USA, Oct 2009
Well located, with easy walk from train station. Energetic, bright young staff who were very helpful. Attached excellent pizzaria/restaurant. Room was about average size for this price range in Switzerland. Good value for the money in expensive Switerland. Steps from the wonderful river-front, with copious restaurants and sites. Not air conditioned, as are most hotels in this price range, but we were there in Oct, so that was no problem. Disadvantage, not unique to this hotel, is that the church bells ring all night long in Luzern. Bring ear plugs! Overall, a solid value for the money.

Perfectly clean, helpful staff and ideal location for the centre of the old town. Not the quietest place but noise comes from outside as you're in the middle of town. Room a little small but adequate. Decor very modern and comfortable. Would stay there again. Expensive but so is Switzerland!

Totally I could say only good things: excellent location, very nice and guest friendly staff. The room was relatively small but with large terrace. Breakfast is not as I like (no fresh vegetables), but it's a matter of taste and habits

This hotel was 7-10 minutes (walking)from main train station. Excellent location. In the area where it is located there are no cars allowed. The staff was nice and helpful. Even with their broken english, they were able to give us maps, directions and recommendations. People in Lucerne mostly speak german. The hotel is modern and minimalist, but very cozy. The room was nice and modern with enough space to move around. They have an excellent pizza and pasta restaurant at the hotel. No need to leave the hotel for dinner or lunch - if it is too cold outside! There are also various restaurants nearby. I would definitely return to the Zum Weissen Kreuz hotel!

Malta, Jul 2008
We had a quadruplicate room and it was rather crowded. It was more suited for a triple room!Breakfast was decent especially compared to otehr Swiss hotels we stayed at. Location was excellent bang in the old town and near the river. Street outside was sometimes noisy due to bars/restaurants (not traffic). Overall: good value for our money.
