Berglodge Ristis, hotel in Engelberg

Located at 1,600 metres above sea level in the Brunni skiing and hiking area, opposite Mount Titlis, Berglodge Ristis is only reachable by cable car and offers ski-to-door access and an on-site...

. The play area outside and activities were so good for the kids and the views from the lodge are just very special. You won't regret going up and staying virtually on your own. Service by the staff were super nice and friendly and the place is first class.

Kunst- und Naturfreundehaus Brünig, hotel in Engelberg

Located in Lungern, 12 km from Giessbachfälle, Kunst- und Naturfreundehaus Brünig provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace.

The wooden stay was a very old town and very good. The kitchen was fully equipped and good. The only thing is it is away from the main city, but that is also good if you like to live a quiet life. We are also able to do stargazing here.

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location close to Titlis gondola. Hostel itself has parking, games/table tennis/outside area/balcony. Clean beds and washrooms, quiet in summer but well setup with breakfast and optional dinner. Really enjoyed my stay.

    Amazing staff, comfortable and spacious room for a family with a small child. Free coffee, free tea, and welcome drinks, plus you can get as much free water as you need. The concept of a shared kitchen is great and interesting, adding a unique touch to the stay. The hotel is in a great location, close to the most important activities, and the bus station is just a minute away. The staff was very friendly and accommodating.

    Lovely apartment, great location, very clean and well equipped. Key collection was easy, we didn't meet any staff, but welcoming notes and instructions very good. We loved the balcony and mountain views. Would be very happy to return for another stay.

    Breakfast was excellent. Hostel rooms very basic but perfectly fine, other than very thin walls (snorer in next room kept me awake a bit). Great location in the town. Very friendly and helpful staff.
