Absolutely stunning property and really luxurious rooms. The lakeside seating area was perfect to soak in the mountains and lake views. I'm only giving four stars because the listing we booked through indicated there was a free shuttle service from the train station and there was not. Something else to keep in mind, this location is 7 miles from the train station and Ubers are expensive - about 60 USD each way (if that's what you choose to use rather than public transportation).

Great position on the Lake with easy access into Luzern, CHF4 each way. The rooms are spacious and well equipped with standalone Aircon which proved useful during our visit. Be aware most room do not have an unrestricted view of the lake due to a property in front of the hotel. Breakfast is taken across the road at the old hotel, but is good. The restaurant is in the same location across the road and we had a reasonable meal there. There is also a good Brazilian restaurant nearby. Be aware parking whilst easy costs CHF10 per night. Would we go again. Probably yes

Perfect stay!!

From walking into the hotel and being greeted by the nice young man, to the library with coffee, to the medieval theme and updated bathrooms, we were delighted with this hotel. Our room was so spacious with an AC unit and we enjoyed the sister restaurant across the street. Lovely stay!!

The Schloss-Hotel is located in a small, beautiful and quiet town 10 minutes by car from Lucerne. The hotel is on the lake shore and offers a beautiful view of the surrounding mountains. The hotel has a large private parking lot. The hotel is designed and built in a medieval style and we felt like we were in a 15th century manor. There are medieval weapons mounted on the walls of the corridors, which is a wonderful decoration - as if we were in an armory. The hotel is very nice. The room was clean, spacious and had medieval furniture. The bathroom was clean and had a sufficient number of towels. The hotel has a space (on the floor above the reception) where we could make coffee, tea, sit and even borrow a book. Breakfast is served in a restaurant located across the street. The breakfast is buffet style, but the selection was smaller than I expected. The breakfast was tasty and the cappuccino was great. The staff is nice, pleasant and helpful. We enjoyed our stay at the hotel very much. If we need accommodation in the area again in the future, this hotel will be our first choice.
