I thought the staff was nice and helpful.. the area is easy to get to and very pretty and safe....take number 19 bus..... but i could not stay there again for 2 reasons...1- the mattress was awful...my back was killing me, its very thin...i brought my own blanket to cover the pillowcase even though they give you clean sheets and im glad they did...2- the shower was soo small i could barely put my clothes on...ive stayed in many hostels and this was good for one night but the mattress was painful and im.glad it was just 1 night.. I was in a room with 4 other females

We travelled as a family, two adults a 2 year old and a dog. The room was simple, with two separate beds but enough space to have also a luggage. The breakfast was included and it was pretty standar, but always nice to have. Personel was extremely nice, above all with my daughter. I loved the common rooms, there was one with sofas and books/toys and it was super convenient as there was a storm outside and we needed to have some entertainment. The only issue we had, but was expected, was the other guests. We go to bed pretty early (9 pm) and there was a group of teenagers that thought it was a good idea to run up and down the stairs and scream to each other. They eventually stopped around 11 pm. So bring some earplugs if you are a light sleeper (like me, my husband and daughter were snoring regardless).

The late check-in (after 9 PM) was confusing. For late check-in I was asked for my credit card and my passport data even though Hotels.com advises not to give that data. The Hostel was filled with loud kids and there were no towels.

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.

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.

8.0 / 10.0

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.

Great buffet style breakfast with exceptional options. It was clean and quiet after hours. It attracts more mature individuals and families. Best hostel I've stayed in.

4.0 / 10.0

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.

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

I really can’t recommend this hostel. There was 1 female shower and 1 toilet for 6 quadruple rooms. I had to wait to shower and wait for the toilet. Other than that, it wasn’t too bad.

6.0 / 10.0

It's just like a simple dorm room style facilities. Very basic. Considering the cost of living in Lusern, I should not expect too much. However, there were some camp activities for middle schoolers (?) going on on the day we stayed. Kids running around yelling knocking our room door for no reasons. There seemed no adults supervision until like 10 pm. And the kids upstairs kept on making loud noise. They finally quiet down like 11:30 pm. I am sure this only happen occasionally. I hope the administrators of this facility can look into this issue.

the location is not so good, it's dark and fewer people are around the building in the evening. It would be nice if there is a staff for 24 hours, because there is a guy who keep speaking phone for 30min at 10 pm. However, the breakfast is great, I will consider come back next time

It is a safe area . Needs more lighting in the room

10.0 / 10.0

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.

All good, great for the price

It is a fair experience, given the cost of the hostel. It would be nicer though if they had considered putting a fan inside the rooms during heat seasons.

4.0 / 10.0

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.

10.0 / 10.0

It was my first hostel experience, and my only complaint is I did not know they had a laundry service until I left, I wish they advertised this somewhere, because I took the bus to do laundry. I also wish that they had fans for the room. Other than that the stay was perfect, and convenient

10.0 / 10.0

After spending my youth going through hostels, i wasnt expecting much, since prices in switzerland are generally very high, but we were very pleasantly surprised by how nice it was. Only downside is no ac in the room ans it was quite warm. But the windows openes (no screen) so it worked. Bathroom facilities were top notch.
