Convenient location, 11 min walk from the lucerne train station. Got shops and groceries nearby.
Got some history there as it's an ex prison. Quite fun to live in.

It's a unique experience to stay in a hotel that was previously a prison. The room we had is quite tight for us 3. The breakfast selection is okay.

It's a prison converted hotel, more like a hostel. Location is great, 10 minute's walk from train station. The room is very small, although our room has the toilet. Two suitcases cannot left open at same time.The luggage storage room near the entrance is unlocked, and not kept attended, and my suitcase belt was stolen in a few hours.

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

Convenient location and amenities. The room is small and not a lot of space for large bags but that’s to be expected. Overall cool experience!
