Bad experience
Worst place ever ! Our flight was delayed we reached 11 pm in night it was raining the front door towards reception was locked. We were standing outside the property with my family of three with 13 year old kid there was a door bell the lady did not let us in. I have to call Hotels.com and agent Was on phone with me for one and half our to convince her that booking is correct and finally she was satisfied . She tried to let us (buzz in) apparently they don’t have full time staff in and door security didn't work and we have to wait for another 1 hour for someone to come and help. Finally someone came and helped. He was nice
Verdict.
First trip to Swiss Luzerne paid lot of money for below average room overall super bad experience

Fabulous break at a fabulous hotel
Stayed four nights at the Hofgarten. Lovely hotel, really well located. Everyone we met there was friendly and helpful and knowledgeable about the area. Breakfast buffet was good, made even better by the freshly made coffee. Lucerne is a great place for a holiday and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this hotel
