Angenehmes Ambiente, schöne Einrichtung, sehr nettes Personal, sehr gutes Essen, renovierte Zimmer, qualitativ hochstehende Betten, exzellente Sauberkeit, reichhaltiges Frühstücksbuffet, tolle Lage
Nichts
the location was the best ,the views from our room were picture perfect. we woke to the sight of Mt. Pilatus every morning. not to mention the sunsets...Wow The Restaurant meals were wonderful. Breakfast was ok. The room was lovely, a comfy bed and a small balcony.
If anything ,maybe a better breakfast. there wasn't much not to like.
Amazing dinner service, location and hotel. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!
Beautiful place with amazing restaurant! Be aware that it take 20 minutes from town but beautiful ride! Love the place and the workers.
Rustikales, heimeliges Hotel. Sauber, Doppelbett sehr bequem. Unkompliziertes Self Check-In, da wir spät anreisten. Sehr feines Frühstück. Freundliches Personal.
Eigenes Dusche/WC gegenüber des Zimmers, man musste das Zimmer verlassen. Ein Bademantel wär noch gut... Dafür stolzer Preis.
The hotel and the surrounding area will forever be in my memory. I hope to go back and share it with others. The only thing better than the hotel and views…the amazing staff!!!
l'emplacement avec vue sur les montagnes, l'aspect chalet, la grande terrasse. jolies chambres avec petit balcon, il n'y avait pas de télévision dans les deux chambres louées, du vrai repos! De nombreux sentiers de randonnées, entretenus et accessibles.
Really The hotel is in a beautiful position with gorgeous views of the mountains and valley plus lovely walks straight from the hotel. Our room was on the third floor (no lift) and was quite small with no en- suite bathroom and the double bed’s side was against the wall which made it difficult to get out of for one of us (ie me!) Also nowhere to put or hang clothes, not even a rack to put suitcases on. The staff were helpful and friendly and the breakfast was nice.
Sehr schön gelegener Gasthof mitten in den Voralpen. Freundlich und gemütlich.
A cozy, clean and comfortable spot at an excellent location. The restaurant served gourmet food at reasonable prices featuring extraordinary views of the surrounding landscape. Excellent customer service starting with Manuel who was very helpful with planning local hikes. Highly recommended to anyone interested visiting the Lucerne/Pilatus area.
If it was upto me I would have given them 6 stars, had the most beautiful view with the best service. Exceptional breakfast, everything was so fresh. Came here for our anniversary and would recommend it to everyone!
Une nuit dans un endroit magnifique. Personnel très professionnel.
Hyggeligt gammelt hotel og god service. Men stedet er gammelt og lydt så får og køer med bjælder forstyrrer de let sovende.
Un cuento de hadas Suizo excelente lugar
Stunning location. Helpful staff.
Shared toilet and shower.
Views food walks bus all perfect creaky building is
De rust, de door en door zwitserse aankleding, al het hout, het geweldige uitzicht, en op loopafstand van prachtige wandelroutes, o.a. naar de top van de Pilatus!
Mijn eerste kamer bleek een sterke (oude) rooklucht te hebben, dat zat kennelijk in het hout. Er was geen personeel meer, dus moest ik er wel de nacht doorbrengen. Raam open ging niet vanwege de muggen. Gelukkig kon ik de volgende ochtend meteen naar een ander kamertje wat beter rook. ;-)
Fantastisk udsigt og skøn autentisk indretning.
Ikke noget
Traumhafte Lage mit einer Sonnenterrasse und Blick auf die Pilateskette. Das Zimmer gemütlich und geräumig, geschickt, modernisiert und den Charme des alten Hauses bewahrt. Wir haben das Abendessen auf dieser Terrasse genossen, eine feine Küche!
The host was very accommodating and friendly.
The staff and the location was amazing
Maybe some nets against mosquitos on the smaller windows would be nice😅
The views are amazing and the hotel is close to several trails to explore Mt. Pilatus. You can check out Kylenealmeida.com for more details.
The acocmodation and the staff were great. Also location and food
Die Lage ist super.
Die Zimmer sind sehr alt.
