    I don’t have anything which I don’t like about the hotel. One of my best stay in last 22 years of travel history.

    Everything about the hotel is so nice and wonderful starting from the reception specially “Rebecca” , she was so nice and humble and offered great services. The location , room and views from the balcony was excellent. Breakfast was great too

    A minor criticism but I got too many emails & messages about my stay. I nearly missed the mail with the link to our guest cards because there were so many other notifications.

    The hotel is in a quiet location but very convenient for shops, restaurants & the station. Such a friendly team at the Sonnwendhof, nothing is too much trouble & a fabulous breakfast buffet too. The rooms are spacious & comfortable. We have stayed here before & we’re happy to return

    The only suggestion that I have is providing a small fridge. Especially traveling with kids, one always carry around snacks that need to be stored appropriately.

    We have booked this place for 2 families quite spontaniously. Our stay was a pleasant experience from A-Z. I want to highlight the friendly messages before the stay, the welcome letter on the bed and the mirror, the play room for the kids, the breakfast with smilies on the eggs and the delicious croissants and the exquisite Sauna facility. The location right at the train station is a big plus too. We felt very comfortable and home at Sonnenwendehof. Oh and that I do not forget to mention: The late check out was a real treat. Thanks for this.

    It could have been a bit cheaper but at the end you pay for the quality.

    Sonnwendhof is a great place for family visit to Engelberg in summer or winter. It has everything you may possibly need: hearty breakfast (many local products - cheese, jam, honey, bread, juice, etc.), indoor playroom for small children, ski room (if you come for winter holidays), sauna (ready in 15 minutes) and relaxing room, supermarket is 8 min walking distance away, some good restaurants are just around the corner. Titlis funicular is 8 min away by foot, Brunnibahn is 1.5km away and Fürenalp is 5 km. You get Engelberg tourist card, which allows you to use a bus for free and get small discount on funiculars. All ladies working at the hotel are very friendly. We could have had an earlier check in, if we needed it. Free parking is just in front of the hotel.

    Location is super cool. Walking distance from Engelberg station. We had 4 bags but were able to comfortably reach by 5 mins walk. Ours was a mountain view and the view was amazing. Ladies at the reception are super awesome and guided us very well. Will definitely recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to enjoy Mt Titlis or Engelberg.

    The bed is comfortable but the pillows are too soft.

    I stayed 3 nights at Hotel Sonnwendhof (in the summer) and I had an amazing time and would definitely stay again. The staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful, the hotel is located perfectly for walks/hikes/different gondolas up the mountains, and the hotel was very dog friendly, making it the best stay for my pup! The breakfast was delicious with plenty of choice, there’s free parking outside the hotel, and my room was cleaned beautifully every day. I had a balcony that overlooked the mountains… perfect for a tea/coffee in the morning. The hotel offer dinner at their sister property, otherwise you’re surrounded by many other restaurants to choose from. I highly highly recommend staying at Hotel Sonnwendhof.. the value for money is excellent.

    Everything about this place!! The staff was exceptionally cordial , helpful and polite..They answered all our questions patiently. Since it is very near to the station (2mins walk) and also 5 mins walk from the MT Titlis Gondola station. The views from the rooms are brilliant. We were pleased to see personalized messages for us in the room.

    Fantastic stay. Location was terrific. Very short walk to train station, gondola to Mt. Titilis and main street. The staff was the best we have ever had and the view from balcony was beautiful. We were also able to leave our luggage there for the day before our check in time which was convenient. I highly recommend
