Radisson Blu Hotel, Lucerne

On arriving at my room, I was slightly amazed at its location - It overlooked a huge area of train sidings / So, having requested a quiet room, I thought it wouldn't be. It turned out to be not too bad. -In the evenings/ nights, there was occasional rumbling noise, like that of a generator - I don't know if this was a train locomotive or maybe even a tourist boat, testing things - there were several parked on the lake out the front. So the room overlooked, primarily, across the train tracks, and about 40% of it looked at the lake (double aspect/ the corner of the building). I was on floor 5, and above, on floors 6 and 7 are private residences (not the Radisson hotel) - There was occasional minor noise, but nothing too awful. Anyway, this all grew on me, as it wasn't too bad, noise wise ..and the room was huge and well appointed (though the bed was a little firm for my liking). The staff love to say how the building is noise insulated, as there is double glazing, but, as everyone knows, not all noise and rumblings can be kept out. The staff here are very nice and helpful, and not in a phony way (sometimes indicative of hotel chains), but in a genuine way. - Full marks to them. The food was very good. I'd certainly consider returning to this hotel, if I come to Luzern again.
