Hotels Near Lake Lungern in Lungern

Very warm welcome. The hotel corresponds to the description and pictures. Beautiful, clean room and bathroom. A large and comfortable bed and the requested ergonomic extra pillow was also there. For my dog, there was a dog bed, water bowl, and a welcome treat. And there was even an extra door tag that there was a dog in the room. Very convenient if you want to leave the dog in the room for a short time. The breakfast buffet offers a wide selection from scrambled eggs and bacon to cold cuts, salmon and various cheeses, fresh fruit salad and freshly squeezed orange juice, just to name a few, because there was so much more. I would especially like to mention the exceptionally attentive staff at breakfast who, after telling them my room number, presented me with a variety of choices of lactose-free and plant-based milk and yogurt - a preference I could also choose before arrival. Overall, an exceptional stay and highly recommended!

The location of the hotel, with the view and panoramic views are just wonderful in winter. Short ways to all activities. In the hotel it is cozy and lighter, not too large and gives a certain personality. The friendliness of the service staff in the restaurants is fantastic. Thanks for it. The quality of the food is also great. The fact that you are served in the reception with English unquestionably has surprised us. The spa is great and versatile, the swimming pool is a little too small for the number of guests in the time of shot after skiing. But a absolute recommendation and always like to be back.

We found this to be a nice hotel and good value for the time of year. The hotel itself is very historical, and served as a hotel for hundreds of years, establishing as a place for religious pilgrims to go. The patron saint of Switzerland is buried at the church next-door. The hotel isn't fancy, and you do self-check in. It worked pretty well, and folks at the bar/restaurant will help if you are stuck - people working at the hotel are friendly and helpful. There is a decent elevator (which is not a given in Europe) and the included breakfast is reasonable. We had a junior suite for our party of 3, and it was basic but nicely appointed. Only problem is that the pull out couch was super uncomfortable, so my daughter just slept on it as a couch. There is no air conditioning, which isn't a problem most of the time, I'm sure. We had dinner at the restaurant downstairs one night and it was fantastic! Both food and service were outstanding, and a great find in a small town like Sachseln. We liked basing in Sachseln - all of the charm of Lucerne without the crowds and high prices, and close to places like Interlaken, Lauterbrunnen, and Grindlewald. One more warning: the church next door has bells ringing a lot. Our junior suite didn't have a lake view and I am glad because lake view would have been directly by the church so the bells would have been louder!

The good: The scenery and setting! The views are unbeatable. They are even more beautiful than in the photos; they're jaw-droppingly breathtaking. And the grounds surrounding the hotel are equally lovely. The waterfall is gorgeous, and the funicular is a fun way to go down to the lake where the boat will await you. The bad: The rooms and the flies. The room was dated without modern facilities. I think we may have only had 2 or 3 outlets in the entire suite, no air conditioning, and the shower was 3' x 3' at most. Probably less. One has to be flexible to fully bathe in the cramped space. And forget about shaving your legs unless you're a gymnast. Then there were the flies. We had dinner at the restaurant, where we were put in the back corner though there were many free tables in better locations that were never sat. We were next to a mirror that seemed to be a meeting place for the country's flies. At any given time, we were besieged by anywhere between 8 and 20 flies. The meal itself was expensive and mediocre, but when you add swarms of flies to the mix, it ended up being revolting. Breakfast was the same. It was a fly-riddled buffet with most items left out in the open for them to feast on. The ugly: The service was abominable. There were exceptions, like one server at the bar and a helpful valet, but most were at best indifferent and at worst downright rude and condescending--particularly the front desk staff. One of many examples: we tried connecting to wi-fi but we never got the code. When we asked the front desk for help, he simply said we should have an email with the code if it wasn't working. Without wi-fi, we can't access email. After explaining this, he VERY begrudgingly gave it to us as if we were asking for something totally unreasonable and he was really being put out by it. Interestingly, they were also somewhat incompetent. You'd think with their attitude of superiority that they'd at least be on top of their game, but no. It took me four tries and two days to get laundry service for one clothing item, and even then, it only happened after we walked it down and gave it to them ourselves having given up on their actually coming to get it as promised. Likewise, when I asked at the bar what was in the hotel's special version of the Moscow Mule (I forget the name), the bartender said ”orange and I'm not sure what else. ” He then told me a gentlemen at a table near us ordered one so why didn't we go ask him. Um, really? Not to mention, they were completely unhelpful and gave us zero check-in information on room, hotel, or anything at all throughout our stay. The bottom line: I do not recommend staying here. I would absolutely visit for the views (maybe for a drink, lunch, or a hike), but the stay is not worth the rude treatment, dingy rooms, and contingent of flies.

I have the pleasure of reviewing the Youth hostel in Engelberg, which I had the opportunity to visit during a school trip. Unfortunately, I have to note that the rooms were filled with an unpleasant fragrance, the wifi was out of service and I found it deeply disgusting that the duvets and pillows were not washed but were covered only by pillowcases of dubious hygiene. In pushing the duvet cover aside, I spotted a strangely colored stain that seemed to be an affirmation of lack of attention to cleaning, so I decided to sleep without it. Unfortunately, the smell forced us to keep the windows open during the night, making the experience even less comfortable. The quality of the food did not meet expectations, especially the meat consumed by me and my roommates caused us intestinal discomfort. The only positive aspect of the Youth hostel in Engelberg is represented by the view of the landscape that can be admired from the windows. In conclusion, I do not recommend this accommodation to anyone, as there are certainly far better alternatives.

Located right in the epicenter of Engelberg and practically 150m from the train station. Arrival was extremely welcoming by a young lady who not only was professional but also made sure all is in place. We stayed three nights and the room was very confortable and clean. Special credit to the pet friendlyness as we travel with a small dog. The downsides were related to the F&B section : The bartender at the bar was unattentive. Also the service attitude at breakfast left some wide space for improvement even though the breakfast itself was very good with a wide selection of things available. From one positive extreme to another left us with mixed feelings. The Regina Titlis (Now H+ Hotel) used to be the best place in town but unfortunately no longer.

Looking for a relaxing break in the Swiss Alos, close to the slopes, I found this little gem: a hotel, pretty rustique in the traditional Swiss way! Not far from the heart of Engelberg but far enough to contemplate the sky, see the stars and hear only the heartbeat of nature. Clean, very very clean, with comfortable rooms, not big, just comfy, most with a balcony overviewing the village. Staff, super nice and polite, ready to help and advise: had a 10% discount in my ski rental and anytime I wanted to go skiing they got in the minivan and took me to the resort! The restaurant was also nice, with delicious dishes and a savvy wine list. Not to miss! Only point I would like to note, the breakfast buffet: every day the same, not always fresh fruits available. Would like some variety and some chocolate croissants, please! Overall, a must go!

The worst experience. They never mention anywhere that in the snowy season the only way to get to the hotel is by gondola. Our train arrived at grindelwald at 4.18 and there was no gondola service anymore because they run out at 4 pm. We couldn't get to the hotel anymore, we contacted the staff and they didn't care, we lost the reservation, they didn't give us anything back, not even a miserable courtesy breakfast. We let ourselves be carried away by some comments where it says that it has beautiful views but the way to get there is terrible, if you don't get on the gondola before 4 pm there is no way and you can't go down to town either. I do not recommend it at all. Ay The end we stayed at the derby hotel because there was no other place and that was great, everyone was very friendly, the room was excellent, it was right next to the station, I would return 100 times more with them.
