Bastis Luxury Studios Central

Bastis Luxury Studios Central Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Bastis Luxury Studios Central on Baselstrasse, you immediately get that “this is exactly where I want to be” feeling. It’s one of those three-star places that punches way above its weight — honestly, the location alone makes it feel more premium than the rating suggests. The building has this clean, modern Swiss aesthetic that doesn’t try too hard, and you’re literally steps away from everything that makes Luzern special.

The Location Magic

Here’s what I love about this spot — you can walk to Lake Lucerne in about five minutes, but you’re not dealing with the tourist chaos right on the waterfront. Baselstrasse puts you in this sweet spot where you feel like you’re actually in the city, not just visiting it. The train station is close enough that you don’t need to stress about connections, and there are these great little cafes and shops nearby that locals actually use. You know what I mean? It’s that perfect balance where you’re central but not overwhelmed.

The Studios Themselves

The room I stayed in was honestly better than I expected — these studios are set up for people who want more than just a bed to crash in. There’s actual space to spread out, and the kitchenette is surprisingly functional if you want to grab groceries from the Coop down the street and make breakfast. The design is clean and minimalist in that Swiss way, with good lighting and windows that actually open (which, trust me, matters more than you think). Everything feels fresh and well-maintained, like someone actually cares about the details.

What Makes It Work for Couples

I can totally see why couples rate this place so highly — there’s something about having your own little studio that makes a trip feel more intimate and less like you’re just passing through. You can actually relax here, maybe pick up some wine and cheese from the market and have a proper evening in before heading out to explore. The setup gives you that “temporary locals” vibe rather than the typical hotel experience. Plus, when you’re wandering around Luzern’s old town or taking that classic lake cruise, you know you’re coming back to a space that feels like yours.

Why Guests Love It

What really sets this place apart is how it nails the fundamentals without any fuss. You’re not paying for amenities you won’t use — instead, you’re getting a great location, comfortable space, and the freedom to experience Luzern on your own terms. The fact that recent guests keep highlighting the location tells you everything you need to know. Sometimes the best travel experiences come from places that just get out of your way and let the destination shine, and that’s exactly what Bastis does.

Lucerne hotels keep guests close to Pilatus cable cars, boutique chocolatiers, and steamer departures to Rigi.
