Barabas - Hostel

Pagamos por una habitación superior (hotel Nozomi- 200€ la noche) que resultó tener hormigas. La única solución que nos dieron fue dormir en una de las celdas cuyas prestaciones eran,evidentemente, muchísimo peores que las de la habitación que habíamos reservado. Al reclamar una indemnización por este inconveniente al día siguiente, la recepcionista nos dice que se lo comunicará a su superior y se pondrán en contacto con nosotras. Tres semanas después sigo esperando que alguien contacte conmigo. Muy decepcionada con la gestión de este alojamiento.

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!

Das Zimmer (die Zelle) war sehr sauber und gut eingerichtet, das Personal sehr freundlich. Das Barabas hat eine sehr gute Lage in der Luzerner Altstadt.

元監獄という空間に、子供も楽しんでいました。スタッフが親切だったこと、旧市街の中心部に近いことも魅力です。

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!

Embora esteja bem localizado o acesso é apenas andando, não há transporte que te deixei mais próximo do hostel, portanto se você viaja com malas precisa empurra-las por muito tempo. Café da manhã bom!

Nice

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 😀
