Unique property in a former jail. We stayed in the Hotel Nozomi portion. Quiet, comfortable beds, plenty of hot water, very clean. Everything in the room (Nozomi 3) seemed new and is in great condition. Breakfast was included and there were a lot of choices (granola, cheese, bread, yogurt, fruit, etc). A supermarket is across the street. Walkable from the train station. Take water with you as restaurants charge for tap water. We would definitely stay again.

We had an amazing stay at barabas hotel. The room we stayed in was huge the washroom was pristine.Everything was clean. Room had coffee machine and fridge with soda in them. Lots of storage space.The self check in was not working when we arrived, however they have 24 hr reception and one of the staff members helped us right away. The breakfast was basic . I would highly recommend staying at this location. We really enjoyed our day here and truly appreciate the fact they offer free luggage storage before and after checkout.

Perfect location in the old town, very close to everything and a short walk from the train station. The room could get a bit stuffy but thankfully they provide a fan. I’m not sure what the temperatures would be like during the height of summer but it was fine in September. Bathrooms in the rooms aren’t the most private. Staff were friendly. Would stay again for the price/location.

The property is a fun idea of staying in prison, it is barebones but clean with a really good breakfast. I would recommend Barabas to anyone in Lucerne.
