Barabas Luzern

Nice and good location. People who work here is Friendly and very accommodating too. I had a good Time in luzern in General

Location is good and the visitor card provided by the hotel is pretty useful. Recommend the Japanese restaurant right next to the hotel.

Ok for singles and friends group travel, plain small rooms with a small fan. It is an old jail converted into a hotel. Had a good nights sleep though. Staff are very friendly and helpful.

Was a very good experience for both me and my wife. The location is very close to the station. If anyone is coming from the station and taking a taxi, make sure to take an uber as normal taxis are double the price. Check-in process is very smooth, and the staff are excellent. Not sure about his name but he guy at the reception was so very kind and helpful and gave so many great tips on what to do, where to go, etc etc.. make sure to buy your pilatus tickets from the hotel as you get a 10% discount, which you would not get if you buy direct or through other apps. Rooms were clean, bed was nice and cosy, and they had some sort of a fan which was good enough for the hot weather. Overall, if we come back to Lucerne, we will stay here for sure.

We have mixed feelings about Barabas Lucerne. Pros: Love the concept of a former city jail being turned into budget accommodation (budget priced for Switzerland) Spotlessly clean Lucerne is beautiful Friendly staff Comfortable small beds Good location Cons: No ventilation in the room. One small window that was very high and closed No air-conditioning in the room Very noisy with screaming teenagers when we were there. Very small rooms Poor room design. No storage. Sharp metal corners on the beds Shower is small and awkward, but good flow of hot water. Summary Clean accommodation suited to single, budget-minded backpackers. Very Instagram-friendly. A lot more thought could have gone into the room design. Has great potential.

It was a great experience to stay here. Location not far away from Luzern train station. Just have to walk across the bridge while enjoying the Chapel Bridge. Then a bit walk along the street and shops to go to this hotel. Excellence service from the front staff. I meet 3 different staffs along the stay and all of them are very nice and helpful. They even gave the map for interesting places around Luzern. 1 lady help us to call our next hotel using her private phone. Appreciate that much. Kettle and microwave can use from Japanese restaurant under the hotel because they work together. Nice experience staying in prison room. They also have free luggage storage room. Would really recommend to stay here..
