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.

The Bellpark Hostel can be found next to the Hofmatt-Bellpark Stop of bus line 1, with direct connections to Lucerne Train Station.

availability of private bathrooms ensuite. Even if I had the possibility of needing to share it with others in the room, not having to run out into the hall and wait for others is nice.

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.
