Hotels in Luzern
 
Im a solo traveller. I'll be in Luzern end of April/beginning May. I'm looking for a hotel. My budget is less than 120CHF.
I'm traveling by train and foot. So location hopefully is near town within walking distance to attractions.
Another thing I need is free wifi service in the room.
Thanks a lot

@ kenlee6 -- For Lucerne, you might consider the Hotel des Alpes -- it suited my needs as a solo traveller, but I have no idea what it's current rates are, and it doesn't get uncontested positive reviews. For other options, check booking.com

kenlee6, try Hotel Alpha. About 10min walk from both the station and the riverside. Also check booking.com.

Sorry guys

I posted then didn't see my thread. I thought that it didn't go through. So I posted again. Apparently it went into Europe forum instead of Swiss forum

kja Mar 7th, 2016 11:14 PM

And the OP has posted yet again :-(

And the OP has posted a third time :-(

Sorry if my notices of multiple posts crossed with your attempts to get your question to the right place -- my intention has been to make sure that anyone who wants to provide information does so in a SINGLE place with awareness of the information that others offer. :-)

BTW, any posts tagged for Switzerland <b>are</b> part of the Europe forum.

Good luck.

Sorry guys.

How do I del my other 2 copies of posts??

kja Mar 7th, 2016 11:36 PM

If you want to do so, pull up the post, click the orange triangle in the upper right corner (it'll lead to a message titled "report abuse", but don't worry -- it's just a way to contact the editor) and say, with explanation, why you want to delete the message.

But don't worry -- you can leave multiple active threads, just make sure you check them all to make sure you get all the advice that Fodorites offer. And be aware that we won't necessarily have the advantage of access to info that appears on only one thread. (So, for example, if you say on ONE thread that you've changed your cost criteria, those responding to your OTHER threads won't necessarily know....) It's messy, but not a disaster. No puppies have died, so really, its OK.

Welcome to Fodor's! :-)

For future reference, anything tagged "Switzerland" is automatically also tagged "Europe".

KJA has put a note on your third thread with a link to this one, so ideally people will come here to respond.

I stayed at the Alpha Hotel several years ago, and it was definitely affordable. This past year, we stayed instead at Le Stelle, a more centrally located inexpensive hotel, but I think that is usually a bit above your budget. At the time I was looking for a hotel, the Alpha cost more than Le Stelle, because I found a pretty big discount for Le Stelle on www.booking.com .

I stayed at the Hotel des Alpes in 1961; it was very nice back then,for what it's worth! :)

Hi grandmere

Does the hotel have wifi services in each room?? Near train station??

NE Mar 9th, 2016 06:55 AM

Hotel des Alpes is a 5 minute walk from the train station and does have wifi . We had a lovely stay there in 2014 . Fabulous location .

nytraveler Mar 9th, 2016 09:03 AM

On booking.com the des Alpes seems to have 1 single room left for your budget. I would look at this and grab quickly since your budget is low - probably only possible since you are going in off season.

Sorry for double - it was doing that weird preview thing.

kenlee6 Mar 10th, 2016 03:21 AM

NE

Is the hotel des alpes noisy since it's so near the station??

nytraveler Mar 10th, 2016 04:41 AM

It's not right next to the train station - it;s in a very lovely area bordering the other side of the river right hear the kappelbrucke.
