Stayed here as we wanted budget accommodation and hotels were so expensive.  We had a very pleasant surprise. It was very welcoming.  The bedroom, communal kitchen and shared bathrooms were all very clean and well kept.
Nice mixture of other guests old and young.
Lovely location by the lake and an easy bus ride into town

Great location

For people looking for a budget accommodation while visiting Lucerne, this is a great choice. We were couple with a teenage son.  Booked a three bed room with shared bathroom. Room was quite large with attached balcony. Was impressed with the clean toilets - separate shower and toilet rooms. Clean and well maintained.
Location : only issue is the 15 minutes walk to the railway station. But you can walk just 5 minutes to the bus station ( at the back side) and take bus to Luzerne railway station ( hardly 5 minutes).
Kitchen : Well equipped and fun to cook. Also  plenty of sitting arrangements with tables to enjoy meals. Interesting decoration and display throughout the ground floor.
Reception: Happy and smiling face greeted us on arrival. Also for any query - bus station direction and kitchen help - was always answered with a smile. Cant imagine why some reviewers mentioned differently - We had nice response every time.
Bed sheets and linen : You will be given clean and folded sheets on arrival. You have to make your bed with them - remember this is a budget hostel and hence have to respect the rules here.
Overall great experience since I was only looking for a clean bed and a clean toilet. Whole day we were out visiting switzerland.
Will definitely come again. Highly recommended.   

Great choice for Budget travelers

Lovely clean hostel with helpful staff in a good location near beach and railway station. We are a family of four with two children who are 15 and 12, so shared a four bed dorm, which was great. We were travelling round Switzerland by train so was great being close to railway station and main attractions. Did not feel that busy and had two kitchens so loads of room to cook. Could hire stand up paddle boards (SUP) very cheaply to use at nearby beach next to lake. 

Lovely clean hostel with helpful staff in a great location near station and attractions

A wonderful place to stay. Maybe a little away and some distance to walk but worth. Very warm staff and thoroughly professional.Very  clean linen. Bath and toilet sparklingly clean. Facilities in the kitchen are adequate. But the timings are a little inconvenient.

Great place

Stayed here for 2 nights and wished I stayed longer. Lucerne city is amazing and the hostel was great. 4 bed dorm, beds were comfortable, lockers for bags, balcony outside, clean room and bathrooms. The girls welcome you with a massive smile thanks to Marina and Andrea. One of my favourite stays in 12 weeks around Europe. Keep up the great work 👍

Great hostel 

I stayed here 6/19-6/21/19. Best time to visit Switzerland before the College & Schools get out for the summer (cheaper deals). This place has an amazing setting right in front of the Lake. The customer service is phenomenal & honestly it is because of that I have to give high rating. The hostel itself is a little ways off from the old Lucerne city (like 12 min quick walk) but there are constant buses that can take you to the main Lucerne Bahnhoff (train station). It is really not that far from the Bahnhoff & main bridge that takes you in to the old city. It is NOT a party hostel so if you have that mind set don't bother. That being said travelers were of all ages from young 18 yr olds to families w/ older kids (young teenagers) etc. People do intermingle & younger folks (your 20 - early 30s) do join up at times for basic games of poker etc. Night time is quiet & the bathrooms are extremely clean. At sometime if you want to chill, all you have to do is walk out the main door & you are right in front of the lake!. I would recommend buying the Pilatus Mountain tour from the reception as they get a huge discount. 
The kitchen amenities are good but they have certain times so could be a drawback. One part of the smaller kitchen I believe is always open.

Very good with Excellent staff

Very clean hostel with modern, updated bathrooms. Booked a private room for 2 nights. Although it was a shared bathroom, it felt like we had one to ourselves. Lounge space is broken up so you don’t get that feel I love with hostels where you all sit around and chat but that was ok. Comfortable beds with nice balcony and clean. Staff was very helpful.

Good Value

Wow, the rooms were quite a delight for a hostel! Spacious, with a balcony, a ledge and a table so that I could spread out a bit if I wanted to. There were sinks outside but only one bathroom per floor. The lounge and kitchen were spacious and well stocked. The staff were super awesome, kind and accommodating. It is a good 15 min walk into town to see the sights, but since I caught a spell of good weather and I love walking, I ain't complaining...yes, even with my backpack on arrival and departure days :)

Spacious and good value for money

I actually stayed her quite awhile ago with a bunch of exchanges students and it was a memory of a lifetime.  This place was cozy and comfortable. I will definitely be returning again. Not only was it beautiful and clean but the staff was extremely friendly,great to work with and very helpful.
4 Stars ****

A lot of fun students

This is located 10mins from Lucerne main station. The rooms are basic but with very clean common Kitchens and washrooms. I visited in June last week and it was very hot inside the rooms(as it was sun facing). I asked for fans but they said they don't have any. I think they should keep some spare fans. The place is surrounded by awesome beach to sit and relax.
