Hotel Falken - Luzern, Luzern

Advantages: Central location
Disadvantages: No air-conditioner in room

...I stayed here with my mom for 1 night in Luzern (July 2006) and we were both happy with the room. Before spending a night in Luzern, we have stayed in Geneva, Montreux and Interlaken (4 different hotels throughout our stay in Switzerland). We paid the least for our room in Luzern and yet it's better than the most expensive one we paid for. Everything in Switzerland is expensive and therefore we wanted to minimise hotel expenses. Surprisingly, a double-room ensuite in Hotel Pickwick is only CHF 125 ! (Hotel Des Alpes is next door and it's almost double this rate). After I booked a double room with Hotel Pickwick, I searched for reviews online and someone mentioned that no towel is provided + services not great. - Fyi, I paid CHF 140 for a pension in Montreux and CHF 135 for a double room ensuite with air conditioning in old town Geneva...

Disadvantages: unsafe location, hot inside

...Lucerna Music park is right in the centre of Prague, near Wenceslavs square. There are concerts and parties everyday. I love to go to the 80.party, which is regularly every saturday, from 8.00 p.m. until 3.00 a.m. A really perfect place to relax and have fun. The music is great (if you like 80.music) and every song has a videoclip, shown on a big screen. The atmosphere is increadible, everybody is happy, dancing, you dont find fights or unhappy people. The price is very reasonable: 80.- Kc for entrance (1.4 pounds) and 25,-Kc for beer (50pence) So if you ever go to Prague, you should visit this place. The only disadvanteg is, that Wenceslav square at 3.00 in the morning is not very save, so you should definitly leave (either taxi or tram) right after you get out. Dont hang out on Wenceslav square in the middle of the night!! I just... Read review

Advantages: Friendly, buoyant atmosphere. Cheap admission and drinks. 'The Final Countdown' - Trust me!
Disadvantages: If you detest the 80's, you might be a little put off. Not a place for showing off, so if you're a fashion victim, go to Mecca instead.

...Why is Lucerna so popular? There are many clubs in Prague now, ranging from the veteran Radost Fx and Roxy, through to palaces of posing such as Mecca, right down to the meat markets of La Fabrique and Karlovy Lazne. Usually a good time can be had at any one of them - but then there's Lucerna on a Saturday night. It doesn't sound like an obvious recipe for success. Take an old music hall, fill it with a bunch of unhip but laid back Czechs, and plays 80's and 90's music at them all night. But as a reviewer in the now defunct 'Prague Pill' once pointed out - going to Lucerna is a little like being Bill Murray in 'Groundhog Day', the more you go, the more ways you find to exploit what's on offer. That is certainly true. I've been to Lucerna dozens of times over the past four years, and I swear they've hardly changed the order... Read review
