I really can’t recommend this hostel. There was 1 female shower and 1 toilet for 6 quadruple rooms. I had to wait to shower and wait for the toilet. Other than that, it wasn’t too bad.
It's just like a simple dorm room style facilities. Very basic. Considering the cost of living in Lusern, I should not expect too much. However, there were some camp activities for middle schoolers (?) going on on the day we stayed. Kids running around yelling knocking our room door for no reasons. There seemed no adults supervision until like 10 pm. And the kids upstairs kept on making loud noise. They finally quiet down like 11:30 pm. I am sure this only happen occasionally. I hope the administrators of this facility can look into this issue.
Amazing hostel! Everything is the best - staff, bedding, spacious dorms, guests, breakfast & dining room, spot, free bus pass, chill areas - both inside & outside, space, plus more
It is a safe area . Needs more lighting in the room

Everything was well-run and the staff were all welcoming and hospitable. The shared bathrooms and showers were in great shape and always clean. Our only “complaint” was really just a suggestion: air hand dryers in the bathrooms instead of paper towels. The paper towels were above average in quality and we appreciated that, but we felt hand dryers might be more ecological. Overall, a great value for the money and well organized.

Good place but hot during the heat season
It is a fair experience, given the cost of the hostel. It would be nicer though if they had considered putting a fan inside the rooms during heat seasons.

Booked on a Quad Room with the 2-bunk beds, shared T&B on Aug 16-19,2023.
Just very warm on summer days thus we opened the windows while on beds just to get fresh air.
Around 8mins walk to local bus stop, 8-10mins going to the Centre.
Breakfast included and good enough to start your day.
You have to pay extra for towel at €3.00 each however linens are free.
Warm Receptions a plus yet up to 7pm only.

It was my first hostel experience, and my only complaint is I did not know they had a laundry service until I left, I wish they advertised this somewhere, because I took the bus to do laundry. I also wish that they had fans for the room. Other than that the stay was perfect, and convenient
After spending my youth going through hostels, i wasnt expecting much, since prices in switzerland are generally very high, but we were very pleasantly surprised by how nice it was. Only downside is no ac in the room ans it was quite warm. But the windows openes (no screen) so it worked. Bathroom facilities were top notch.
Stayed in a private 2bd room so it seemed more like a regular hotel (compared to dorm room hostel) with shared bathroom facilities.
It was clean and although it's called Youth Hostel, there were older people and families as well (I imagine because Switzerland is expensive this is a good way to save a few bucks).
Stayed on a weekend and the noise levels were totally fine. Parking was super easy and cheap. The bus straight in to town is only about a 5 minute walk away and they give you a free bus pass as well.
