Guest Reviews
- Paula Estefania (10/5): Bien - Me quedé en un cuarto femenino, muy tranquilo y acogedor 1. Las camas no tenían cortinas y privacidad
2. El chico con quien realice el cheking un poco molesto porque no entendía muy bien el idioma (mala disposición)
- Marko (7/5): - Breakfast is quite good for the hostel. They even offer hard boiled eggs
Facilities to hang out are nice, but limited There's no fresh air in the 20 people room, not the best for a night sleep.
Bed wasn't too comfortable, ok for a one night. Lining is quite old.
Shower I was using wasn't working properly.
- Khilari (8/5): - Adjacent River side walk
- Mea Linn (9/5): -
- Norbert (7/5): - Das Frühstück war spitze. Gepflegte saubere. Anlage. Gute kostenlose (mit dem kostenlosen Gästepass) Busverbindung nach Luzern. Kleines Zimmer. Kein Aufzug.
- Juan (10/5): Muy cómodo - Estaba muy limpio. A solo 10 minutos desde la estación de trenes de Lucerna, en la línea 19. El desayuno tipo buffet excelente.
- Caroline (7/5): - Beds were extremely comfortable There are no cooking facilities or kitchen area for use. There is a small microwave. No cutlery available, only plastic ones which you have to pay for.
There is a small living room with a few couches and a pool table upstairs but not very inviting, interior in general.needs updating, feels more like prison cells than a nice shared space.
Breakfast is basic - bread and cereal with a few meats and cheese. There is no system ie help to to move people along if they are only looking to access coffee machine and not toaster. Easy fixes.
Little energy or atmosphere overall. It's been a while since I used hostels but I was surprised at the bare minimum effort in this one.
€240 for two nights in a twin room
- KimCanaria (7/5): Simple but ok - Nice place Phone charged very slowly, had to charge in common areas. Breakfast could use eggs. Lockers in room didn't work.
- Sabag (1/5): - I slept in a room with 20 people, the way of storing things in lockers is inconvenient, the attitude of some of the people at the desk felt unpleasant to me, to the point of anti-Semitic. The location is far from the center, a lot of walking, inconvenient transportation.
- Risto (7/5): -
- Molly (6/5): - Nice staff good for a couple of days Not many women’s tolits or bathrooms at all
- Lauren (10/5): - Good vibes and nice space
- Andrea (8/5): - Rumore incessante di acqua corrente nelle tubature per tutta la notte nel dormitorio
- Linda (10/5): Muy buena estancia - La atención, instalaciones limpias y organizadas. Excelente desayuno
- Aurelia (7/5): -
- Erik (1/5): -
- Phuong (9/5): oke - die fast zentrale Lage vielleicht nicht
- Hasna (10/5): - Le personnel était juste parfait, très bienveillant, surtout les deux gars de la réception. Le hostel est très propre et l'emplacement est simple accessible. Merci bcp pour la splendide expérience en suisse, je n'hésierai pas de choisir le même hostel pour un prochain séjour 🥰
- Tatiana Yiceth (7/5): - Buenas instalaciones, facilidad para guardar equipaje
- Mohamed (10/5): -
- MOHAMED (6/5): -
- jon (8/5): Mejorable -
- valeria (8/5): Correcto y funcional - Las instalaciones estaban muy bien y es especialmente adecuado para jóvenes. El acceso al transporte público era muy bueno. Recomiendo solicitar la Visitor Card para no pagar el bus de la ciudad A veces es difícil encontrar personal para hacer consultas, especialmente si no hablas el idioma.
- Muriel (8/5): - Ruhige Lage nahe dem Rotsee, Wasserkocher gutes Frühstück Die lauten Nachbarinnen dafür kann das Hostel nichts
- Salomone (6/5): -
- Valeria (7/5): -
- Shiva (6/5): For a short stay it is tolerable. - Breakfast Location is not ideal, no lift, no fan, no hand wash liquid. Bed sheet is not cotton made, I was sweating all night long.
- Valeria (7/5): - Staff was kind, lounge, OK, too Cigarette smoke coming through the bedroom when sleeping, (or trying to), non stop, until late hours at night (a nightmare!!!).
- Altansukh (6/5): -
- Faisal (3/5): Bad experience - Good breakfast Room was very small, no cleaning, bathrooms were also not cleaned regularly. High cost, far from centre. So cramped upstairs space for 4 Adults hard uncomfortable beds. Had to collect linen ourselves and spread over the beds. Very poor services . Or no services at all.
