Featuring a shared lounge, Hostel Engelberg is set in Engelberg in the Obwalden region, 1.3 km from Titlis Rotair Cable Car and 36 km from Lucerne Station. The property is situated 36 km from KKL Culture and Convention Centre Lucerne, 36 km from Chapel Bridge and 37 km from Lion Monument. Private parking is available on site.

Hostel Engelberg was a great place to stay with kids. Great breakfast, great restaurant downstairs, great view of the mountains when you can see them through the clouds. Could not be more central. The owners are so friendly you could not ask for a better stay. Price to value of Hostel Engelberg cannot be beat in Switzerland - at least the parts that I have seen.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit more.

    The hostel is family friendly. Little kids have space to relax and enjoy their stay as well. The kitchen made it more comfortable for families traveling with children. Location is great, just next to the train station, but it was quiet enough in the room, not to hear any traffic at night. The staff are friendly and responsive to requests and questions.

    Breakfast was excellent. Hostel rooms very basic but perfectly fine, other than very thin walls (snorer in next room kept me awake a bit). Great location in the town. Very friendly and helpful staff.
