Perfect location to relax

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Jun 3, 2019via mobile
We stayed 2 nights in what I believe was the best room in the hotel. Very large room (practically a suite) with outdoor terrace and wonderful views across Lucerne and the snow-capped mountains.

We also had a large hot tub in the spacious bathroom which we made use of and was a blessing after a long day hiking.

The area that the hotel in situated in is fantastic. Walking around the Sonnenberg is a real joy and the funicular down to Kriens is great - free to use as a guest of the hotel!

Breakfast is fresh and plentiful and the staff are courteous and professional. Easy to get to Lucerne by car, public transport or by walking (30-40 minutes).

I was very much looking forward to our stay at Sonnenberg and the experience was even better than I hoped. The rooms are clean and airy. The staff are pleasant and helpful. Parking is immediate and free. The hiking trails provide an excellent way to work up an appetite or walk off a heavy meal. The views are spectacular and ever-changing. (If you climb a few steps to the roof terrace on the incline rail station, there is a labeled panorama to orient you to the surrounding peaks.) There were morning rains during our May visit, so the terrace and playground were not being used.

Decent food and a great wine list were the gravy to a overwhelming view from Sonnenberg. Best would be to go there in warm weather so that you can enjoy the great terrace. There is ample parking space and the environment is calling for a digestion walk after lunch.

The view is breathtaking and the staff really nice. The bedrooms are confortable and very clean. As it is up in the mountains, there is no noisy! We didn’t get to know the restaurant as it closes on Mondays, but breakfast is delicious! Right next to it there is a funicular that takes you down to the city. It is worth the trip and it is free for who is staying at the hotel.

We stayed at this hotel a couple of weeks back and LOVED it; couldn't recommend it further. The room was large bright and airy, we had a balcony with stunning 360 views of Kriens, with the sweeping landscape and valleys. We did see some of the other rooms were a little smaller / without en-suites, so would definitely recommend you go for a suite (with balcony) if at all available. The grounds are fantastic, with beautiful ponies that came grazing in the morning. Truly Wonderful!!

Room tip: Always request a room with a view, en-suite and balcony if available!
