Located in Engelberg, 1640 feet from the Titlis Rotair Cable Car, Engelberg Youth Hostel features a buffet restaurant and a summer terrace.

The hostel is located close to the Engelberg center. Everything is reachable by foot. The facilities were super clean. The dinner menu was very good value for Switzerland and breakfast had a large variety of food. I would definetely stay there again. Lockers are big enough, except for huge suitcases.

Featuring a shared lounge, Hostel Engelberg "mein Trail Hostel" is located in Engelberg in the Obwalden region, a 15-minute walk from Titlis Rotair Cable Car and 22 miles from Lucerne Train Station.

Very friendly family that runs the hotel/hostel. Because it was still low season we got a free upgrade to a better room which is always a nice surprise. The room was very comfortable and the location is fantastic. There is also a lovely little common area where you can watch TV and enjoy a free selection of teas.

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.

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travelers know there's 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 little 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.
