Luzern Youth Hostel was very clean, quiet and comfortable. Breakfast was really good as well. Best of all I had the room to myself, which was unexpected as it was a dormitory. If I could be guaranteed that I would stay in hostels always. The one downside is having to pay extra for a towel

Short Review of the Hostel

The late check-in (after 9 PM) was confusing. For late check-in I was asked for my credit card and my passport data even though Hotels.com advises not to give that data. The Hostel was filled with loud kids and there were no towels.
