Backpackers Luzern, hotel in Sarnen

Backpackers Luzern offers accommodations in a quiet area on the shores of Lake Lucerne. There is a shared kitchen and a common lounge area with a tabletop football table at the property.

Comfortable and inviting space with very helpful staff. They even let us check in early as there was a room ready. We enjoyed using the kitchen and being close to the water/public transportation.

Kunst- und Naturfreundehaus Brünig, hotel in Sarnen

Located in Lungern, 7.5 miles from Giessbachfälle, Kunst- und Naturfreundehaus Brünig provides accommodations with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace.

Value stay in a very expensive country right off the train stop. Booked last minute and was greeted without problems and given instructions on where my room was. Lovely 2 bed room so we did not have to share a room with others. Only shared bathroom facilities down the hall, which is more than fine. A lovely dining area is available to purchase coffee and breakfast if you please.
