I stayed here for a business retreat with colleagues. From the outside, the hotel has the appearance of another concrete bunker, as these were put up everywhere a bit during the 70s. The concrete/retro theme is reflected in the rooms. Mine had a bare concrete wall, and the throughway to the bathroom had seen better days. However, the bar and... More

Ambience: we loved the hotel's mostly authentic 70s style. After so many boring standardised hotels interiors it was refreshing to spend a week in this brash but strangely cosy composition of concrete, colour and rustic kitsch. Le Corbusier-meets-Swiss-Crafts-Council.. Cult value there. Service: personal and genuinely friendly. Amenities: the pool is not yet built but that will round off a nice... More

This building should have never been built where it is. Rigi Kaltbad is such an idyllic small and car free place, with a gorgeous view. Once there was a charming grand hotel. Unfortunately it burned down and they replaced it 1966 with this terrible complex out of concrete and cement asbestos. Beside of the hotel it hosts the cable car... More

I stayed here as part of a Topdeck trip last year. This is truly a gem--an affordable Swiss hotel with breathtaking views and first class charm. The ride up to the hotel on "Europe's Oldest Cog Railway" is a treat in and of itself. I looked it up and it appears to be about $62 Euros/night/person here. I would figure... More

We were on a tour with Topdeck and this is where we stayed in Lucerne Switzerland for two days. The hotel is a traditional chalet with wonderful sized rooms and a 360 degree view of the Swiss Alps. The mountain was very quiet and tranquel with the sounds of cows and cowbells walking down the mountain side. The staff in... More

We spent a full week here on half board during the last week in June, and the entire experience was wonderful. The hospitality of the team at Hostellerie was second to none. The food excellent - in fact our four course evening meal each night mean't no eating during the day, after our breakfast. The room we had was at... More

We recently stayed in the Rigi Hostellerie for a weekend. Rigi is a great mountain escape and still very easy to get to. The location of the hotel is very convenient and the view just breathtaking, even from the room we were in. Don't expect top luxury, the rooms are simple, not very big but still cosy and very clean.... More

This is the real Switzerland. A brilliant hotel situated in the peace of the Rigi. This is Switzerland as you will always want to remember it. The hotel is close by the oldest mountain railway in Europe which climbs steeply through hay meadows and all around is the sound of cow bells and frequently an Alpenhorn. You literally step from...
