The hotel is in Lucern, Switzerland. Great location, about 7-10 minutes walk from the Lucern train station. Opposite to the famous Chapel bridge and lake. The hotel has its own pub at first floor. Check-in is at the pub. The rooms we stayed are good, clean and good view of the Chapel bridge from our balconies. Hotel staff are friendly... More

We booked this hotel because it was reasonably priced and centrally located. However, travelers should note that the ground floor has a pub, which means that you can hear the patrons and loud music well into the night. Our tiny bedroom was on the first floor: I would strongly discourage anyone from accepting one of the rooms on that floor.... More

The good thing about this hotel is the location. Nearby from the train station, accross the river. And for the view, it is perfect as you can see the kapellbrucke right from your window or sit at the balcony of your room. The strange thing is the check in process. The check in counter is at the pub downstair. And... More

This hotel has an incredible location, and you can see the Kapellbrücke right outside your window. I'm afraid the pros of this hotel end there. The staff was somewhat fussy, and made it quite awkward for us to check into the hotel. It was also very expensive, and I would have liked a bit more for the price we paid.... More

We were at the hotel Mr.Pickwick for 2 nights in late Feb/early march and we were very happy to have made this choice over some of the other less expensive hotels. Even though the room size is not proportionate to the amount you shell out.. it makes up for it through excellent cleanliness and cozy rooms! We stayed only for... More

Stayed for 2 nights. I loved the view of the room. Especially the sunrise view from the room is splendid. Easy to find and near the train station. We stayed at 3rd level, able to use the wifi without any problem throughout the 2 nights. And also convenient to settle the dinner if do not want to walk to far.... More

Absolutely loved this hotel. We arrived early and we're able to leave our bags at the bar/checkin desk which was very convenient. We requested a top floor room, which has a smaller balcony but is farther away from the noise of the public below. The room is crisp, clean and modern and the view of the River and Chapel Bridge...

Stayed here for 5 nights so it was a bit pricey but most hotels in Lucerne are expensive. Pickwick is located close to the station, just walk across the bridge and you'll find it on the other side of the river. I arrived there at around 12:30pm and checked in at the bar. The reception area (at the back) isn't... More

Interesting hotel on top of a very popular pub. You check in at the bar which is typically very crowded. The rooms are basic, but you can sleep multi's if need be (we were in a group of 3 and just shared a room - which could have slept 4). As others have mentioned to get the free wifi you... More
