Excellent location near all the major travel destinations. Easy short walk to everywhere. The room is what you pay for. Small, neat, tidy, but definitely not luxurious. Very basic. If all you need is a bed to sleep in, this is the place for you.

I stayed here late February as apart of my tour, I was nervous from the beginning! And I had every right to be, its a jail! My room was so scary I couldn't even sleep at night. It was dirty and my bed felt like the same bed that was used my inmates. The only thing I liked bout this... More

We stayed here in our topdeck tour. The Door on the rooms freaked me out! It felt very claustrophobic. The bed was on the ground and the room was so small I could bairly open my case. Our room faced an office and there were no curtains.... I bet the office workers get a great view! The bathroom wasn't really... More

We stayed the weekend of the 21st Jan in this hotel. I can only agree with some of the reviews here already, The reception told us our room would be ready at 3pm so we walked around lovely Lucerne for a couple of hours and returned to the hotel. The suite was of standard quality nothing special. Apart from the... More

Overall a good experience, but hard to shake-off the weird vibe of sleeping in an old jail. The room was comfortable, but basic. We were in the handicap accessible room and it came with a large private ensuite bathroom and a "sexy" jailhouse mural on the wall. We did not have any trouble with noise from the nighclub because it... More

We stayed here as part of our contiki tour. I must say we were very impressed with the whole outlook and feel of the hotel and if not for this terrible experience with one of their staff, i would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for something different. Firstly, check in was ok. Free wifi in the tiny lobby... More

Stayed here one night as part of a group tour this past summer. The rooms are modified jail rooms (bunk beds, toilets, and bars for window). Our showers were across the hallway and we had to share it with other people as well. Since the window bars are always open we could hear the noise from outside during the night.... More

Stayed there on a tour with middle school children - they were fascinated by the atmosphere. There are exhibits of jail artifacts (plates, uniforms, restraining cuffs, etc.) to amuse them. The rooms are VERY small, and the bathroom lacks privacy, so only go there if you want a change of pace and feel adventurous. Good access to local sights and... More

Let's face it, Switzerland is bloody expensive to travel to, and this is one of the cheapest accomodations my fiance and I could find. The room was small, but we aren't that fussy. I would NOT recommend this to a family, especially a family who has anyone that they could give the title of "fussy" or "high maintenance". So if... More
