Pros:

Sehr tolle Lage mit Ausblick vom Fenster/Balkon aus und alles gut fussläufig erreichbar, freundliches Personal, grosszügige und schön gestaltete Lobby, geschmackvoll eingerichtetes Restaurant.

Cons:

Die Zimmereinrichtung ist im Gegensatz zur Lobby und zum Restaurant sehr in die Jahre gekommen und wirkt altbacken, der Kontrast ist etwas seltsam.
Die wunderschönen grossen Panoramafenster im Frühstückssaal und Restaurant sollten dringend geputzt werden, es ist sehr schade um die tolle Aussicht. Diese kleine Verbesserung könnte einen grossen Effekt auf das Gesamterlebnis haben.

Alt, feucht und nicht wie auf den Bildern.
Pros:

Personal war freundlich. Das Essen war gut. Dss Hotel ist nur wenige Gehminuten vom Bahnhof entfernt.

Cons:

Die Ausstattung des Zimmers war sehr alt. Die Luft im Zimmer war sehr feucht und modrig. Das Sofa war fleckenübersäät und sa aus wie ein verkommener Liebestempel. Die Fenster hatten trotz der ummittelbaren Nähe zum Wald keine Fliegengitter. Zudem sah das Zimmer überhaupt nicht aus wie auf den verwendeten Bildern der App.

Pros:

Die Lage ist wunderschön etwas ausserhalb von Engelberg und sehr ruhig. In 5 Minuten ist man zu Fuss im Dorf. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und die Ausstattung der Einzelzimmer einfach aber tiptop sauber. Sehr empfehlenswert in Bezug auf Preis und Leistung. Komme gerne wieder.

Pros:

Le lieu, la vue, les parties communes de l'hôtel,
Le calme de la chambre double
L'acceuil chaleureux du personnel de la réception

Cons:

La chambre simple :
- l'emplacement de cette chambre et son manque d'isolation phonique
- bruit incessant jusque tard dans la nuit
- accessibilité de la douche.


L'accueil et le service peu avenant au restaurant et au petit déjeûner.

Pros:

We got a room with beautiful views and a nice terrace to enjoy in rainy afternoons. The bed was comfortable. The water pressure in the shower and its temperature was excellent. The bathroom looked a bit worn out and cheap, but met our needs. We were fortunate to arrive when the heat weave was going down, because the room temperature was high and there weren't fans or a/c (we slept with the windows open, but there are no mosquito nets if that is something that bothers you). The best part was the attention service and how nice was all the staff we met.

Incredible Find
Pros:

I liked everything about this hotel. From the staff, to the location, to the facilities, to the delicious restaurant. Details: Staff goes out of their way to be sure you are happy and all your needs are taken care of. One of the few times I have been in a hotel where I thought I had special one-on-one attention. They really care! The views are incredible, and it's so nice to have a terrace off of the room to enjoy those views! The room itself is perfectly fine: clean, great linens, great bed. The restaurant was fabulous. The food was delicious and we ate on the terrace with those views. There is parking on-site for 10chf per day. Just add that into your total cost which I thought was no problem because the price of the room was very fair as well.

Cons:

I dare anybody to find something not to like. It's all good!
