Stayed here for 2 nights. Easy to check in, room was clean. Was hostel-style, so not always the most quiet, but was not overly loud, quiet during quiet hours. Wifi was good, shared bathrooms were clean, and plentiful, did not have to wait to use bathroom or shower, there was enough for the demand. Included breakfast was delicious, included coffee and juice, big bonus! Did have a problem with accessing the front door after hours (key card wouldn’t let me in), and another guest had to let me in, but the front desk was quick to fix this in the morning once it was brought to their attention. Attentive, kind staff. Safe neighbourhood, walkable to downtown Luzern (with a large steep hill on the way to the hostel… would have to be able bodied enough for it), but also lots of public transport in the area. Would recommend, very professional. Would stay with them again for sure.

This was my first hostel experience. Overall, it was fine but I had to get use to the small room with no frills and a shared bathroom. The experience turned out well overall and I would do one again. The biggest plus was the nice breakfast which saved us $. Getting to the hostel wasn't too bad. It was a 5 min. walk from the bus stop and 10 min. max. downtown from here.

Luzern Youth Hostel was very clean, quiet and comfortable. Breakfast was really good as well. Best of all I had the room to myself, which was unexpected as it was a dormitory. If I could be guaranteed that I would stay in hostels always. The one downside is having to pay extra for a towel
