  Excellent 1 night stay in Luzern

  Liked: We loved that we stayed in an old jail - was a great building to stay in and the breakfast was great too. Highly recommend for an interesting stay. Location was great and within an easy walk from the station. The shower was awesome too!

  Good for one night for one person

  Liked: Licatioknis very good. All the restaurants are closers to you. The bridge is also closer to you. The train station is almost 10-12 minutes away

  Disliked: It's like a prison house,a small room with a see-through toilet. You can not share it with a friend because they can see you in the toilet and while showering. It's best if you stay one person per night. I wouldn't recommend it to couples or friends. No slippers as well

  Location is amazing, very close to the main attractions

  Liked: The rooms have enough space for 2 and are equipped with what is needed. I recommend walking around and seeing all the things kept from when it was a prison, it's very interesting. There's a supermarket right in front of the hotel.

  Disliked: Can't think of anything
