The Bellpark Hostel can be found next to the Hofmatt-Bellpark Stop of bus line 1, with direct connections to Lucerne Train Station. You can take advantage of the shared kitchen and lounge, free WiFi and internet stations, and paid private parking.

A good, basic hostel. Situated a few km from the center but bus stops right in front of the hostel and you get a free ticket during your whole stay. A big, well equipped kitchen which was kept clean, and private parking in front of the building. Staff was super friendly.

This modern hostel is situated in Lucerne, 2 km away from the train station and the city centre. It offers a cosy lounge with TV and a library with reading corner. Guests receive a free public transport ticket for the duration of their stay upon check-in.

The hostel is amazing! One of the best that I’ve ever been. The staff was very friendly, in special Carlos, who served us dinner late in the night because there wasn’t anything open. The room is simple but comfortable and clean. The toilets and showers were clean and organised. The breakfast was amazing!!

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.

    Genuinely one of the best hostels I've ever stayed at. Extremely comfortable beds with plenty of space and privacy as they are within personal pods, which were very nice. The Peter Pan vibe/theme of the hostel was very fun and imaginative. Clean bathrooms and showers that included shampoo & body wash. Nice common area to do work which included a bar for tasty food, drinks, and coffee. Friendly and helpful staff. Easy self check-in & check-out.

    Nice , clean place with basic facilities to be used as an economy hotel. At reception, they have vending machines, water, microwave etc which Imagine is quite helpful. We had a triple room with one bunk bed.. it was cozy. Room size and bathroom size are small but this is expected given it is a budget hotel.

    Very friendly staff, they allowed us to leave our bags in the hostel safely during the day even after check-out and even lent us two umbrellas for the day (rain was expected). Exceptional cleanliness and great location, great value for money.

    Probably the best hostel I’ve ever stayed in.😊 The staff were super friendly and accommodating, everything was very tidy, clean and so well furnished. The kitchen was always spotless with all the utensils you could ask for and the toilet/showering facilities were amazing! A 15-minute walk to the train station meant it was also a great location 😊

    The house is stunning, the view are out of this world! The Rainer has set up the house is perfect, its the best hostel I have stayed so far. Rainer is a dedicated and friendly host, so attentive. He really makes everyone welcome and is so friendly. He makes the experience so much more enjoyable. As a female solo traveller I felt so safe. I will certainly come back and recommend to all
