cheap, nice and well situated
by ptitetoile about Lausanne GuestHouse and Backpacker
The guesthouse is a kind of youth hostel...but a little bit more cosy and nice...you can feel there a little bit more at home! The decoration of the hall is really nice, the kitchen is large en well equiped (pans in all size (etc) are at your disposal! The garden with nice roses is a very nice place to take breakfast! The rooms are clean and nice, and your room is on the upper floors (2 to 5, I think) you can enjoy a very nice view on the Lake of Geneva! Just a warning : there is sometimes too much noise, not because the station is so close but because the visitors are often young and like to have fun, sometimes at any time...so you better have to have a very deep sleep.... great view, cheap, well situated (next to the railway station) 15/20 minutes by foot from the beach
Neat place for the budget traveller

Paid about 30 francs (22$), had the chance to get a 4-bedded room all for myself and a friend of mine. Breakfast not included, though, and sheets aren't included either (that's a couple of dollars more).
The place is clean and well-kept and the personal is nice. There?s a garden (haven?t really used it, as it was only a short stay) where you can eat and laze around, and internet access - should you need to check something online. The place in itself is quiet, except it?s right across the station so, yes, you do get trains instead. Well, at least you can count them as a replacement for sheep.
Can't speak about the kitchen because I haven't used it, but it's there, somewhere, and there are also drink and food distributors.
If you get there by car, the hostel has its own locked places, just ask and you can park there.
At any rate, if I didn't have an apartment already, I'd certainly go there again ! Dorms are in fact only 4-bedded rooms, the rest are doubles or singles.
Located near the station, so if anyone has to catch a train at some weird time of the day it's easy to reach it.

Try Backpackers Luzern. I've never stayed there myself, but my wife and sister-in-law did about 4 years ago. They both speak quite highly of it. The website says a double room costs 35 Swiss Francs per night (roughly US$29 or 22 Euros). Address is Alpenquai 42. Telephone is +41 41 360 0420. Website is www.backpackerslucerne.ch .

Oops, sorry... the price I quoted is per person. So a double room is 70 Swiss Francs (roughly US$58 or 44 Euros).

hi,
I've just come back from Lucerne and I loked it so much!
I stayed in a B&B 10 min far from the center, in a village called Dierikon. I payed 70 CHF per day per person in a double room with privat toilet. Owners are very kind and speak english and german for sure, perhaps also some other language.
The location and the house are great, here you can find some information:
