The hostel was very cozy and a convenient location. Although it is not actually in Lucerne the bus station is right outside and you get free tickets! The beds were very comfortable and we slept great. However, the check in desk has nobody there from 11 am to 4 pm check in... where were we supposed to put our luggage? Also, the shower wouldn't drain and was very small and gross. If you're a budget traveler, I would still recommend staying here!
This hotel is very impressive. The view across the lake to Mt. Pilatus was spectacular. The hotel staff were so welcoming and hospitable...making our stay such an enjoyable experience. The room was spacious, bed comfortable and bathroom huge. Breakfast was an enormous buffet as well as ”a la cart”... Walking was very convenient and major railway easy to get to on foot and easy to navigate. The lake, Mt. Pilatus, the cog railway to and from and the trip to Zermatt easy to navigate. A side trip to Appenzelle with friends was a dream.
I really was looking just somewhere to sleep over night. I was out all day from 8am till late. For those hours there is no good transport getting to or leaving the Hotel. Everything was amazing. Very clean. The room had no air-con, so it was very hot. There was a fun. The cows are just outside and their bells are making noises all night. The fruit and vegetable van arrived at about 8am again just outside my room and making delivering noises again. Perhaps the hotel should supply some ear plugs.
