Set in Luzern, 2.8 km from Lucerne Station, Young Backpackers Homestay offers accommodation with a garden, private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace.

I don't have the words. This place is magnificent, wonderful, flawless, and more. If you're used to normal hostels on this platform, this place will make you feel like you landed on a different world. It's basically Airbnb but the house is just the most luxurious house I have ever seen, the views are unforgettable and the people here are...everything. I met people whom I could trust and call a friend for maybe a lifetime long. This place is different. Don't miss out!

Backpackers Luzern offers accommodation in a quiet area on the shores of Lake Lucerne. There is a shared kitchen and a common lounge area with a tabletop football table at the property.

Loved the location - right next to the lake and city beach, easy to go for a leisurely stroll. Bus stop was also a 10 minute walk away. The kitchen was amazing - fully stocked with all spices and utensils that you would need. I was initially concerned about shared toilet but they were kept clean and there were multiple per floor so availability was not an issue.

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
