General Description: This is switzerland's initial prison hotel and was in use as a prison until autumn 1998. It is a fun, youth-orientated hotel and comes highly recommended for the budget traveller who likes to try something different. Pl0706. The exterior is in keeping with the surrounding buildings, unimposing and historical. The bars are still on the windows. Rooms are all converted cells with numerous original features such as the bars on the windows and the heavy, wooden cell doors. The doors have been converted and guests are given a code to enter the room. Facilities have been built inside the rooms in separate cubicles. Apart from this, the style is neat, yet comfortable. The rooms are very basic, as they would have been formerly, with no television or telephones. As the hotel has been fully restored to its former `glory` the rooms are in extraordinary condition, though they are small in size. It should be noted that occasionally twin rooms will simply have one bunk bed and triples a bunk bed plus add-on rollaway bed. The eatery serves a variety of dishes and doubles as a bar in the evenings. Also, there is a separate eatery serving asian food at reasonable prices. The trendy bar at the front of the hotel is very popular with the youthful persons of lucerne and, in the summer, opens out into the street. The lobby is small with the reception desk facing the door and corridors leading to the eatery and bar. Located in the elderly town in lucerne, about 10 minutes walk from the station on a relaxing side street.
