I don't need a lot of space when travelling alone; Hotel Sonne suited me just fine, but there…read morewasn't space for practicing dance moves. I was planning a fairly cheap weekend of snowboarding, but all the Brunni and Einsiedeln ski dorms were full for the weekend, so I grabbed a one-person room at the Sonne. The room was tiny, the TV was tiny, the in-room bathroom was tiny (no door, just a Wild West-style swinging divider)... but it was all clean, and cheap, and quiet, and smoke-free. Breakfast was quite pleasant; 5-minute eggs, Bircher Müsli very heavy on the nuts, bread, jam, and cheese. The server did turn on the radio to static and leave the room without noticing, but they were happy to shut off the white noise when I pointed it out. The ground-floor pizzeria was closed for remodeling (new pizza oven) when I visited, can't comment on that. The WLAN is free, but I never managed to get my Android phone to connect to it properly. I've had similar issues in other hotels, so I suspect an issue with a particular brand of access point, rather than something broken at the Sonne.

There is a dance floor at the bottom level that is really fun. They also have a pool but it is not included in your stay. You have to pay. We got dressed to go swimming and we were about to pay with euros when the lady said they only accept Swiss francs. We didn't have any since we just barely got to Switzerland. We asked if she would exchange our euros for Swiss francs. She wouldn't. She wasn't that friendly. It was very disappointing.

Nice hotel. A bit remote- but that can be nice. You can hear cow bells and roosters in the…read moremorning from your balcony. No elevator- but a nice big parking lot for buses. Furniture was very country- swiss and comfortable. Wifi was not good. Food is mediocre, but there is a nice bar area outside. The swimming pool was drained when we were there, but looked nice, and there are tennis courts (clay). We were here with an EF tour and high school students. We were touring Lucerne. Not much surrounds this hotel- but again, it's quite rustic and lovely. I thoroughly enjoyed the drive from Lucerne (though I wasn't driving those narrow mountain roads, either.)