Un séjour très agréable ! Le personnel est accueillant, disponible et attentionné. L’hôtel bénéficie d’un cadre magnifique, en pleine nature avec une superbe vue sur les montagnes. Mention spéciale pour le restaurant : nous nous sommes régalés !
goed ontbijt, mooie lokatie
airco
All the charm of Switzerland without the crowds. The meal was superb and deserves 5 stars all on its own

ארוחת בוקר
I stayed at Hotel Restaurant Hammer in Eigenthal from 18 July to 19 July 2025 for one night, and it was a memorable and peaceful experience. The hotel is set in a beautiful mountain location, surrounded by nature, making it perfect for a relaxing getaway or as a base for hiking in the Swiss countryside. The room was spacious, clean, and cozy, with stunning views of the surrounding landscape. The traditional Alpine style gave it a warm and homely feel. The staff were exceptionally welcoming and made me feel right at home. I also enjoyed a delicious meal at the hotel’s restaurant, which served fresh, local dishes in a lovely setting. If you’re looking for tranquility, fresh air, and authentic Swiss hospitality, Hotel Restaurant Hammer is an excellent choice.
Nothing to complain.
Personnel très agréable, propreté extrême et restaurant très bien. Un très bon séjour.
Ruhig, sauber
Very quiet place to stay for a day, cozy and a beautiful view.
Colazione abbondante inclusa nel prezzo, bella vista sulle montagne, stanza piccola ma accogliente
Amazing
Please include something more in the breakfast like green salad and some chicken dishes.
Amazing atmosphere and kind staff. Nice and clean rooms. Easy to reach the city by bus
We really enjoyed our stay here. The staff are all so welcoming and helpful. The surroundings are incredibly beautiful. Its peaceful and clean. We loved our stay and will be back. Convenient bus from Lucerne station.
Lovely Mountain View room and amazing food. The staff were extremely helpful and kind.
Great hotel in a picturesque part of the world. Bus stop close to the hotel to Lucerne was amazing. Thank you for all the friendly help.
Meget venlige værter men meget kedelige værelser med kun en seng, et skab og et lille bord. Sengen var vanvittig hård og det er ekstrem lydt på hotellet så man kan tydeligt høre når nogen bevæger sig på de andre værelser på trappen eller snorker.
Wonderful stay in a well-located property right in front of Mt. Pilatus! Beautiful amenities and a tranquil and authentic experience! A strong recommend!
This was a nice and charming hotel set in a beautiful location.
Leider hatte das Restaurant wärend meiner Hotelbelegung Wirtesonntag. Ich habe es auch nur von Abeds 18.00 h bis Frühmorgens 05.00 h benutzt. Es war zu jeder Zeit sauber und ruhig.
Great location near trails and bus route. Shared bathroom and room were well cleaned. Patio/restaurant is a nice play to relax with views out to the Alps. Would recommend if in the area!
Limited vegan options for breakfast.
Excellent lodging. Beautiful views, nice staff, and cozy.
Nice hotel. Clean. Services are good
Situation de l hotel parfaite pour un retraite dans la nature tout en etant proche de Luzerne. Personnel agréable
I loved the view and the breakfast!
I would like to add more stars; there are only five. This hotel is the perfect spot for a romantic getaway. Absolutely everything is perfect. We have to come back sooner than later.
This is Gem that located in deep natural beauty mountain of outside of Lucerne, it is highly recommended if you travel by car and relax in mountains surrounding incredible view
Very nice traditional Swiss hotel. Incredible views of the countryside. I found it to be very spartan with no TV and very basic bedding which was not very comfortable. The bath room is across the hall and not in the same room. Even though it listed “free breakfast” according to Expedia we were charged 15 CF per person per day. This was a nice one time experience but I would not stay here again.
Great place to stay, excellent and friendly service, beautiful location.
Completely amazing, a must stay if you need to get out of the city and want amazing food, tranquility and beauty.
We were pleasantly surprised that Hammer was basically hotel for hikers and was located high up a narrow mountain road. We had a private bathroom and a wonderful view of the mountains. The staff were pleasant and helpful. I highly recommend this to anyone who loves the mountains
It was really beautiful, the nature, the forest and the food at dinner was very good, in a word it deserves to go again.
Very nice hotel with nice views. The room was very clean and the bathroom spacious and modern.
