Had a great experience there, the views are incredible , everyone was so nice &
This was an amazing hostel with amazing people. The host is fabulous. It is clean and super comfortable. I felt super safe and so welcome. I will be coming back for sure. Super amazing. 10/10. Will always recommend.
I ended up here by happy accident! My booked hotel didn't have my reservation, so last minute I traveled late into Lucerne and stayed here. Turned out to be such a wonderful place! Clean, gorgeous view, great location, wonderful host, and some really lovely other travellers staying there. 5 stars all around. Thank you for letting me stay!
