Travelers should anticipate limited space for storing luggage and personal belongings and the layout might feel a bit tight, especially in the triple and family rooms. Additionally, there are some privacy concerns with the transparent or minimally separated shower and bathroom areas. Soundproofing is decent, but some noise from nearby trains and street traffic might be noticed.
Overall, while 'ibis budget Hotel Luzern City' serves as a practical option for budget-conscious travelers, it's best suited for short stays due to the compact nature of its rooms. The consistent cleanliness and adequate facilities provide a value-for-money experience, but those requiring more spacious accommodations might need to explore other options.
Beds
However, not all reviews were as glowing.

Additionally, there were occurrences where WiFi didn’t work after the first day or had slow speeds. Despite these few drawbacks, the overall sentiment towards the WiFi leans towards satisfaction with the free access being a significant perk for many travelers.
Parking
However, many guests have noted the high costs associated with parking with several describing the fees as expensive and expressing dissatisfaction over the additional charges. The limited number of parking spots has also been a recurring concern, as the parking lots tend to fill up quickly and guests sometimes have to resort to street parking or seek alternatives elsewhere. Despite this, the availability of free bus tickets and the proximity to public transportation options have been seen as valuable perks by those who stay at the hotel.
Family
However, it’s noted that while the rooms are generally sufficient in size for families, the actual space may feel a bit tight for three people and moving around can be challenging. Some rooms feature unique designs such as a bed for a child on an upper level, which adds a fun element for younger guests but may not be practical for everyone. Privacy could be an issue due to the lack of separation between the shower and bedroom areas.
The hotel also provides thoughtful amenities such as a free transportation card upon arrival and complimentary city Wi-Fi, which add value to the stay. Although there are no specific baby facilities or designated kids areas, the overall accommodation appears to meet the expectations of most families at a reasonable price.
