I can't stress enough how clean this place is!!! We were really not expecting much given that it was a backpackers' hotel so we were really impressed when we got there The rooms and bathrooms were spotless and we never had to wait to use the washroom. The staff were also wonderful and so friendly especially Andrea whom we adore!!!!... More

I like this hostel a lot. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I stayed at a four-bed room for one night and it was quite ok. The hostel has all the necessary facilities. The kitchen was very spacious. Wifi was good but only in the common area. The common area was very well decorated and it was very charming.... More

I stayed 3 nights at Backpackers Luzern in June, I had a private room with 2 bunk beds. The place was nice and clean, good security, friendly staff, and there was a fine internet connection which worked in my room too. It was quiet at night while I was there. The location was fine for me, as I was in... More

The hostel and staff was great but it was a good 15+ minute walk from the train station and at least 20+ minutes to old town area. Rooms and rest of hostel was clean and comfortable but the location was not ideal

Stayed here in May 2013 for a night. We took a quad room, the room is basic but clean and spacious enough to put all our luggage. Which I think is the important point for us budget conscious people, just looking for a clean and comfy place to crash for the night, especially considering that Switzerland isn't a cheap place....

If you;re traveling Switzerland, be prepared to spend some money. The place is gorgeous, friendly, expensive and worth it. Backpacker's is a rare place to save a buck. I'm here now and loving it, at half the price of a budget hotel. I know that hostels are usually for the young, but this place is different - there are all... More

The staff were very friendly, the room and the toilets were clean. The location is awesome very close to the lake side but if you want to go to the city centre and the train station you will walk about 15min. Anyway it is a good place to stay

My boyfriend and I stayed here for 4 nights in August 2012, we found staff to be very helpful and accommodating. It is set in a lovely location, right by the beautiful lake. We stayed in a private double room, with shared bathrooms. The bathrooms and showers were always clean and tidy. We were allowed into our room early, which... More
