Kriens, Lucerne
At the hostel, the rooms come with a patio with a garden view. The rooms are equipped with a shared bathroom and coffee machine, while some rooms also feature a balcony and others also feature city views. At Young Backpackers Homestay rooms are equipped with bed linen and towels. Reviews don't lie. Congrats if you see this comment 'coz you have found a gem just like I did :) Rainer was a great host, he really mean it when he said "welcome home". I have stayed at many backpacker hostels when traveling alone before this but none of them gave the same vibe as Rainer's place. I felt extremely calm and safe staying at his place. The homestay is beautiful, clean, warm, and equipped with everything we need (including converter, padlock, numerous charging points etc). It also has a great view and I enjoy looking at the scenery through the big window in the living room. I also love that they have female-only rooms and big bathrooms. I think people tend to just naturally mingle with each other under the comfortable atmosphere in the homestay. Everyone were just so lovely and friendly. Rainer sets few simple rules which give all the guests a peace of mind. As he is staying at the same place I could easily reach out to him if I had any questions. He will give a clear guidance once you make the booking and that basically will answer all the questions you may have about his place. Few quick pointers that may help: 1) Transport: There is a bus stop just 2min walking distance from the homestay and the bus never failed to arrive on time (helpful tips: use SBB apps to monitor the time schedule). The bus comes twice in an hour and takes around 18mins to town. 2) Early check in: As I reached Lucerne early in the morning Rainer allowed me to leave my luggage at the homestay before the check-in time 3) Breakfast/ Food: Simple breakfast (instant noodles, bread, cereals) with additional charges are provided, all prices are specified on the menu and you could just make your own payment using the credit card machine in the kitchen. You can also buy your own ingredients and cook. The kitchen are well equipped with the cooking utensils.

Lucerne
This modern hostel is situated in Lucerne, 2 km away from the train station and the city centre. It offers a cosy lounge with TV and a library with reading corner. Guests receive a free public transport ticket for the duration of their stay upon check-in. The youth hostel in Lucerne is very good. Located a little way from the centre, but easily walking distance. Clean facilities, comfy beds, quiet, friendly staff and excellent buffet breakfast! :)
It is Swiss standard. Best Hostel ever experienced. I have a nice experience staying here. Staffs are very kind and friendly both front and breakfast. Everything is so clean , every corner , every floor. Happy traveller
The 4 bed female room was clean compact and not congested..the kitchen was fully equipped..connectivity is excellent.and safe for solo female travellers. There were locker facility available at the hostel for luggage storage upon deposit of 2 franks.
The Lucern Youth Hostel was a disappointing experience. The location, about 2.2 km (30-35 minute walk) from the city center, is inconvenient, and relying on the bus schedule can be frustrating. The room I booked, with 20 beds, was overcrowded and stuffy, with only two windows. The confusing numbering system made navigating the maze of rooms, stairways, and hallways a challenge. Being distant from the city center means no nearby stores or restaurants, forcing the hostel to charge high prices for food and drinks.
The capsules were completely black out and as far as I am aware - sound proof. This hostel was exactly what I needed after a long few days of travel. I was able to sleep peacefully for over 10 hours. The breakfast (at a cost) was good value for money and the staff were always willing to help, including leaving my luggage after check out giving me free will to explore for a few more hours prior to my next train.
Genuinely one of the best hostels I've ever stayed at. Extremely comfortable beds with plenty of space and privacy as they are within personal pods, which were very nice. The Peter Pan vibe/theme of the hostel was very fun and imaginative. Clean bathrooms and showers that included shampoo & body wash. Nice common area to do work which included a bar for tasty food, drinks, and coffee. Friendly and helpful staff. Easy self check-in & check-out.
One of the best Hostels I've ever stayed in! Everything clean and organized. The bed is good, spacious and dark to sleep. (and with lights that regulate) Perfect location. bathroom with sink, shower and toilet together. (It makes it a lot easier.)
One of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed at!! Super clean and cosy and in a great location. Would definitely stay here again :)
everyone was super nice and friendly, really cheap place for how great it was, no question the best hostel i have ever been
Young Backpackers Homestay is by far the best hostel I have stayed in. Sgt Reiner is an absolute legend and a phenomenal host, wonderful location, great craic and spotless clean pretty much a 5 star hotel. 100% staying here again at some point definitely recommended.
