This place is highly recommended if you are a young traveler traveling alone. The place is clean, comfortable, the staff are very kind, and the price is reasonable considering that you are in schweiz. The view of luzern from there is amazing.

The hostel offers a wide variety of activities and attractions, making it an ideal choice for both visitors and visitors. The hostel boasts stunning views, and its proximity to the city is a plus, thanks to the convenient bus service to and from the hotel. I wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone seeking a memorable stay.

I will definitely stay here if i ever return to schweiz. Without a doubt, the hostel is the best ive ever stayed in. The host, nina, is wonderful, kind, and keeps the place under control so neighbors are not disturbed. The location is excellent, with breathtaking views, and it is only a short bus ride from lucerne train station. I made wonderful new friends at the hostel because it is very social.

I would return many times. The hostel is truly the best ive ever been to. Everyone is incredibly friendly and welcoming, and i truly felt at home here. There are a ton of fantastic things to do in lucerne, as well as around the hostel. And could beds in fact.

The host is amazing. Everything in the accommodation is carefully planned to make it easy for guests to enjoy their stay. The location is beautiful and very close to the mt. Pilatus cable car station. I highly recommend this place for solo travelers.

This is such a wonderful experience! Rainer is a fantastic host. Extremely kind and trustworthy. The hostel typically draws in some really cool people, adding to its uniqueness. The vista is not a joke. Despite being close to town, the location doesnt seem like you are in town. He offers you a Swiss pass that magically makes the bus free? Its magic, i didnt pay for the bus once, and the bus stop is only a 2minute walk from the house. He has also a lot of connections in lucerne. Fantastic dude and house. Ill be back.

The view from this hostel is very beautiful. The bed is comfortable, the shower is great and the house is very spacious with many facilities. The host is very helpful and provides information on sightseeing and transportation. Highly recommend it!.

This hostel is truly unique, and i would recommend it to anyone, especially solo travelers looking to meet likeminded people. The hostel is located in a quieter part of town, with large windows that let you enjoy your lunch while enjoying the alps. The atmosphere is really open and friendly, which is also beneficial to all the backpackers staying here. The beds are comfortable, the food is reasonably priced, the quiet place is perfect for sleeping, and the vibe is unmatched. Rainer, montana, and mina deserve our gratitude for their kindness.

I will definitely return to this wonderful house, filled with warmth. I had an unforgettable and beautiful time here. The house is in a great location above the city. With an amazing panoramic view of the swiss Alps. You have everything your heart desires in the house. Every little detail a visitor could want has been considered in the interior design. When i arrived, the host, reiner, and the others there were all very friendly and helpful. Everyone there was very nice and upbeat.

Sisi jalan yang tenang, pemandangan spektakuler Gunung Pilatus dan beberapa danau di sekitarnya. Kerumunan yang didekorasi dengan penuh cita rasa, paham digital, penuh warna, dan ramah. Tuan rumah Rainer adalah harta karun, pastikan untuk mencoba koleksi minuman keras dan snappy-nya.

Would strongly suggest it. The location is accessible but away from the main area. The view is amazing, and the place was clean and well maintained. I woke up early and took a walk further up the hill, which ended up being an adventure of its own with amazing views. Pro tip before trekking up the hill for checkin, stop by a grocery store in the main area and pick up snacks / drinks / breakfast foods / pastries.

I cant think of a single negative thing about this place. The view is amazing! The people are so friendly! The host is amazing! Welcoming place for all young travelers and highly recommended.

Would stay again. Beautiful home with the best view, clean and comfortable. Lovely team working there, you even get a free bus pass to take the regular 10 min bus to and from town.

One of the best hostels ive ever been to is this one. The rooms are lovely and clean, and there is a massage chair with the city of lucerne in the background. The host is incredibly kind, kind, and polite, creating a relaxed, laidback, and open atmosphere that allows for wonderful interactions with young people from all over the world. The view from the balcony is amazing, the kitchen is fully equipped with everything you could possibly need, and there is a massage chair with the city of lucerne in the background. Rainer wahnsinn!.

Honestly, its one of the best youth hostels ive ever been to, well worth the cost! The view from the lounge is stunningly beautiful upon arrival, as is the quality of reception by rainer. The place is clean, the beds are nice, and there is a lot of attention to detail around the house that makes you feel right at home, with everything you need.

4.8/51 Mar 2023

Its a pleasure to stay here. Rainer, the host, is incredibly accommodating and treats you like a real person, not just a customer in his business. The house is exceptional, hightech, and equipped with all the necessary amenities such as international adapters, wet bags for floating down the lake, locker locks, and more. I cannot emphasize enough how highly i recommend staying at this wonderland. Thank you for the great conversation, rainer.

This place is highly recommended. This place has a fantastic view. The rooms are spacious and tidy. The kitchen, shower, and terrace are all welldesigned and fresh. The staff is extremely friendly and supportive. They have a special collection of homemade schnapps, which makes the guesthouse feel more comfortable.
