Located in Hospental, 2.7 miles from Devils Bridge, Gasthaus Pension zum Turm provides accommodations with a garden, free private parking and a restaurant.

Hosts Maika and Walter were very friendly and spoke excellent English. Breakfast was punctual, generous and tasty. Building was full of old world charm. Location was very near bus into Andermatt, although it stopped running at 5:30. It certainly felt more like home than a chain hotel.

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 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.

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 near entrance to St Gottard tunnel so you can beat the queues. Comfortable room (slightly low on 2nd floor but I am very tall). On site bar, restaurant. Restaurant prices expensive but it's Switzerland I guess! Food quality really good, great breakfast. Residents lounge with games and books. Will return.

    location was brilliant. and the staff were cool really likes the owner he is very pleasant. plus he has a lovely dog. I was late for dinner service and the lady still made me a sandwich so I don’t go hungry. breakfast was good too bikers: there is a safe place to park your bike at the property even though it’s shared bathroom and shower I found it was kept clean so didn’t feel like it was used by many people.

    Location is perfect just prior to the tunnel, from the North. Internet is fast and reliable. Key safe so no need to align arrival times. Fridge is convenient. Spacious for its price. Parking on its own lot across the street. Firm bed, wide and long enough. Sofa and very spacious terrace for your own. Light from two sides No mosquitos at all! Great pressure on the shower Water Boiler and instant coffee provided Power outlets near the bed: yay Comfy towels, smelling nice Thoroughly clean!
