One night Luzern

Hi there taking the train from Amsterdam to Lucerne would you recommend staying near the train station since we only have one night? And if so any recommendations about a nice hotel? Thank you there you go

The train station is well located--I believe I walked less than ten minutes to the apartment I rented, passing many hotels in the five minute walk range--Des Alpes looked nice. Everything quite walkable.

Hi Linda,

This Lucerne hotel is not far from the train station since you are only staying for 1 night. Hotel Des Balances is a 10 minute walk to the train terminal.. The hotel porters will even carry luggage for guests to the train station. The Hotel has a nice view and serves an excellent breakfast.

Good restaurants to eat nearby in the old town are: Old Swiss House, Pfistern, and Wilden Mann Hotel and restaurant.

I stayed at Hotel des Alpes prior to the start of the Best of Switzerland tour and found it to be very comfortable and very close to everything. It was a short, easy walk just across the bridge from the train station - check out their website.