The location is just wonderful, however depending on which of the two routes in .. one is "Hairy" as a visitor who's not used to single mountain roads. The room we had was basic but clean with super views and our "dedicated" toilet was opposite our room door. We stayed two nights and ate there both nights. Food was faultless in the evening, however breakfast was a very "Continental" basic. Service as was nothing short of perfect, particularly from Manuel (Manager) and Stefanie and no language issues. Definitely would visit again for the location and service but value for money... Not sure, just checked into our next hotel and very much better value for money and better quality.
Nothing ...
Très bon rapport qualité prix, vue magnifique depuis le balcon et la terrasse, petit déjeuner top
Struttura molto bella in posizione panoramica. Ottima per relax e fare passeggiate. Accoglienza molto buona e personale molto gentile. Cibo che viene servito è di grande qualità
Great views, short distance from lucerne Friendly stuff
A short walk from the bus stop from Lucerne. The staff were very helpful and patient with questions (spoke many languages!) The rooms are charming with unbelievable views. Although the hallway sensor light took some time to get used to it was fine. Food was excellent. We even got to see an amazing trio (Viola, violin and piano) followed by a champagne reception and 4 course dinner! Will definitely return!
Excelente
First and the foremost, I had planned to reach luzern in the evening and could check in only late at night (around 10pm) and had informed the property beforehand, however I was worried as to how to access the hotel because there wouldn’t be anyone at the reception but the property owner had done all the preparations and made the access really easy and autonomous, there was nothing to worry about!! Secondly, the staff/manager were very polite and helpful. And the breakfast was splendid. Thirdly, the room was sparklingly clean and the view from the balcony was just speechless. Lastly, the hotel was worth it and I would like to recommend this hotel to anyone who likes nature, mountains and a peaceful ambience!!
Only one thing and that was, the hotel being a little far from the city centre and other tourist attractions, it’s 45mins by bus from the centre. And an about an hour or so by train or car to famous mountains and adventures. I write this only to give info, after all we cannot have the cake and eat it too, the hotel was totally worth staying at!!
Un lugar hermoso para hospedarse, queda a 20 min del centro de Lucerna pero tiene una vista increíble, lo recomiendo ampliamente
Espetacular, um dos melhores atendimentos na Europa, fomos muito bem recebidos, o restaurante é excelente e tem um chefe italiano top de linha, a Estefane nos deu todo apoio necessário e muitas dicas de passeios, gostamos muito de nossa estadia e super recomendamos.
the location was fantastic and the breakfast very good
Hotel charmoso, na montanha, muito agradável! Café da manhã muito bom!!
Hotel is vice nice & clean. Location view is very nice . Management are helpful & breakfast is delicious.
Gezellig hotel met een geweldig terras met uitzicht. Onze kamer was eenvoudig met gedeelde badkamer. Dat was geen probleem dankzij de slippers, de badjas en de brandschone badkamer. Het personeel was erg vriendelijk. Ontbijt was heerlijk.
Très bon accueil Hôtel plein de charme à la montagne, au calme à seulement 10km de Lucerne. Nous avions une chambre économique, petite mais avec une belle vue sur la montagne. Seul bémol, il manquait un placard ou une étagère pour pouvoir poser nos vêtements ou même une 2e chaise ou un 2e porte-manteau.
I was pleasantly surprised by the beauty of the surroundings. The weather turned out well and there were picturesque walks to go on. On the Saturday teatime there was an excellent concert of live music with mixed media performed by a famous Italian singer-song writer, compliments of the house for hotel guests. Extraordinary value for money, and easily accessible by an hourly bus service from Luzern.
Nothing. All was so pleasant. English was spoken. Breakfast was excellent and traditional.
This hotel was beautiful! We had a car, which made it easy to get to. There was a bus station at the bottom of the hill if you don't have a car. Stephanie, our hostess, was so nice and accommodating. The breakfast was good. The restaurant was closed for dinner the two nights we were there during the week. I would recommend this place if you want an excellent view of the ALPS.
Tres bel hôtel, chalet typique. Chambre très jolie, lit confortable. Bon petit dejeuner.
Beautiful little gem 💕 truly enjoyed our stay at Hotel Hammer. It’s cozy, clean and has spectacular view. Highly recommend.
