2/10 Poor

The only positive about Hotel Monopol is the prime location right across from the train station. Other than that, the hotel was very below standard for the price we paid. As Americans, I would compare the overall quality more to a Motel 6. We paid around $1,350 for 2 nights without breakfast, which was absolutely not worth it. The room was extremely basic with old furniture, and the bathroom amenities were minimal !!!! shampoo only, no conditioner. Overall, very disappointing value for the money and not a hotel I would stay at again.

The room is very clean, spacious and has a great view of the Lucerne riverfront. It is very close to the Lucerne’s train stain (Hauptbahnhof) and the hotel has elevator. Breakfast is very good and the staffs are super friendly and helpful. Highly recommend this hotel when you visit Lucerne.