- Guldis (8/5): Hat gepasst -

- Willy Iseli (4/5): - Konnte problemlos Zimmer wechseln. Strasse mit sehr viel Lärm
- GAURAV (8/5): -
- Hofstetter (7/5): -
- Poirier (9/5): - Un peu a l'écart du centre ville mais transport en commun gratuit avec l'hostel et bus fréquent au coin de la rue. Petit déjeuner inclus et très bien, varié, beaucoup de nourriture. Calme. Propre.
Je recommande. Frais car non résident du pays a notre arrivée.
Pas de frigo disponibles pour la section hostel mais ils ont accepté de mettre un peu de nourriture en arrière du comptoir dans leur frigo (mais personnel présent seulement de 8h à 21h).
Dortoir pouvant accueillir 20 femmes, seulement 3 toilettes et 2 douches.
- Natallia (10/5): -
- Elisa (10/5): Comodo punto d'appoggio - Posizione comoda, grandi spazi condivisi, colazione ricca e bagni spaziosi
- Jan-Philipp (8/5): -
- Björn (8/5): - Litet men bra rum
aningen få duschar
ligger lite utanför centrum, men bussar funkar bra mycket familjer och många ungar som skriker,leker och stör
- Ria (8/5): -
- Mehryar (8/5): - The twinroom was absolutely incredible. Nothing
- Anna (8/5): Nice hostel, nice stuff. - Close to center, nice place
- M Ramlow (8/5): -
- Mireia (6/5): - Camas cómodas No había ascensor, no incluía toallas ni secador
- Alejandra MC (10/5): - Bien Todo bien
- Stéphane (8/5): Bien - L’emplacement et le calme Rien
- Corentin (10/5): -
- Puja (10/5): -
- Shloka (8/5): - Friendly staff, good facilities. Well connected. Arianna at the reception desk was super helpful and gave us lot of good suggestions. Slightly away from the centre. My bed light wasn't working. Couldn't charge my phone.
- Daniel Maf (9/5): - All
- Franziska (7/5): Gute Jugi - Frühstücksbuffet
- Dhruv (8/5): - Awesome breakfast, super clean rooms and washrooms.
Staff is kind as well
Loved it !
- Giorgia Serafin (10/5): -
- prasu G (9/5): -
- Shareef (10/5): - Hotel was very clean, good staff and neat and clean environment good view from the room. All the games was not free, it should be free
- Walter (9/5): Angenehm und leider zu kurz. - freundliches Personal, für das Ambiente reichhaltiges Frühstück und genügend gut ausgestattete Zimmer.
Sagen wir (waren 5 Freunde im 6-Bett-Zimmer) gemeinsam - DANKE !! Können wir schlecht sagen. Wir hatten eine einfache, schlichte Unterkunft erwarteten.
Wurden gut überrascht.
- matulaitis (9/5): -
- Uwe (10/5): - Für eine Jugendherberge ist das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis sehr gut. Wir hatten in unserem Zimmer eine Dusche. Deshalb habe ich 10 verteilt.
- Marcello (9/5): -
- Chiara (10/5): -
- Sibel (5/5): Mecbursam kalacağım bir yer, fiyat uygunluğu ve konumu dışında başka avantajı yoktu. - Konumu iyiydi. Oda küçük ve pek temiz değildi. Banyoda duş dışında bir şey yoktu.
- Ashler (8/5): Das Aufenthanlt war eigentlich sehr gut - Das Personal war sehr nett Das Zimmerreinigung war sehr spät
- Cynthia (10/5): - Parking à disposition
- CHRYSOULA (7/5): - The location was convenient, just a few meters from the bus stop. Check-in was smooth. Buffet breakfast available from early in the morning. I understand it's Switzerland/Luzern, and prices are considerably higher than in other countries/cities, but I still believe that more than 100 euros for an one-night stay in a small room with shared bathroom in a Youth Hostel is too much.
- Pierre (8/5): Une auberge de qualité YHA vous proposant de nombreux services. - Auberge cosmopolite, la réception est chaleureuse et les chambres sont propres. L'espace de co-working et le wi-fi fonctionne parfaitement. Un kikker et un billard permettent de s'y détendre. Le repas doit être réservé à l'avance et il est nécessaire de prévoir votre vaisselle pour les repas en dehors du restaurant.
