The lake view rooms are very nice and the only criticism is the size of the bathroom. If you do not like soft pillows they do not have an alternative. Breakfast is very good, the terrace in good weather offers a very nice place to have your meals. Boats depart from the pier at the side of the hotel, excellent... More

This classic hotel is positioned right on the bank of lake Lucerne and offers magnificent views over the lake and surrounding mountains. There is a small private beach area with sunbeds providing access to the lake and the boat peer and the outdoor heated pool. Standard double rooms are clean and decently proportioned, featuring comfortable beds, simple but convenient modern... More

While the view from the lake side of the hotel is truly stunning, the rest of the hotel is very utilitarian. Dim lamps that make it hard to read and work, teeny tiny rooms with so much bamboo furniture that you can hardly turn around, plastic patio chairs that I would be embarassed to put in my backyard, tiny shampoo/soap......

The lake view room offered exquisite views even on a dull rainy day. Room 406 is basic but adequate for its task with a good bathroom and a balcony looking over the lake & mountains. With the hotel so close to the lake we had some unwelcomed mosquitos in the room. The staff are friendly and helpful. The hotel is... More

We checked into the Kastanienbaum for a one night stay in late October. The receptionist was friendly and helpful, and spoke perfect English as well as German. Our room was a bit shabby and faded, but very clean, and the view was absolutely exquisite. Definitely worth paying for a lake view room--I don't think I would stay here otherwise. The... More

The Seehotel Kastanienbaum is very clean and most of the staff are very friendly and helpful. Breakfast is buffet style with plenty of choice. The food in the restaurant was excellent apart from their version of Veal Cordon Bleu which had the runniest cheese I've ever seen...a bit offputting. Views from rooms on the seaside and from the terrace are... More

The hotel is situated 15 meters from Vierwaldstettersee, and the view is awesome. The rooms were nice and clean, and quite large, with a balcony. We took a ferry from the hotelpier in to Lucerne - a nice 15 minutes boatride. We had dinner at the hotel on the second night - this was a huge disappoinment. Bad service and... More

Had a wonderful stay. The room was very clean and very comfortable. Gourmet dinner was a treat. Complimentary breakfast was excellent. Hotel staff very friendly. Only a 10 minute drive to the city of Luzern. Looking forward to going back. If going in October be aware of the Luzern Marathon schedule. Had to wait on the thousands of runners to... More

This hotel is in a perfect position on the side of the lake with stunning views of the surrounding mountains and scenery. Make sure you book a room with a view of the lake, with small balcony. The only slightly bad thing I can think of to say is that the rooms are fairly small for the star rating of... More
