I stayed in this hotel for 3 nights this winter, together with my work team. We had our group…read moreretreat here. Schweitzerhof is located right next to the train station in Engelberg, which makes it a very convenient destination for tourists. Across the street from it there are couple of bars and restaurants, as well as a Mammut sports and rental centre. The rooms are spacious, clean and very nice. The bathroom was also big and quite modern. The staff at the reception was polite and helpful: in the last day they let us use their lobby for many hours (we were a large group, so we were literally taking up all the space in their lobby) and even served us some fruits. Very important to mention is that the food we had at their restaurant was great: not only very tasty, but also attractively arranged on the plate. And they have a separate Cheese room, where they only serve fondue and raclette in a traditional atmosphere. You cannot leave Engelberg without having the traditional fondue pot and that's one of the nicest and well priced places to have it! For the hotel however, be prepared to empty your pockets, as you can easily spend around 200 chf/night. But it's worth pampering / being pampered every once in a while, isn't it? :)

The buffet breakfast at the pavilion was above average, with a nice selection of local meats, cheeses, fresh juices, homemade breads and even sparkling wine. I can't speak to other meals at the hotel since we dined out for other meals and only spent two days there. Our primary complaint was that the room wasn't available for the early checkin, despite pre-requesting same through virtuoso. When we planned our trip we were unaware that we would be visiting during carnal all, and nothing could have prepared us for the craziness! It was like Mardi Gras on speed, with insane costumes and people of all ages singing, dancing, playing music, eating and drinking in the streets. There as even a party on Saturday night in the lobby, lobby bar, and ballroom of the hotel that went until 4 am. What a blast!!

We stayed at Hotel Waldegg when visiting the tourist village of Lucerne and to take the trek up to…read morethe nearby Mt. Titlis. This hotel is dated, but rest assured, it is very clean. I think a good word to sum up this hotel is "retro". My favorite part was probably the retro elevator. It was literally an elevator probably dating back to the 1940's or '50s. The elevator didn't have doors, and you had to close the outer door by hand. My wife thought it was absolutely adorable. The door locks were also pretty low-tech too--no key cards, just a very large and heavy key (to my dismay). The room was very clean, but with torn carpet and an old CRT television. My favorite part of the hotel had to be the amazing view of the mountains from our balcony, and the crisp mountain air. There was no air conditioning inside the hotel room at all. But with all the comfortable temperatures, it really wasn't needed. The breakfast was VERY generic--yogurt, cereal, bread, juice....The usual. But as I came to figure out, all European breakfasts seem to always have the same items. Overall, a typical mountain top lodge, but still clean and comfortable.

The BEST part for me was the view from my window and the feeling of being nestled in the majestic mountains. Waking up to cowbells is so refreshing...

This charming little house is beautifully decorated, and with personal care. When I entered, I immediately felt peace and comfort, not to mention the amazing view. The rooms were spotless and homey. The breakfast was fresh and traditional, giving me the feeling of a well rounded Swiss experience. Susanna and the rest of the staff worked tirelessly to ensure that we had a memorable stay. It brought me to tears when we had to leave for our next location, because hotel Cathrin has stolen my heart. My friends and I agree that it was the highlight of our whole trip.

First off, the rooms are extremely pretty and cozy. Ours had a balcony and you could see the mountains in the distance. It was gorgeous, especially during sunrise! The staff was always friendly and had great recommendations. The breakfast here was AMAZING! Fresh breads, juices, colored eggs, spreads, cheeses, croissants, etc.. They don't use pillows here which is strange. It's a just a blanket folded over. Also, there aren't many plugs in the room so I ended up charging items in the bathroom. They seem to close the lodge at around 11pm, so if you're planning on staying out after that time, you definitely should take your key.

Nobody from the hotel staff made any effort to quiet these kids who were literally running the hallways and playing football. It is a creaky old place, so it's not like the staff couldn't hear them. Also, as I was drifting off to sleep amidst the noise, I heard the kids discovering something quite disturbingall the keys work on all the doors!!! What?! So they were running room to room knocking and then opening the doors to every room on the hallway. Now, granted I could have misheard this. But I also recall reading another review somewhere that pointed this out. Anyways, it's Switzerland so I figure even the poorest thief wouldnt be interested in my meager possessions. So I hid my Victorian doily collection under the bed and went about my business. The communal bathrooms could be better. The showers are private but there is a window to the outside there with no curtains and the room is small enough to force you to stand in front of the window naked while getting into the shower. *This could be considered a bonus for some people. Breakfast was nicely done, although I did have to wait for the teenagers to finish before going in there as I didn't want to be around the noise. Internet is EXPENSIVE not just here, but in the whole town. It is a cruel joke and don't think you'll get your ICQ client working on those weird kiosks, either. The view from my room was amazing. So all in all, if you are keeping it tight moneywise this might be your place. Despite my complaints above, I personally didn't find it that bad. But others might, so I gotta be thorough. Oh speaking of which, there was no electricity in my room when I woke up on the last morning.
