Altstadt Hotel Magic Luzern is a small budget hotel at Kornmarkt 1 in the old town of Luzern, near the Rathaus (town hall). The Kornmarkt is one of the historic squares of the Altstadt, a short walk from the Reuss river, the Kapellbrücke and the Weinmarkt, and the railway station is about ten to fifteen minutes away on foot. Check-in and breakfast are handled at the Altstadt Hotel Krone on Weinmarkt 12, so arriving guests must go to that address first rather than to the Kornmarkt building, a detail worth noting before travelling. The building has no lift, which affects guests with heavy luggage or mobility needs. Rooms are offered as Single Rooms and Double Rooms, and indicative double-room rates run from about CHF 100 to CHF 180 per night depending on season, which is inexpensive for a central Altstadt location. Wifi is listed, and no restaurant, pool or spa is advertised; breakfast is taken at the Krone, and the old town offers many cafes and restaurants within a few minutes' walk. The guest rating of about 3.7 is modest, indicating a basic stay where location and price are the main attractions. Service character is minimal and practical, aimed at budget travellers and short-stay visitors who want to be in the pedestrian heart of Luzern. Visitors should confirm arrival procedures and reception hours with the hotel in advance, particularly for late arrivals, and should be prepared for stairs. The Altstadt can be noisy on summer evenings because of nearby bars and terraces, and light sleepers may ask for a quieter room. Because the old town is largely pedestrian, arrival by taxi to the nearest drop-off point is easiest. Overall the hotel offers inexpensive rooms on the Kornmarkt, with check-in and breakfast at the Krone nearby.