Etape moto, lieu paisible, séjour agréable. Chalet bois typique, par contre salle de bain , certes privée, mais en dehors de la chambre, ce qui ne nous a pas posé de problème mais pourrais être le cas pour d'autres personnes, ce serais bien de préciser ce fait dans le descriptif de la chambre. Bris de pas du niveau supérieur important le soir et le matin. Les adeptes de la grâce matinée seront déçues. Le repas du soir et le petit déjeuner sont très bons.
Magnificent view from the restaurant terrace where my family enjoyed the first night dinner to overlook the Eigenthal valley. Great staff to accommodate our needs for check out. Breakfast was amazing! Truly an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended and certainly will visit again.
Un hôtel d'exception sur un site enchanteur! Un endroit de rêve! Avec en plus, une cuisine d'excellence, du déjeûner inclus à la chambre jusqu'au diner à la carte succulent, sur une terrasse que nous ne voulions pas quitter tellement le paysage est attirant! Avec le mont Hammer à portée de main!
The breakfast was delicious. Though there was only one person to look after breakfast needs and the reception, he did an exceptional job catering to all our needs!! We also liked the provisioning of drinks and refreshments even after the restaurant closure time (that is, the self service option!). The hotel has a lovely and peaceful location with a verdant view of the valleys and mountains. The morning view of the low-level clouds hugging the mountain slopes resembles some "Fairyland!!" The staff are very cooperative and helpful. We also liked the AI tool which addressed all our queries or diverted some queries to the hotel staff to address.
During breakfast, some items (like porridge) got over on 23rd Jul breakfast and could not be replenished. I would appreciate it if more staff were available during breakfast to cater to guest needs without having to wait.
Absolutely beautiful location! Very peaceful and quiet. Be prepared to climb stairs!
If you prefer to stay in an area that has countryside flavor, this is the place! Picturistically surrounded by mountains and not so far away from a nearby town center (by driving). Amazingly, it also has a bus route to a public parking area about 300 meters away, and a trailhead to Mt. Pilatus (2-3 hours straight up, as we were told). Easy driving to Kriens where the cable car takes you to the top of Pilatus. You can also take the cogwheel train to the other side of the mountain. Either take a train or a boat to the Lucerne. In the city center, a bus can take you back to Kriens where you park your car. Staffs are all friendly and enthusiastic to give you advice. Fantastic place!
Panorama
Et lille hotel i de schweiziske alper. Fantastisk beliggenhed. Som motorcyklist en fantastisk smuk køretur i skønne omgivelser for at komme dertil. Vi ankom ca. 35-40 min. inden køkkenet lukkede og ved indtjekning gjorde den søde unge mand alt hvad han kunne så vi kunne nå at få et måltid mad sammen med de andre gæster. Super service.
Super indico, com uma vista linda… café da manhã excelente, passei dias agradáveis aí !!!
Great view Cleanliness Friendly staff
Mountain road to reach the hotel better to have a car and be good driver because it is bit dangerous It is private bathroom but outside the room (just in front of your door)
Es war sehr ruhig, eine tolle Landschaft und es gab ein hervorragendes Frühstück
Parfait merci
Unser Aufenthalt im Hotel Hammer war absolut fantastisch. Wir haben eine Nacht hier verbracht und uns von Anfang an sehr wohl gefühlt. Das Personal war äußerst freundlich und zuvorkommend. Unser Zimmer war sauber, urig und bot eine atemberaubende Aussicht auf die umliegende Berglandschaft. Auch das Frühstück hat keine Wünsche offen gelassen. Alles in allem war unser Aufenthalt im Berghotel eine wunderbare Erfahrung, die wir jederzeit weiterempfehlen können.
What a really nice location. Indeed, what a beautiful view!!! Food at the restaurant was stupendous! The reception Mr.Gentleman (I forgot his name) was really nice and accomodating. I was going to stay another night but it was fully booked. Had I known that, I should have booked for 2-3 nights. Nevertheless, now I know where to go for a good relaxing weekend! I highly recommend this hotel. Awesome stay, awesome staff and awesome food!!!!
Lovely staff, amazing views and great food! Can't ask for more really as it was great for value.
