We stayed in dorm room for 4 which was quite comfortable.The bad part was the wait for the bathroom,surcharge added to the room bill if payment was made using credit card and lack of lift in the hotel.So if you have lots of baggage to carry,be ready to climb couple of floors with the luggage.

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

The location of the hotel is very nice which is near the Lion Monument and also the price is very reasonable, but the service provided is very poor. However i can recommend this place for bachelors without any problem.

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 rooms are ok but the bathrooom is too small.it has only one female shower and toalet per floor.The rooms are turn to the street so you can not open the window as it is very very very noisy.Center of the city is very near.
