We loved this place! It was clean, simple and really perfect for a stay in Lucerne. Breakfast was great and dinner option (extra) was really good! Common areas were excellent and comfortable. Was not too crowded in early October. We had a private room with private bathroom and the beds/pillows were amazing. Probably some of the best beds we had on a 2-week European trip. The room did not have a/c so in the summer, that might not be comfortable. We had a table lamp in our room but no outlets except by the door. Hotel did our laundry for us (10 CHF for one large wash/dry load) and that was an unexpected surprise! Highly recommend.

We had a single room which was small but its furniture provide many compartments. Many shared toilets and showers never need to wait in a line. The breakfast was excellent with many choices. The only downside was the noise from the traffic on the road in front of the building. Need a earplug for sleep.

Staff who served breakfast did their best helping guests with their needs. The room we had is musty. The bathroom close to our room is not properly maintained. Its smells urine and even penetrate our room.

The property was dated but clean and maintained. Breakfast was excellent. They should have combined the toilet and bathroom facilities. The rooms were very small. Lots of stairs too. I love the fact locks are provided for lockers in Switzerland. No fans but the windows open wide. The hostels need to ban smoking in all areas inside and out. The smoke floated in. Please! It is 2026. Smoking is outdated. The hostel is short walk from the bus to town. No stores close by.

Luzern Youth Hostel was very clean, quiet and comfortable. Breakfast was really good as well. Best of all I had the room to myself, which was unexpected as it was a dormitory. If I could be guaranteed that I would stay in hostels always. The one downside is having to pay extra for a towel

Everything was well-run and the staff were all welcoming and hospitable. The shared bathrooms and showers were in great shape and always clean. Our only “complaint” was really just a suggestion: air hand dryers in the bathrooms instead of paper towels. The paper towels were above average in quality and we appreciated that, but we felt hand dryers might be more ecological. Overall, a great value for the money and well organized.

Affordable accommodation in Lucerne, about 3 km from the city center. Around 10 minutes by bus plus a short walk, or a 30-minute walk to town. The visitor card and included breakfast were nice extras. Reception was open until 9 PM, and quiet hours were supposed to start at 10:30 PM, but unfortunately, guests were noisy and shouting throughout the night. Otherwise private room was good enough for 2 people. Lift is not available so carrying big bags can be a problem too.

First timer

This was my first hostel experience. Overall, it was fine but I had to get use to the small room with no frills and a shared bathroom. The experience turned out well overall and I would do one again. The biggest plus was the nice breakfast which saved us $. Getting to the hostel wasn't too bad. It was a 5 min. walk from the bus stop and 10 min. max. downtown from here.

The youth hostel is located very well and thats alteady the best thing. The rooms are very small, old and very run-down. The toilet and bathroom/shower are in the hallway. There is only one toilet and one shower for the entire hallway. The breakfast selection was very limited and nothing special. It's simply not enough for such a high price you pay.

Family holiday

Booked on a Quad Room with the 2-bunk beds, shared T&B on Aug 16-19,2023. Just very warm on summer days thus we opened the windows while on beds just to get fresh air. Around 8mins walk to local bus stop, 8-10mins going to the Centre. Breakfast included and good enough to start your day. You have to pay extra for towel at €3.00 each however linens are free. Warm Receptions a plus yet up to 7pm only.

Stayed here for 2 nights. Easy to check in, room was clean. Was hostel-style, so not always the most quiet, but was not overly loud, quiet during quiet hours. Wifi was good, shared bathrooms were clean, and plentiful, did not have to wait to use bathroom or shower, there was enough for the demand. Included breakfast was delicious, included coffee and juice, big bonus! Did have a problem with accessing the front door after hours (key card wouldn’t let me in), and another guest had to let me in, but the front desk was quick to fix this in the morning once it was brought to their attention. Attentive, kind staff. Safe neighbourhood, walkable to downtown Luzern (with a large steep hill on the way to the hostel… would have to be able bodied enough for it), but also lots of public transport in the area. Would recommend, very professional. Would stay with them again for sure.
