stil der großen Schweizer Grand-​Hotel, Jugendstil von 1910, guut renoviert mit beeindruckender Lobby. In der zweiten Reihe am Hang gelegen mit Blick auf See und Bürgenstock, Pilatus und Altstadt sowie KKL-​Luzern. Gediegenes Ambiente, Zimmer sind durchschnittlich groß und modern gehalten, also da fehlt es dann an Nichts, mit schönem Bad, großem Bett, Balkon, mit Blick, (SFR 110,-), Frühstück Standard in hellem, großem Saal mit Tageslicht, perfektes Spiegelei! Freier Internetzugang, was ich besonders schätze. Busverbindung gut, schnell zum Bahnhof, drei Minuten Fußweg, gibt aber auch Parkplätze. Sehr freundliches Personal. Habe mich sehr wohlgefühlt.
