Barabas - Hostel

The location was very good. We didn't add food with our itinerary but they allowed us to use their kitchen and curtliries as an open kitchen. We enjoyed staying there as the surroundings were full of shops and we used our time staying there while shopping it was near the chappal bridge . Almost everything was good.

hotel is about 10 min walk from Lucern train station and in quiet and safe area. as mentioned by hotel website the rooms are quite small like cells. it is extremely tight space for 4 people with only one fan. it will be big issue in summer. Hotel should minimum make arrangement for 2 fans. bathroom was ok and beds were good but space is big issue. although value for money compared to other hotels in this area.

Beautiful location heritage property excellent pleasing host comfortable stay

We had a pleasant stay at Hotel Barabas. The hosts were extremely welcoming and warm — they made check-in smooth and were always ready to help with tips and information about Lucerne. Their friendliness really made a difference and added a personal touch to the experience. The location is absolutely perfect — just a short walk from Lucerne's main train station, the Chapel Bridge, and the lake. Being so centrally located made it very convenient to explore the city on foot, whether during the day or in the evening. The room itself was clean and had a minimalist design that reflects the hotel's unique prison theme. However, it's important to note that our room did not have any windows, which might not suit everyone. While it added to the prison-like aesthetic the hotel is known for, it can feel a bit closed off. That said, it was well-ventilated and comfortable for a short stay. Overall, this is a great place for travelers looking for something different with a central location and welcoming atmosphere. Just be sure you're comfortable with the windowless room (very small window at top) setup if you decide to book!

The room, bathroom were too small with least ventilation. It was a jail before, agreed but It’s not worth the price paid.

The host was super helping and super good in nature. The stay was good and the breakfast was very delicious. It was nice staying at Barabas.

Cozy room, accessible to public transport

Rooms don't have ac and in summers it's difficult. The fan provided was also a small table fan breakfast is very basic
