Beautiful 2.5 Room Apartment in Lucerne (Luzern)36

Beautiful 2.5 Room Apartment in Lucerne (Luzern)36 Overview

First Impressions

When I first walked up to Beautiful 2.5 Room Apartment in Lucerne (Luzern)36 on Maihofstrasse, I’ll be honest — the name doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue, but the location immediately caught my attention. This three-star property sits in what locals consider one of the better residential areas of Luzern, and you can tell right away that you’re staying somewhere that feels more like a neighborhood than a tourist zone. The building itself has that solid Swiss apartment block feel — nothing flashy, but well-maintained and reassuringly sturdy.

The Space Itself

The apartment layout is actually quite clever for what they call a “2.5 room” setup. You’ve got a proper bedroom, a living area that doubles as a second sleeping space, and then that half-room which works perfectly as either an office nook or extra storage — honestly, it’s more functional than it sounds on paper. The kitchen area surprised me with how well-equipped it was; I mean, you can actually cook a proper meal here rather than just heating up leftovers. The whole space feels lived-in rather than hotel-sterile, which I found refreshing after staying in so many cookie-cutter places.

Location Advantages

Here’s where this place really shines — and the guest ratings back this up with that 8.3 location score. Maihofstrasse puts you about a 15-minute walk from the old town, but you’re far enough out that you’re not dealing with the constant stream of tour groups. There’s a Coop supermarket just a few blocks away, which becomes incredibly handy when you’ve got cooking facilities. The train station is easily walkable, and honestly, the whole area just feels more authentic than staying right in the tourist center.

What Works Well

The fact that couples rate this location so highly (9.0 for two-person trips) makes total sense once you’ve been here. It’s got that residential quiet in the evenings, but you’re still connected to everything you want to see in Luzern. Parking in this area isn’t the nightmare it can be closer to the lake, though I’d still recommend checking the street signs carefully. The room setup works particularly well for longer stays — you know, when you actually want to spread out a bit and not live out of a suitcase for a week.

Why Guests Love It

What really sets this place apart is that balance between being a proper apartment and having the convenience of hotel-style booking. You get the space to actually relax (something that’s harder to find in traditional hotel rooms in Luzern), plus you’re in a neighborhood where you can grab groceries, find a decent local restaurant, and feel like you’re living somewhere rather than just passing through. The 7.3 overall rating might seem modest, but for this type of accommodation in this location, it actually represents solid value — especially when you factor in how much you’d pay for comparable space in the city center.

Lucerne’s apartments welcome families with play terraces, lakefront picnic lawns, and easy boat rides to traffic-free villages.
