Chalet-Hotel Lodge - Swiss-Chalet Merlischachen

I stayed here for two nights in a room equipped only with a wash basin. The Trip.com listing failed to mention such room type, despite a nightly rate of 150 USD, the hotel offers no private toilet or bathroom. It felt like a classic bait-and-switch. The walls are paper-thin, and the old wooden floors creak constantly—day and night—as guests queue to use the single shared toilet on each floor. I ended up skipping showers entirely during my stay. At this price point, I’m unlikely to return. It’s not a hotel in any meaningful sense, but rather a guesthouse or hostel disguised by premium pricing that masks its true nature. The only positive thing out of my stay is the politeness of the Receptionist and the nature around it including a Village style train station up the hills. No Uber here!!

Beautiful hotel near Luzern. Private beach to the lake is gorgeous with an amazing panoramic view.

Is very unique, but to get to is very hard to get to from the train stop is a steep road and its just very hard with luggage. The area is beautiful. And the staff is not very friendly or helpful.

Simple accommodation The room we had was more like a hostel with shared toilet and shower. It had a sink and was a reasonable size but the beds were very small and not comfortable. Breakfast was not included but available (pretty expensive). There is a wonderful small grocery store adjacent which we made use of.

The building was quaint and charming, beautiful views. The transportation system is convenient and free. Thats where the positive ends
