lovely hostel. all equipped. friendly staff who will always help.all at the proper level. The hotel is issued a tourist card Lucerne, which is very convenient. Also at the hotel for a key request a pledge

a good hostel with all the amenities in the city center

I made a reservation for a single room several weeks prior to the trip and also got a confirmation for it. Check in was possible until 10.00.P.M. I arrived at about 07.45 P.M. just to find myself in front of a closed door which made me to call the number written on the paper at the door. I was then told by a male voice in broken  English that my room was already given away to someone else because I did not leave my phone number behind and they were not able to get the approval for my credit card though it worked perfectly when I got a room someplace else just a few minutes later...By the way they hat my email so they could have dropped me a short note. Well, I still found a room but it was more a matter of luck since it was a busy Saturday night. This whole handling of that issue was not only very disappointing to it also almost ruined my stay in Luzern. I would therefore not recommend this place to anybody else.  Peter 

Disapointment

As others have sayed: not a very good hostel.

The kitchen is really bad, and is missing a lot of essential utensils like gratters, cleaning brushes and cutting knives. The only thing working properly in the kitchen is the waterboiler and the micro.

The wifi doesnt work in the rooms, as expected, but it barely worked in the common area as well. The bedrooms where also really dusty.

There is only two (one men, one women) bathrooms on each floor, so prepare to stay in a shower queue, especially since the shower on the 1st floor was out of order. The bathrooms got rarely cleaned.

At least we had large lockers in our room, and its really close to the train station. Im interrailing through Europe, and all the other hostels I've stayed in have been better, which disappoints me, as I expected the Swiss to offer some standards.


Not a very good hostel

Only stay at Lion Lodge if you do not plan on sleeping - if you stay in the street facing rooms - expect traffic all night - so you can choose between sauna (as no air con) by clausing the windows or traffic noise - if really desperate and w/o alternative make sure to bring ear plugs -  but those for professionals !

Perfect for party animals

The room was small, run down, dirty and stinky. Sheets were dirty and they wanted you to change them yourself in the morning. When I came back from a pub, the door was brocken so I couldnt even sleep in the room I had booked. When I complained in the morning, I was told "Well it works now". This is by far the worst place Iv ever stayed at. Wouldnt even advice a rat to stay there.

Crappy place to stay

Took a double room which is very very small and dirty, bed sheets and blanket covers are dirty and are not changed daily.

Staff is poor, an asian (bangladesi) guy at reception was rude and unprofessional and was always bragging how he got married in Switzerland and got swiss passport, and was asking my salary and how much he has travelled europe and is making a lot of money.
Not at all helpful, when asked to change sheets daily.. he always made up stories and was reluctant, asked him about a place to eat - his response was " how much is your budget, i always eat at good hotels with my wife but may be you cannot afford it etc etc etc". Really.. every time i spoke to this guy.. it turned out a bad experience. 

The best part is the location, the city transport bus stops infront of hotel.. located on main road.
