Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    One of the best Hostels I've ever stayed in! Everything clean and organized. The bed is good, spacious and dark to sleep. (and with lights that regulate) Perfect location. bathroom with sink, shower and toilet together. (It makes it a lot easier.)

    The hostel is very close to the main railway station and some supermarkets. The design of the capsule and the dormitory is unique. The capsule is comfortable and its temperature is also good.

    The hotel was in a great location. 5min walk from the train station, super close to the lake and to cafés etc. The neighbourhood felt very safe and busy, and the hotel was still isolated enough from the main road so you didn't get to hear any outside noise. The staff was great, super friendly.

    The best hostel i have ever stayed. The staff is nice. They offer to store luggage even after check out. The rooms were good. The kitchen is fully equipped which helps as food in Switzerland is very expensive. There are two kitchens. It is 10-15 min walk from Lucern station and Luzern inseli park bus station. The hostel is right in front of the lake and garden which makes for excellent views.

    It was a welcoming environment and I felt comfortable and safe. Everything was clean and the host was incredibly friendly. I have never stayed at a hostel before and I am so glad that I was able to stay at Rainer’s place.

    Very safe, your capsule is like your room. It is opens only from inside, from outside only with your pin. Very cosy. Hostel is 3 min from old town. Shower is so clean. They give towel also. Very friendly personal. If you stay there, they do for you Lucerne pass. You can enjoy discounts with it and get free pass for bus inside Lucerne line 10.

    It’s a strange experience to sleep in a prison. Great idea to renew it and make an hostel. Great location, it is clean and all new.
