Rooms
Galaxy Apartments Lucerne offers a range of accommodations noted for their spaciousness and cleanliness. Many of the apartments are fully equipped with all the necessary amenities, making them suitable for both short and longer stays. Guests frequently highlight the ample space and comfort provided with various mentions of large bedrooms, living areas and well-furnished kitchens. These features make it particularly convenient for families or groups traveling together.
The location is another positive aspect with many reviews noting its central position, proximity to grocery stores and good local amenities. Visitors also appreciated the functionality of the facilities, including well-equipped kitchens, comfortable beds and clean, modern interiors.
However, some guests faced issues with room sizes not matching expectations from pictures, noise levels and occasional concerns about cleanliness in less prominent areas of the apartment. Certain apartments seemed too small for larger groups, featuring only one bathroom, which could be inconvenient. Despite these minor drawbacks, the general consensus leans towards a comfortable and spacious stay with good value for money. The apartments are particularly well-suited for those who don't have overly high expectations and need a practical base for exploring Lucerne.
Beds
Guests at Galaxy Apartments Lucerne have shared a mixture of experiences regarding the beds and bedding. Positive feedback highlights the comfort of many of the beds with several reviews mentioning that the beds were very comfortable or fine and that the pillows were also good. Some guests appreciated the warm blankets and clean sheets, noting comfortable sofas and beds.
However, numerous reviews pointed out concerns, such as the need for mattress renewal, beds being too small or narrow and cases of uncomfortable, creaky or unstable beds. Issues were raised about beds not being appropriately sized for two adults with some mentioning small or unmade sofa beds that were not suitable for adults. There were frequent complaints about the cleanliness of the beds and bedding with reports of dirty pillows and sheets, as well as some bedding that smelled of smoke. Additionally, the thin, often uncomfortable mattresses were a common grievance.
While some guests found the bedding to be good or satisfactory, there is a clear call for improvement in both the quality and maintenance of the beds to enhance overall guest comfort.

The rooms were described as spacious, modern and functional, suitable for holidays or city trips. The polite and responsive staff was appreciated, especially when addressing complaints about cleanliness.
However, there were several recurring issues. Some guests reported finding dust in less visible areas, dirty balconies and a musty smell due to inadequate cleaning. Specific complaints included dirty dishes, mold in the bathroom, stains on the sofas and bed linens and unaddressed maintenance issues like flickering bulbs and clogged showers. Several guests noted that the common areas were neglected with dirty staircases and cigarette butts on the balcony.
In summary, while Galaxy Apartments Lucerne generally offers clean, comfortable and well-located accommodations, consistency in cleanliness and maintenance needs attention to meet the high standards expected by guests.

Several patrons highlighted serious issues with the connectivity, describing the WiFi as very poor, weak and extremely slow, which hampered activities like streaming Netflix, YouTube and even working from the room. Interrupted service and poor internet performance were recurring themes with some guests noting that their Apple TV or other internet-connected devices did not function properly due to these problems. Despite these concerns, a minority mentioned that the WiFi worked without problems and that the staff was proactive in troubleshooting any issues that arose. However, for those who rely heavily on a strong internet connection, the overall sentiment suggests significant room for improvement in this area.
Dog Friendly
Galaxy Apartments Lucerne offers a mixed experience for guests traveling with dogs. Positively, dogs are welcomed and some are even treated to special dog snacks upon arrival. The quiet street offers a tranquil environment, ideal for evening relaxation with windows open, complemented by nets on windows to prevent mosquitoes.
However, several aspects might disappoint dog owners. An additional fee of 30 CHF is charged per dog, which is higher compared to other places. There are specific instances of inadequate preparation for dogs, such as the absence of beds or bowls for pets. Resulting frustrations also include issues like cold apartments, nonfunctional lamps and missing curtains, which can add to the discomfort. Moreover, the facilities may not be entirely dog-friendly, evidenced by reports of dogs urinating in the elevator.
Overall, while the hospitality towards dogs is appreciated, the stay could be improved by addressing the mentioned shortcomings and ensuring better accommodations for four-legged guests.
