    I stayed a whole week and I would stay a whole week or longer again!

    Liked : Breakfast was great, staff was super helpful and friendly, location close to the train station was ideal for me.

    Liked : They staff are friendly and helpful. I like their smiling faces including the cleaning ladies!
    Not to mention, the location is great. It's super close to the train station and convenience store.

    A great value for a comfortable, clean, and accommodating stay in a beautiful place.

    Liked : I was a little concerned when I realized how close the hotel was to the train station, but I needn’t have worried - the whole town is clustered right around the station, trains are infrequent, and they slow down as they approach the terminus, so there was no train noise at all. The restaurant was lovely and convenient, and the breakfast was simple but delightful - I especially appreciated the array of local cheeses, which were delicious.

    Disliked : The room was a little warm (it was an unusually hot day in Engelberg) and there was no fan or way to open the window more than a crack to cool it down. The street below was also a little noisy with crowds of tourists staying across the street, but that is not the fault of the Crystal.

    Fantastic staff and breakfast, great location for skiers, but few amenities. Quiet.

    Liked : The breakfast is superb, with a comprehensive array of breakfast items that goes above and beyond the usual. For example, there's a wide variety of breads and rolls, as well as wide assortment of grains and cereals. Plus scrambled eggs and bacon for those who are really hungry. And best of all, a fully-automatic espresso/coffee machine! There's also drip coffee. The staff is awesome; very friendly and personable.

    The restaurant in the hotel is also quite good; we went there twice.

    Disliked : There's no lobby to speak of, so it's not a particularly good place to meet up with people or escape from your room to work or eat a snack. The room we were in was relatively old and quite small; I don't think any of the rooms shown on booking.com look like the one we had.

    Would recommend the Crystal to anyone looking for very nice reasonably priced accommodation with a friendly atmosphere.

    Liked : Very well located, a simple but very comprehensive breakfast, clean comfortable room of a good size with a nice view and balcony. Staff were all very friendly and made their guests feel very welcome and a bonus of a beautiful sauna area that included multiple saunas at different temperatures and a steam room, perfect for post-ski relaxation and rejuvenation. If you are looking for a very nice comfortable convenient place to stay in Engelberg at a reasonable price, The Crystal Hotel is a great choice.
