Hotel berhampiran Sarnen, Sarnen

Verena is a lovely lady, very chatty and only too happy to assist. Her house is beautifully renovated, wonderfully clean, and in a great location for exploring the local places - however as a fellow B&B owner (who regularly receives 10/10 on Booking com from my guests), I felt Verena’s guest house is best described as a “posh hostel”. She claims to have spent many years in luxury hospitality but as a guest it’s not luxurious if: 1) you have to take your dressing gown, towels, bath mat, wash bag and clothes into a shared bathroom; 2 shared bathrooms and two separate toilets for 5 bedrooms (10 people) is not luxurious. 2) you have to climb over your partner to get out of bed because the bed is jammed up against the wall on three sides, and as such you have no where to put anything during the night, no bedside table, or even a shelf above the headboard. 3) you have to go into the shared bathroom just to use the provided hairdryer. I do not understand why there isn’t one in each room. 4) you have to forgo reading your book in bed because the only (minuscule) bedside lamp is on the other side of the bed. In this modern era, and at £200 a night (even in Oct!), a shared bathroom / toilet is not acceptable (all of my rooms are ensuite); so it never even occurred to me to check that the rooms might not be ensuite at that price 😳 We stayed two nights and as such the room was tidied during our stay - but - all the towels that we had used were folded up ‘as new’ and put back on the rail amongst the unused towels. As conscientious eco friendly users we thought this an odd thing to do. We wanted to use the minimum amount of towels possible, but I had no idea what I had or hadn’t used so quite probably the whole lot would have to be washed unnecessarily after our stay, when we restricted ourselves to using just one towel each. Based on Verena’s system, keeping your towels in your room makes sense, however there is only a pretty metal stand on which to hang them up, there is not the usual radiator on which they can be hung to dry / air when damp.

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!

前台超帥哈哈謝謝burgenstock分配的對象！\（≧▽≦）/謝謝嘻嘻嘻嘻，太帥了為了他回來多住了一次哈哈哈哈哈哈 匿名了要臉！酒店超棒超棒！

The room a little worn out, an uplift would be nice. All in all, good experience, the hotel being walking distance to train and bus stops, supermarket and restaurants. Nice and kind personnel, straight forward check-in and check-out.

Location is great. Near to tram station and city centre. Room is small with little space for luggage. No wardrobes. Bathroom with glass door means no privacy for the person taking a shower. Toilet is separate from the shower stall which is too small to even hang one's clothes or towel. At least, they did install a curtain across the room to give a little privacy to the bathroom.

I was really excited to start travelling after 2 years hiatus. I chose Switzerland as I had already made plans for the a 3 weeks trip in May 2020. I had to cancel it due to the COVID-19 pandemic. I picked Alpina Hotel in Luzerne due to its great loation and affordability. It is near many eateries and other attractions. I booked 2 rooms; 338 and 339. We get to enjoy the street view and marvelled at the beautiful building opposite our rooms. I noticed that the opposite building was built in 1537 [ need to confirm this ]. The street was generally quiet except in the mornings when rubbish trucks cleared did their cleaning. The room has simple layout and mine has 2 sinks in the living area. The bed and pillows area are comfortable. The bathroom is small but all items worked well. I did not see any staff at Alpina as most of them were based at the nearby sister hotel, The Monopol, which is located about 20m away. Checking in was fast and easy and it was done at Monopol. I was grateful for all the guidance and assistance provided by the receptionist. Alpina hotel is located about 110m away from Luzerne Train Station and it was relatively easy to find. My room ; 339 is bigger than 338. All in all, I had a really great experience staying in this hotel.

This was a last minute booking for us and the price and location were really good before a day trip into Lucerne. Liked the location immediately, even in drizzling rain.We had a big balcony room overlooking the garden and lake.Very nice to arrive at after coming from Lake Maggiore and a long drive. The decor is fairly modern and it doesn't have charm as such but it was a quiet room with enough space. Buffet breakfast next morning was a bit of a highlight, especially since it was free and included! We never did get used to Swiss food prices during our trip. Easy to find and an easy drive into Lucerne next day.

Six of us stayed for two nights in three rooms and had a comfortable, if somewhat hot stay as there was no air con although there was a small table fan. The rooms were basic but, even though two were at the front, were quiet and they were clean. Breakfast was ok, good espresso from the machine. Great central location with an easy walk to the station.

The room is clean and the bed is soft n comfortable. There is a balcony that you can have some fresh air . I slept very well . Location is convenient.
