This pleasant youth hostel is in a residential area on the edge of Lucerne, but a regular bus service gets you to the centre of town in just 12 minutes. The hostel has a lounge area, a reading room, a children's corner, a billiards table and table tennis outside. Rooms are in good condition, have parquet flooring and many look out onto the garden. Apart from the good buffet breakfast, you can have lunch and evening meals in the cantine.
