Hotels near Engelberg Fuerenalp, Engelberg

Thank you for a wonderful stay at your charming hotel. We arrived with reservations to an engleberg hotel in Germany! Yet the kind staff were able to accommodate us even though the hotel was very full. We enjoyed the use of the children’s playroom where our 2 year old granddaughter had lots of fun on one rainy afternoon. Our room was clean and spacious with a comfy bed and a delicious breakfast. We had to mail the room key back to them when we realized on the train to Murren that we had not returned it when we checked out! We are usually much better guests than that. I guess it was time to head home and stop traveling!

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.

Die Lage des Hotels, mit der Aussicht und Panorama sind im Winter einfach wundervoll. Kurze Wege zu allen Aktivitäten. Im Hotel ist es gemütlich und lègere, nicht zu gross und gibt eine gewisse Persönlichkeit. Die Freundlichkeit des Servicepersonals in den Restaurants ist fantastisch. Danke dafür. Die Qualität der Speisen ebenfalls toll. Dass man an der Rezeption ungefragt mit englisch bedient wird, hat uns doch etwas erstaunt. Das Spa ist toll und vielseitig, das Schwimmbad dann doch etwas zu klein für die Anzahl Gästen in den Stosszeiten nach dem Skifahren. Aber eine absolute Empfehlung und jederzeit gerne wieder.

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!

I tried to get to 4 out of 5, but need to be honest. The hotel isnt responsible for the view and the view makes up for a lot of negatives in the hotel. Check in was friendly and quick and we had the key to our room on the 4th floor no more than 5 minutes after we arrived. Parking was a bit of a search because we arrived on a sunday during lunchtime and apparently this is a popular time to have lunch at that hotel. The room we got is on the 4th floor and is a standard room with lakeview. The room is very tiny! Washbasin is in the room and the shower and toilet are separate but really tiny space too! If you are with 2 and you have your luggage then the room is completely filled up and no space to store anything. There is a ventilator, but no airconditioning. But thats OK. we could open the window and the fresh breeze over the lake came into the room. But also the mosquitos! So maybe they can place some mosquito net in front of the window? There is a watercooker in the room, but with a very short powercord, so the only place where we could use it was on the washbasin, but that was not very stable. The bed was not comfy, hard and the pillows are non existent. The wifi was good and fast! Then breakfast. It was a ”buffet”, but it was very limited. Some bread you need to cut yourself, thats OK, but with Covid? And the rest was just some cheeses and meats, some sweet things and thats it. Coffee was from a machine and juice from a tap. It was ok, but not really memorable. We didnt have dinner here because we read some reviews and watched what other guests ordered and compared prices and we decided not to do it. Check out was not really check out, it was just paying the bill and thats it. The desk agent didnt ask how our stay was or wasn't interested at all. So all in all too much things I dont like about a hotel at this price level. The views and location is priceless thats true. But it was like that the hotel is managed without passion. Thats a bit sad.

We had one night here en route to the south, but would like to come back and explore the area further. We thought that the room rate and breakfast were excellent value, particularly for Switzerland. The hotel has been well maintained to a good 4 star level (it's a 5 star review, but for a 4 star hotel). Nice, old fashioned decor (1890s Belle Epoque meets 1980s), lovely people at reception, a grand room for the restaurant (not used) and for breakfast) and very comfortable beds. We will return!

What a wonferful hotel and friendly staff. They really did the extra step to make us feel very welcome and at home. The room was clean, nice and what a fabulous view, we did not want to close the curtains. The little extra details really made a difference, the coffiee machine in the room, the little light that went off during the night if you stepped out of bed etc. Breakfast was good and the food as well. We will come back
