Lake Sarnen Cheap Vacations

The property is good. I stayed in two different rooms within the same week. One room had pillows that smelled terribly of sweat (so bad I had to put one of clean t-shirts around the pillow to hide the smell--it was the actual pillow, not the pillow case). Otherwise, I liked the hotel. The only consideration is that bc they don't have anyone available in-person, it can be difficult to address anything that comes up during the stay (e.g. early check-in or like the issue with the pillows).

Nice room and convenient.

Nice big room. No view, very small window overlooking an overpass. Restaurant was closed for a private function with no prior notice. Breakfast was average. Limited choice.

Staff were extremely helpful and kind. If ever back in Zurich we will definitely stay there again!

I wish I knew the closest train was out of service before booking. I loved the hotel and the nearby walks/hikes, but it takes an hour to get to town. They have a replacement bus service (two separate buses) to the next closest station. Those buses only run from 6:20am to midnight. This is rough for some travellers. It is also hard to figure out how to get there at first. Our map took us to the bottom of the mountain at the back side instead of the front, and we had to hike up with our stuff. Avoid the tram - take the nearest train to Schweighof train station then catch the two busses near (EV1 or EV2)z Do not book this place if you have an early morning or late night planned - you will be paying too much money in taxis. Overall the location is beautiful, and we loved our stay. I just can’t stress enough how the location is quite tough for a person who is not familiar with the area and the transit. Avoid Apple & Google maps and rely on the Zurich metro website. We spent a lot of time in the hotel as it was harder to get and stay in town for long periods. If you love to come & go from town and eat out for every meal, avoid staying here. The hotel food is extremely pricy. You need to make grocery runs and take back food as there are no other close options.

Great location, friendly staff. Room was dated and very limited closet space.

Truly unforgettable stay ✨l The Dolder Grand is breathtaking in every way; property, views, amenities, and service. I’ve stayed at some of the best hotels around the world, and this one is absolute perfection. My room was upgraded, which turned an already special trip into a magical experience. Although I didn’t get to enjoy the Michelin restaurant since it was closed for a wedding, I’ll definitely be back to try it on my next visit. I also had an incredible facial at the spa that left me feeling completely refreshed. An amazing, memorable stay from start to finish. Highly recommended!

Excellent hotel, very attentive staff. Room was spacious, lovely view of the lake, with a balcony to sit out on & enjoy a drink. Half bottle of champagne and chocolates on arrival in room was a lovely surprise. Both Eden Kitchen & La Muña dinning was of a very high standard.

Everything was great except for the first day on the hotel restaurant when the lady server was impatient because it took us a while what to order because of language barrier.

An amazing experience

I liked the location and the staff was friendly. The first room they gave me was nice. Big bed, walk in shower, nice colors. However, the AC didn’t work in that room, and it was 85 degrees outside. I asked if they had another room, because this one was unbearable. They switched me to the only room that was available, which was very small, sort of depressing due to the color scheme, had a tub shower, and an old mattress and pillows that had no support. I woke up everyday with a stiff neck and back. But the AC worked, so at least I wasn’t sweating like I just ran a marathon. For what I paid for the four night stay, it definitely was not worth it.
