Great location
Absolutely great location
Only downfall is that you have to checkin and out 120 metres away at the Krone hotel.no phone to call reception you have to communicate through WhatsApp.
Room got very hot but you can’t even control temperature, as it’s regulated. Also no English subtitles on tv , that’s regulated too . Otherwise great location .Every room has a theme which is a great idea. Staff were friendly

Great hotel
That was one of the best hotel accommodation we ever had before. They upgraded up to honeymoon room and it had hands down the best view over the Lucern! The rooms were large and clean. We even ended up to buy breakfast there because it was decent for the money they charge.

The property was clean and relatively quiet. There were a number of restaurant options in the area and it was within easy walking distance to many of the sites that are clearly worth seeing. The breakfast was outstanding.

Good hotel with small space but enough to rest. It’s ideal only for sleep. Good WiFi, however, breakfast is not included. Close to train and bus stations.

Altstadt Magic Hotel does it right!
We stayed in the Honeymoon Suite. It was spacious and the view is breathtaking! Would stay there again in a heartbeat! In the heart of Old Town over looking the water front! With a balcony!

The location was amazing, and the staff was great. The TV didn’t work because of patchy Wi-Fi. It was hard to figure out where to park, but the staff was great once we checked in. The room was spacious

All in all it’s an interesting place to stay with each room having a theme. But the parking is very hard to navigate, hotel offers valet but to find your way to the valet is hard. The check in desk is at a nearby hotel in a different building. Staff is friendly and helpful.
