Hotel Sonnenberg

“Alles wat we verlangden voor één overnachting.”

During breakfast we were served by a particularly friendly young man, Eddie, who is worth mentioning and definitely a plus for the hotel. The breakfast itself was excellent, with good coffee and a variety of egg dishes. The bathroom had an unpleasant odor (in Flemish we say it smelled like a drain), and the windows should not be opened at night because of the mosquitoes.

“Schönes Hotel mit toller Lage über einer großartigen Stadt.”

The hotel sits on the Sonnenberg, literally meaning sunshine from morning to evening, and offers a sweeping view over most of Lucerne and two parts of Lake Lucerne, with the surrounding mountains—especially Pilatus—providing an impressive backdrop. Breakfast was excellent and the staff everywhere were more than helpful. A funicular (Bähnle) runs from the hotel to Lucerne and Kriens during the day, and guests with the hotel card can ride it for free, which is great for kids. At the Kriens terminus, a 5‑minute walk brings you to the line 1 bus stop that takes you in a few minutes to Lucerne’s central station, also free with the card. We parked our car at the hotel upon arrival and used the funicular and bus to get around the city without hassle. Even after checkout, the card stayed valid, letting us leave our car at the hotel, ride to Kriens, and in about 15 minutes reach the valley station of Pilatus, where a discount applied. The cable car climbs over three stations to more than 2100 m, and from Pilatus you can see almost all of Lake Lucerne on a clear day—every franc well spent. We had nothing to complain about; not having to deal with traffic in our own car made the whole trip truly relaxed.

“Not by public transport”

The hotel sits on a beautiful, quiet hilltop with a magnificent view of Lucerne, but it’s out of the city, making public transport a real headache. A funicular from the bus stop ends at 17:00‑17:30, after which you must walk 20‑30 minutes through fields in complete darkness to reach the hotel. Rooms are spacious but very basic, lacking bathroom shelves, mosquito nets, and enough hangers for clothes, and the design feels poorly organized. Breakfast is tasty and of good quality, though the selection is small, and the reception and dining staff are friendly.

The location, services, and friendly, helpful staff were all great, just a bit of a drawback was that dinner hours were a little longer than expected.

The hotel was nice and located outside Lucerne, away from the bustle, but the toilet and shower on the corridor were bad.
