Lucerne

10/10 Excellent

We had a four bunk room (2 adults and 2 children aged 7 and 10) … room was small (compared to the Schaan Vaduz hostel) but was perfectly adequate for us. Table tennis was a hit! Great location, close to a bus stop with free travel. Great breakfast. Would definitely recommend and stay again if we’re in Lucerne.
