Maybe for solo backpackers it's a good option! For those of us who booked a private room where you pay 150 to 250 francs, no! There are only 2 bathrooms for 20 guests and they were dirty the whole time! I asked the 2 guys in charge to clean the bathrooms and they told me they wouldn't be cleaned until the afternoon! Bathrooms full of hair and I never noticed that they were cleaned well, the bath towels seem to be more for drying your feet! Because of their size! The guys who understood the reception with mediocre service and spent most of their time sitting in the dining room with their cell phones and computers! The owner was not there! Without a doubt I do not recommend it!

The host: Rainer is such a great host! He is really accommodating and is willing to help out with pretty much everything you would need. He makes a big effort to give his guests the best stay possible in Luzern. He is also very present in the house so he is not far away if you have questions or just want to have a chat. Additionally, he is just a great personality and fun to be around. The place: First of all, the place has an amazing view of Luzern and the stunning mountains around!🤩🤩🤩 The house is newly renovated so everything is quite new which is great. The hostel is very clean - both in the rooms and common areas. The kitchen and bathrooms are really good as well. The house has multiple cameras thus security is no problem and you feel comfortable and safe. The house have everything you could need. It really just have a homey feeling 🥰 The vibe: The best thing about the house is the people and the vibe! Rainer has made a really good framework for getting the best people into the house. Its especially good if you're travelling alone or 2 people. There is always new people to meet and everyone is so friendly. There is also a group chat for the hostel so everyone can communicate and make plans with each other. Definitely go here when you're in Luzern!

Amazing host! This place is very clean with a stellar view of the city! I was able to meet like minded individuals and made some new friendships. The place also came with laundry machine. I would recommend it for any solo traveller or anyone visiting Luzern.

Switzerland, in general, is expensive. And while the pricing of this hostel might seem high, it is worth every penny! Of all the hostels I’ve stayed, Rainer’s is the most beautiful. It’s his attention to detail which sets his place apart. Everything here is so well appointed and he’s thought ahead about anything a traveler could possibly want. This is a definite stay for anyone traveling to or through Lucerne.
