Einfache, aber saubere und für Wintersportler passende Unterkunft mit freundlichem Personal.
Pros:

Personal sehr freundlich. Ruhige Lage ausserhalb des Stadtkerns. Blick vom Zimmer auf die Berge. Im Vergleich zu anderen Unterkünften günstige Unterbringung.

Cons:

Spa-Bereich nur auf individuelle Reservierung nutzbar. Dies sollte unter den Suchkriterien bei Booking angepasst werden. Der dunkle Eingangsbereich mit rauchiger Komponente.

Uns hats ganz gut gefallen!
Pros:

Von der Aussenansicht war ich nicht auf die angetroffene Qualität gefasst. Es hat uns allen sehr gefallen, obwohl an einigen Ecken und Kanten schon zu sehen war, dass es schon ein paar Jahre auf dem Buckel hat, z.B. WC's. Aber es ist alles sauber gehalten. Die Essbereiche sind wohl vor noch nicht allzu langer Zeit mit Altholz neu ausgekleidet worden und es gefällt mir. Meine Frau und die Töchter fanden es eher etwas dunkel gehalten.

Cons:

Vielleicht die Löcher in der Zufahrtsstrasse, das war aber nicht schlimm.

Sehr angenehm!
Pros:

Die schöne Aussicht über Engelberg!
Der schön gestaltete Saunabereich!

Cons:

Die Zimmer könnte man etwas modernisieren! Ein kleiner Wasserkocher, Safe und Kühlschrank im Zimmer wäre praktisch!

Fabulous hotel and staff
Pros:

Excellent hotel and truly lovely staff. Bfast was a bit limited with no hot options. The walk back to the hotel at night is very icy and tricky to navigate tbh. But a wonderful stay.

Für Kurztripp ok
Pros:

Gute Lage

Cons:

Nachts sehr lärmig da andere Gäste im Gang die Toiletten nutzen mussten
Sehr hellhörige Zimmer
Zu jedem Hotel gehören Parkplätze aber als Gast 10.- pro Nacht zu bezahlen ist eigentlich unnötig
