Barabas - Hostel

Overall good stay and nice area and late just round the corner

Amenities worked very well, daily room service, very clean and quiet. Nice kitchen, showers, and bathrooms. Great stay!

Staff were super helpful!

Clean room, clean sheets, clean showers. No air conditioning. The hallway window doesn't open, so there is no air flow.

Too hot. No AC. Very small. Nice powerful shower, though.

The staff was very helpful. We appreciated being able to store our luggage until we could check in. The historical aspect of the hotel being a former prison was amazing. The proximity to the Chapel bridge, Lion Monument and train station was superb. We highly recommend the Barabas Hostel.

Staff was so friendly she also served like a visitor center receptionist

Fun little theme! A bit hot with just the small fan they give you in the room but seriously the property is cute and close to everything.

great stay and good breakfast, you just need to provide your own lock for the lockers

Nice staff and good location

Great location in interesting setting. Our main complaint was that the room was very stuffy and hot. There was a fan in the room but difficult to keep three of us cool. We just landed in Switzerland and this was fine for night one to recover from jet lag.

Very clean and helpful staff. Definitely would stay here again.

Very cool to stay in an old prison! We arrived before check-in and they let us store our bags in a luggage room (which is unlocked and near the main entrance). The room is small, 2 twin sized beds. The sink is in the room. The shower pressure was great. No hairdryer but you can get one at the front desk with a deposit. Very basic stay but was a great location for our 1 night in Lucerne!

Love the area, attractions are walkable. Old town Luzern is dreamy. The room just gets warm coz it was heatwave, but there was a fan but not enough to cool the room.

This was probably the most interesting place I have ever stayed, a former prison! But it was clean, the staff friendly and the breakfast worth while! I would recommend it for its quiet location too and a short walk to the main attractions and restaurants 😀

The main cafeteria room was not available to go eat in during restaurant operation, there was not really anywhere to eat or heat our lunch (maybe it is only because we took the "cell" room but nonetheless...). The room itself lacks a couple of things, first is shower and toilet privacy with semi translucide walls, the steps to get on top of bunk beds are so small that it hurts your feet, the window is too high for a normal person to be able to access it and open or close it... Good idea but implementation is to be revisited...

The location was great, everything was so close including the train station. The breakfast was also great!

Novel and efficient a decent value place to see in this beautiful city.

Average property with clean enough room.ok for solo travellers.

Great location.
