Dear Guest, thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review and for evaluating your stay with an overall score of 50/100. We truly appreciate your openness, as detailed feedback like yours is essential for us to better understand our guests’ expectations—especially when travelling as a family—and to improve our services at Ibis Budget Luzern City. We are pleased to read that you appreciated our location directly in front of a bus stop, as well as the high level of cleanliness (90/100) and our commitment to sustainability (90/100). Our location is indeed one of our strongest points, offering easy and quick access to Luzern city center, the train station, and major attractions such as the Chapel Bridge, Old Town, and Lake Lucerne by public transport. At the same time, we sincerely regret that several aspects of your stay did not meet your expectations. We are sorry to hear that you found the room amenities too limited, the view disappointing, and the overall room quality unsatisfactory. As an Ibis Budget hotel, our concept is intentionally minimalist and functional, but we fully understand that—especially for families—additional amenities, storage solutions, and comfort details can make a significant difference. We also apologize for the inconvenience caused by the very small bathroom, the lack of hangers in the shower area, and the difficulty accessing the lobby. These points have been noted and shared with our management and technical teams. Your feedback regarding the Wi‑Fi speed (20/100) is particularly important to us and will be reviewed, as reliable internet access is a key expectation for many guests today. We regret that the stay did not feel like good value for money (40/100) for you. While prices in Lucerne and Switzerland are generally high, our goal is always to clearly position ourselves as an affordable hotel in Luzern with transparent expectations. Your comments help us understand where this balance did not feel right from a guest perspective. Thank you as well for your honest evaluation of our team (70/100). Our multicultural and multilingual staff strive to assist every guest with professionalism and warmth, and we will continue to focus on improving support, especially regarding amenities and room facilities, as you rightly suggested. We are grateful for your feedback and truly sorry that your experience fell short of your expectations.

Overall the experience was good but we when we booked we didn’t informed anything about city tax that needs to be paid so at the moment of vacating they mentioned about city tax that needs to be paid where we became hesitant apart from that all goes good. Check before booking in case of any additional charges that is applicable.

Dear guest, Thank you very much for your 80/100 rating and for sharing your experience with us. We’re glad to hear that your stay at the Ibis Budget Luzern City was overall good and that our location worked well for you. 🌟 Well‑located and good overall experience It’s great to know that you found the hotel conveniently located and that most aspects of your stay went smoothly. Many guests appreciate the easy access to the train station, old town and bus connections right in front of the hotel. ⚠️ About the city tax We understand your hesitation at check‑out when the city tax was mentioned. In Lucerne, the city tax is a mandatory municipal fee charged to all hotel guests, and it is separate from the room rate. It also includes the Lucerne Visitor Card, which offers free public transport and discounts in the city. However, you are absolutely right: This information should be clearly communicated at the time of booking. We will review how this is displayed on booking platforms to ensure guests are better informed in advance. 🌟 Everything else went well We’re happy that aside from this misunderstanding, your stay was positive and comfortable. Thank you again for your feedback. It helps us improve transparency and ensure a smoother experience for future guests. We would be pleased to welcome you again on your next visit to Lucerne. Best regards, ibis budget Luzern City Marco Antonio

Hotel is new, basic and modern. The rooms are clean and compact but have all the necessary amenities. Might be tight if you're overpackers, but our 2 carryons fit under the shelf/counter under the TV. The kids liked the bunkbed and the lighting options were a nice touch. Hotel wasn't noisy while we were there. Shower, toilet and sink are all separate so can be used at the same time, though would be awkward if not family. Only a 12 minute walk to central Luzern or train station, excellent price per meter tradeoff. Small snafu at check in was quickly and efficiently corrected. Overall not a hotel I'm dying to go back to, but if I'm ever in Luzern again I wouldn't hesitate to book again.

Dear guest, Thank you very much for your 80/100 rating and for sharing such a detailed, balanced review.

Many guests appreciate this price‑per‑meter tradeoff, as you perfectly described it. e) Responsive staff: We’re glad the small check‑in issue was quickly and efficiently resolved. A smooth recovery makes a big difference. ⚠️ Points that were less ideal Room size: Our rooms are intentionally compact, but we understand that this may feel tight for guests with more luggage or those used to larger spaces. Not a “destination hotel,” but reliable: Your comment — “not a hotel I’m dying to go back to, but I wouldn’t hesitate to book again” — is honest and appreciated.

Approached reception on my internet issue. Was asked to wait bcos he was busy in the midst of some admin work. There’s no bum gun to wash backside. Toilets are separated. Only couple can stay. Asked for extra pillows, he went to dig out one asked fr one more bcos there a 2 ppl he replied unfortunately don’t hv. Swiss ppl are very cold n not friendly generally compared to other countries. Maybe that’s how it is I don’t know. Fellow tourist European we’re much more helpful in fact. We spent a lot of money to visit your country take note.

Dear guest, Thank you for sharing your experience, and I’m truly sorry that your stay at the Hotel Ibis Budget Luzern City left you with such a negative impression. Your feedback is important, and every point you raised deserves a clear and respectful response. I was at the reception during your stay so I think I can give a proper answer to your points. a) Situations that caused frustration You mentioned several issues that understandably affected your comfort: - Wi‑Fi problems and the feeling of not being assisted immediately at reception: Regarding this point we have to say that we where having only Wi-fi problems with some clients coming from Asia-Pacific regions due to their Phone system and the use of apps like VPNs or DNS modifying connection. None of the other guest had any problem with the Wi-Fi during the last couple of weeks. This has been already explained at the reception and is not a situation that the hotel can solve as the problem comes internally from your device. Even we re-started the Wi-fi router in front of you. Afterwards the Internet continued to run really fine. - Even during administrative tasks, our team should acknowledge the guest’s urgency and offer support as soon as possible, but you have to understand that the assistance can not be provided instantly when there's only one person at the reception and/or there are more guest waiting. For example, if the only/alone receptionist is attending the phone or integrating another guest's booking in the computer, you'll have to wait the line. - Separated toilet and shower, which is part of the Ibis Budget room concept: In any case, the room size and layout are showed before you make the booking. If your booking platform / agency didn't showed you the characteristics of the hotel, please feel free to contact them and request a change. All the main portals like Booking.com / Expedia.com / Agoda.com and other diverse platforms show the room space and distribution. - Limited availability of extra pillows: Extra amenities are provided under availability. If at any given moment the reception doesn't have more forks, knifes, duvets, hot-water form the boiler, pillows and/or other type of non-included free extra materials, we're not in the obligation of provide them. - Your perception of coldness from staff and locals: Our hotel is well known for the customer service, being the highest metric actually around all the reviews we receive, but in any case we'll strive to improve. b) What we can and we'll improve: - Ensuring faster, more attentive support at reception. - Reviewing inventory of extra items like pillows to avoid disappointing guests. Many guests appreciate our central location, the public transport pass included, the 24/7 reception, and the cleanliness and comfort of the beds. Regarding the other points we'll strive for greatness the next times. Best regards, Ibis Budget Luzern City Marco Antonio
