I stayed at the Luzern youth hostel with family during the Easter weekend. We wanted to travel around Luzern and this was the cheapest according to our research. The hostel is located at a fantastic location in Luzern and easily accesible from the central station by public transportation. The staff is also fantastic and extremely courteous and helpful. The absence... More

I spent there one night together with other 4 friends, on July 2011. As expected, the prices for accomodation in Luzern were very high, so we opted for a youth hostel following the advices of some other friends of ours - "youth hostels in Switzerland are much better than in the rest of the world". And so it was. Sure... More

Stayed for 2 nights with 3 young children. Rented a 6 beds room to ourselves. Paid the extra for an empty bed just for privacy. Lockers in the room, so you can lock important stuffs. But we didn't have to do that as we had the whole place for ourselves. There are 1 male and 1 female shower at our... More

Located in a very beautiful countryside setting, ideal for young groups going on vacation to this most beautiful part of Switzerland. Friendly staff, filling breakfast and decent prices for the budget travellers. The nearest bus point is just 5 mins by walk - and one would enjoy walking in this locale...

It is hostel, so do not expect any luxury. The staff here is very co-operative, they help in locating the sight to suit your requirement. Staff does not get tiered to reply your emails... try their best to satisfy your requirements. Rooms are smaller than my expectation, even considering the hostel kind of arrangement. Location is away from station, so... More

Lucerne and Switzerland in general are very expensive. I couldn't find anything of value within Lucerne that included an in suite bathroom, so we stayed at the youth hostel. Its quiet, clean and has people of all ages and ethnicities.

It's a 10 minute walk from the main train station. It's on the side of Lake Lucerne opposite the casio so it's not necessarily in the thick of the night life or tourist sights, but it is right next to the lake so its quite quite. There's even a beach nearby. You can get downtown with a 20 minute walk... More