- Dr Ahmad (3/5): - Not recommended
- Maria Angela (2/5): -
- CATHERINE (5/5): -
- Valentino (10/5): -
- Rina (7/5): Amazing - The room is nice and cosy There’s wasn’t enough charging port in the common areas.
Should have a wash basin
- Paksorn (9/5): It's one of the best hostel so far. - Breakfast is good, but a bus is a bit far because its changes the bus stop to a new location. It is not convenient for a heavy luggage to carry up and down. We travelled one month so we have a heavy luggage.
- Ben (7/5): -
- Antonia (7/5): -
- Nicolaus (4/5): Non lo consiglio assolutamente, visto anche il prezzo lo trovo pessimo - Ben poco… la colazione, ma visto il prezzo mi aspetto ben di più in generale… La struttura è estremamente vecchia dentro, per nulla moderna. La camera, letto polveroso e con capelli/peli e per terra sporchissima; una camera con 20 letti e solamente due docce, piccole; la posizione, che non è il massimo visto che è in salita e a mezz’ora dalla stazione a piedi; non ho trovato la cucina!!!; ci sono due rampe di scale per salire alla camere, che portano a camere diverse, non mi pare di aver ricevuto indicazioni chiare; è la prima volta che a un ostello (DELLA GIOVENTÙ) ci sono famiglie con bambini piccoli che giocano urlando e strillando nelle aree comuni…
- Wun-Jyun (9/5): -
- Daniel (8/5): -
- Tanjumana (1/5): -
- Katherine (6/5): Estadía aceptable para una noche - Desayuno delicioso
Tarjeta de bus para movilizarte por la zona 10 de Lucerna
Casilleros disponibles aunque debes tener una moneda de 2 francos para poder utilizarlo La limpieza de los baños y cuartos no era la mejor
El check in es demasiado tarde, a partir de las 4 pm. Incluso al llegar tienes que hacer la cama y al finalizar la estadía tienes que desarmarla y llevar sábanas sucias a un lugar por lo que no entiendo la tardanza de entregar la habitación.
Mucho ruido y desorden en los espacios comunes por otro tipo de huéspedes
- Bartosz (10/5): Polecam to miejsce . - Lokalizacja Wszytko
- Erika (10/5): -
- Sotirios (9/5): -
- Emily (6/5): Great besides the night experience. - The day shift staff was amazing along with the accommodations The night shift staff was honestly terrible. I was playing music in the shower which I understand would bother guests at night but the night shift guy banged on the door very aggressively and yelled. I was honestly terrified and unsure what I was coming out to. I thought someone was going to come in and take advantage of me or kill me. Which does sound extreme but that was the way he was yelling and banging. Even when he spoke to me afterwards he kept yelling and pointing in my face getting closer to me. Very intimidating and poorly handled to say the least. I was more than ok to turn off the music but the yelling and aggression really scared me and made me want to leave.
- Louise (8/5): Bon séjour - Propreté, arrêt de bus à proximité Très bruyant jusqu’à tard le soir
- Lorena (8/5): -
- antonia (6/5): Good hostel, rude management - Very good for the price, facilities were clean, location was good. Check in hours are very restrictive and management was very unpleasant when I tried to check in at 9 pm. I firmly believe they would have let me sleep outside event hough the reservation was pre-paid had I not kept escalating the phone calls. Very unpleasant, but once I had my room card everything was OK.
- Gert (8/5): -
- Santiago (7/5): - El comedor Solo estaba la recepcion unas horas por la tarde
- Ute (7/5): - Das Frühstück war umfangreich und gut.
Der Empfang freundlich und zuvorkommend. Unser 4Bett Zimmer war bewohnt von jemanden, der schon seit 3 Wochen dort wohnte. Die Luft war schlecht und es wirkte nicht so passend, eine einmalige Übernachtung mit einem Dauergast zu kombinieren. Was nichts mit der Person persönlich zu tun hatte!
- Maria Carolina (10/5): Limpo e organizado, equipe atenciosa. - Hostel com ótima estrutura, limpo e organizado, melhor do que muitos hotéis e pousadas. Café da manhã com boa variedade de alimentos e bebidas, aquecimento funcionando bem. Equipe atenciosa e prestativa. Boa localização, fácil para se deslocar de ônibus ao centro de Lucerna. Nenhuma queixa, o hostel nos atendeu perfeitamente.
