    had an amazing, memorable stay at Young Backpackers Homestay. The breathtaking view, spotless house, high-tech amenities, and thoughtful host exceeded my expectations. The comfortable bed, strong Wi-Fi, and great kitchen/living space added to the overall experience. Definitely a Swiss gem worth choosing again.

    The location of the homestay is quite convenient, situated in a residential area but still close to the city center. the neighborhood is safe and peaceful. the rooms are clean and well-equipped, with a beautiful view of the city from the windows. the host is friendly and welcoming, giving a sense of home. the services provided, such as breakfast and express coffee, add to the overall positive experience.

    The bus frequency may not be very frequent, which can be inconvenient for those who rely on public transportation.

    The view from the living room and terrace was absolutely stunning, it took my breath away. The host, Rainer, was incredibly accommodating and went above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay. The hostel had a welcoming and relaxed vibe, making it easy to feel at home. The beds were comfortable and the lockers were a good size. The Wi-Fi was strong and the recently renovated bathrooms were great. The kitchen and living space were spacious and well-equipped. Breakfast and other food options were available for a small fee.

    I loved my stay at this homestay! The view from the living room and bedroom was absolutely beautiful. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The fully equipped kitchen was a great bonus. The location in a residential area was perfect - it felt safe and was easily accessible by transportation. everything was clean and well managed, making it a fantastic place to stay.

    Nothing, it is perfect.

    We had a fantastic stay at this homestay. the location is great, situated in a good neighborhood that is both centrally located and in a peaceful residential area. the rooms are spacious and comfortable, and the bathrooms are well-designed with large mirrors. the host, Rainer, is incredibly friendly and helpful, providing clear instructions and answering any questions we had. the breakfast offered is decent, and the highlight of the homestay is definitely the breathtaking view of the lake and mountains from the living room.

    One small downside is that the electric kettle was found to be dirty with milk froth.

    The shared room at Young Backpackers Homestay has an amazing view of the alps and city. It's absolutely breathtaking, and as a budget traveler, it's a dream come true!

    Personally, I found the shared bathroom to be a little inconvenient, but some may not mind.

    I got so much value for my money at this place! The room was fantastic and had a breathtaking view of the mountains and lake. The staff treated me like family and the location was perfect for exploring.

    The breakfast experience could have been improved with a wider variety of options.

    I had a girls room and felt safe and comfortable throughout my stay. The kitchen was well-equipped and I enjoyed the freedom to cook my own meals. The location was beautiful with stunning views. The staff were friendly and helpful. I had a great experience at Young Backpackers Homestay.

    One night, there was a man who sneaked into the girls' room. It was a safety concern and made me feel unsettled.

    stayed here last year, but this time was even better! Young Backpackers Homestay exceeded expectations with breathtaking views, friendly staff, and a vibrant atmosphere. Loved chilling on the balcony and mingling with fellow travelers. Perfect location for exploring and visiting Mount Pilatus. Can't wait to come back!

    the host, Rainer, was extremely helpful and passionate about the place. the house had stunning views and the design was impressive. I appreciated the convenience of having access to a washer and dryer for a small fee. Rainer provided clear instructions and the location of the house was easily accessible from Luzern Bahnhof. the toilet was spacious and well-designed, with a large mirror that doubled as a clothes rack. the homestay was clean, cozy, and had amazing views from the rooms and living room. I would definitely stay here again if I return to Lucerne. Cons: Nothing, everything was excellent. 👍.

    Stayed in a hostel with a patio, fireplace, and dishwasher - quite posh, I must say. Met some lively young people and enjoyed the activities. Definitely not your typical backpacker experience.

    Loved absolutely everything, couldn't find a single thing to complain about. Such a disappointment, really.

    The host, Rainer, provides a detailed arrival guideline and offers a friendly and helpful staff. The dorms are comfortable and the house has an amazing view. The place is generally clean and guests can use the kitchen and common areas without any issues. Towels and lockers are provided for free, and there is a laundry machine available at a reasonable price. The location is easily accessible by bus, and the bus ride is free if you rent a room. it is a great option for backpackers and offers a good experience for solo travelers or small groups.

    Felt like a true getaway, no complaints at all.

    Absolutely stunning view, incredible host Rainer, welcoming and relaxed vibe, super comfy beds, great bathrooms and kitchen, strong Wi-Fi.

    The host, Rainer, was helpful and provided good instructions. The house has great views and a large, well-designed toilet. It's a perfect place for solo or small groups, with a relaxed atmosphere and the opportunity to meet people from all over the world. Walking distance from the main station, but taking the bus is recommended. The view from the house is phenomenal and the admin staff is lovely.
