Eiger Lodge Chic
10/10 Excellent
"We had a beautiful view of the Eiger from our room. The breakfast was good and there's a grill next door for easy dining. It's less than a 5 minute walk to the train station. They provided us a free bus pass to Grindelwald town. There's a Migros supermarket and Raifeisen Bank ATM in the train station if you want cash."
"Where to start.....this is obviously a low budget hotel that caters to large tourist groups arriving by bus. The lobby and dining areas are reasonably attractive. But when you get to your room you go down a dingy hall and arrive at a grey cement stucco room. It is furnished with the cheapest furniture possible. Nothing to warm the room up in terms of any kind of color. There is no art on the walls. No rugs. My impression was that the best way to clean the room would be to simply hose it down. They are definitely nickel and diming you - you don't get even a glass to drink water out of. You get one cheap plastic glass. The duvet and pillow covers were fine but the actual bottom mattress sheet was substantially a cheaper quality. I think it was about to pill. The breakfast was disappointing. I got scrambled eggs. At least I thought they were scrambled eggs. But they were some kind of ersatz fake nightmare. So on to the fruit - the pineapple looked like it have been wheeled out for days. Everything was canned. Children were sneezing onto the food everywhere. But the surprise is that they put salad greens out. This was a first for me. To see salad greens for breakfast. Maybe I should have had salad for breakfast because the rest was unpalatable. And due to the high volume of people they were having trouble staying on top of keeping it clean. Bottom line, I would never go back to this hotel. But the people working there were very nice. This inferior hotel is way overpriced."
"It was a decent hotel for what you paid. Set your expectations accordingly and the stay is fine. However the AC struggled to keep the room cool during days of 80 degrees F"
"I made a mistake while booking and I couldn’t make it on the date of checking in. It happened to me while I booked for Cancun trip as my flight was over night so I booked extra day to make sure I can check in whenever I needed. However this hotel sold my room to other people because I didn’t come on the first day. I even used Expedia try to contact them but on the day I arrived, they said they have no room, my daughter is 1 year old and crying because she is hungry and need to change diapers. Front desk lady instead of help me, what she said was can you please control your child. Very helpful :) and until another girl come to help us, I thought I would have to rep on the street."
"Really enjoyed our 2 night stay. Hotel staff were very welcoming and helpful. The hotel itself was perfectly placed. When back in Lucerne would definitely stay here again."
"Overall okay stay. Amenities were minimal. Breakfast was good, location great and staff helpful.
A good option for a affordable stay in the area that meets your needs."
