Hotel Baslertor

A very clean hotel with a very nice pool in the heart of old town. Now the downside no AC for those hot summer days but we did have a fan. No refrigerator or microwave in the rooms. Flat screen tele with decent cable service including music. Now the good a very friendy innkeeper willing to help. Very clean and comfortable bedding in a very well keep building.

We stopped in Luzerne for a night to visit some friends and make a long trip from Italy to Basel shorter. This place is not too close to the rail station but a short tram ride will get you to a 2-3 minute walk. The hotel itself is small and nestled near a major shopping area. There are not a lot of amenities (some drinks for sale out of a cooler) and breakfast is voucher at one of there partner hotels very close by. I don't know if all the rooms had a terrace but our room, 204, shared a large terrace with the next room over that overlooked another lower terrace and the pool. We didn't use the pool. It was small and looked well kept. I don't remember anything remarkable or bad about the room and we didn't have trouble sleeping. One bonus was that there was a Kuhn outlet store next to the hotel so I was able to pick up a quality enameled cast iron fondue pot for a reasonable price. The rating is based on the location, amenities, and cost of the room (not a super value but there were not a lot of options available and it was only one night)

Great hotel! Close to transit, if you need to park your car, garage is just around the corner. Room is spacious and super clean. Double bed and 2 additional beds in the wall. Bathroom was large and clean. Pool wasn't open, but looked clean and fun if it was. Check in was easy.

We stayed in the addition called Guest House Rösi and had a suite of 2 rooms, one of which housed the 2 parents and 2 children and the other one which I, as the grandmother, occupied. We were on the 3rd floor and had great views of the neighborhood and a small roof garden. There was a second outside door which we could close and make our 2 rooms into a suite. This was very handy. I enjoyed my privacy, but of course, the other 4 had a more crowded situation. The children took advantage of the pool, and after a long overseas flight, this was a boon. Although the hotel is older, I appreciated the charm and central location. My son was miffed, however, that the first clerk we spoke with did not give him a pass that would have cut our parking lot cost in half. We later found out that it should have been offered.
