“Hotel Schluessel's location in Lucerne is a definite plus, and while changes in management can bring uncertainty, the nearby bar seems to offer a reliably good experience. The rooms present some quirks, like the washbowl placement, and summer heat could be a factor without air conditioning, but it is what it is.”
