Friendly, helpful staff. Comfortable rooms, but decor and style are dated. Reminds me of old Hilton rooms—just cleaner and staffed with friendlier people

Tip top service
From the gentleman opening the doors, to the front desk staff to housekeeping- the Lucerne staff are warm, welcoming and professional. Incredibly comfortable bags and attentive service keeps me coming back and recommending them to anyone visiting the city.

Lovely old style hotel
Loved the old world style and furnishings of this hotel. Our room was large with a very comfortable bed. Shower was huge. Air conditioning unit in the room was noisier than we were used to. We had a great view from our room. We were a stones throw from the tube station. Lots of great places to eat within a short walking distance. We enjoyed our stay. The staff were very friendly.

Needs update.
The hotel needs current chargers for tech, a microwave and a small fridge for the price. Even Best Western has this.
And the elevators are slow and need updating for the price.
