Hubby and I stayed here for 1 night and we were pretty comfortable here. We got a private room (shared bath) with twin beds which was od good size and surprisingly had a balcony too. It's very very close to the Lion monument, but it's a longer walk to the railway and steamboat stations - which is accessible by bus... More

Minimal facilities , recommended for budget travelers only. Location very good, extremely close to Lion Monument. All the major tourist attraction are nearby,you can cover lot of attractions by foot also.You also have Indian Restaurant next to it, which is added attraction for Indian travelers. Rooms are small & windows open in by-lanes which is a bit turn-down. You get... More

I have not stayed in many hostels and this was the first is Switzerland. It was clean, reception was generally helpful. The location was a bit far from the main part of town, but near the famous Weeping Lion Statue. Common rooms were "spare" in terms of comfort. Dorm room size(4 bed) was about average for what we encountered later... More

We arrived to this place at the middle of the day when reception was shut, and had to come back later. No big problem. However when we returned there were 3 people in front of us waiting to check in. This took well over an hour due to the only receptionist taking phone calls, and the fact that all the... More

I stayed there for two nights in Lucerne and my summary of the place was that everything was just "passable". The location was not too bad (but not ideal), it was beside the lion monument and was 15 mins walk to the old town. We booked a 4-bed dorm with shared facilities and had the room to ourselves for the... More

My goodness this place gave me the creeps. But hey, the hostel's location is very near the Dying Lion Monument, and the main train station. The manager of Lion Lodge didn't impress me much with his "mannerisms." I had to pay five swiss francs to RENT a bath towel. The shower stall (down the hall) was not big enough for... More

The owner is an Indian gentleman. The location is good, only a few minutes walk to the central station, the price OK , a little high. I just was left with impression that everything was done to get the most money from the client for the least provided, so i am not at all surpriswed by reviews of dirty pillow... More
