We stayed in Hotel Engel on the way back from a month in Italy. It was the perfect distance from Lake Garda, allowing us some leeway on getting through the Gotthard tunnel. The drive up the mountain to reach it was stunning, with beautiful views over Lake Lucerne via numerous hairpin bends.
When we arrived in the village, it was extremely busy, with a market going on opposite the hotel. However, we were soon pointed in the direction of Reception and checked in by the manager, who spoke excellent English. Our room was on the first floor, with a lovely view of mountains and one of the four cable cars in the village from the spacious shared patio. Parking had been tricky earlier, but once the market finished we were able to get into the hotel car park.
We ate in the restaurant, which was extremely busy with several private events, as well as guests, so staff were very busy. We chose the set menu of asparagus soup, Cordon Bleu and very boozy sorbet. All was delicious, though service a little haphazard due to the number of customers.
Our room was quiet and comfortable, very clean, though so warm we had to leave the door open onto the patio.
Breakfast was a buffet, but included fresh fruit, Bircher muesli, eggs, cereals and pastries, with excellent coffee. All was great value, with very friendly staff in a stunning setting. We would love to return next time we visit Switzerland.

The rooms are tiny but clean without a tea kettle, coffee or any other extras in the room at all. There is soap/shampoo for the shower and bathroom (no conditioner). Bed is comfortable and as others have said the sound of church bells ring loudly and often. Like most places in Switzerland, the room has no AC, so you have to leave the window open. We brought small USB fans which I highly recommend if you travel to Switzerland in the summer. Parking is across the street behind the grocery store which the hotel does validate. Breakfast was ok (Breads, meat/cheese tray, boiled eggs, fruit, yogurt and cereals) but as like every other place in Switzerland, the flies were an issue due to all the windows/doors being open. It would be good if there was a little better protection from the flies while serving a buffet. We had to swat with one hand and eat with the other and try not to get any food that we saw a fly land on. Make sure to ask for the local discount card which saved a small percentage at a few of things we did in the area.

Service personnel were very nice and friendly. Room was quaint and bed was very comfortable. Cute town outside of busy Lucerne.

Very nice hotel, helpful staff, dog friendly, good location, facilities in village and great views, (+ easy access off autoroute). Breakfast & evening meal very good. Room good size. Lift access. Can't fault this hotel. So is there a negative? Only one, the chirch nearby has a clock thst chimes the hours and the quarters if that's not enough it also rings all the bells at 05.00! So if you are a light sleeper and like to sleep with the window open a bit, just bear this in mind

I needed somewhere to stay during a journey and chose this hotel. It’s just off the motorway but far enough away to make you feel that you’re a million miles away.
Lovely little town that’s a ski resort in the winter. Hotel is in the middle with plenty of parking next to it. The staff are absolutely excellent and can’t do enough to make you feel at home. The rooms are spacious and very modern and super clean. I had food in the restaurant and it’s the kind of food that you would travel to - to eat! I would most definitely recommend this hotel.

Lovely hotel in delightful Swiss village room was excellent but no faclities for making tea or coffee.
Very nice continental breakfast. One major problem could not pay by credit/debit card which meant paying in Euro's which left a dent in our cash flow. Not acceptable in this day & age especially as booking site states all cards taken !!!

Hotel is few kilometers from the highway, up on the hillside, but it is easy to find and get to, as long as there is no major snowstorm. Hotel restaurant is really good, breakfast is basic but good, and rooms are nice. Nothing much in local area (small ski mountain right across, maybe some hiking summertime), but it is quiet and views are amazing if there are rooms facing the lake, Overall good value for money.

Lovely hotel in quiet mountain setting with extremely welcoming and helpful receptionist/manager who spoke excellent English. Modern plain functional room with all expected amenities.Comfortable bed and pillows.Excellent varied breakfast.The hotel does not have a garden at the back to enjoy the wonderful view over Lake Lucerne so ask for a room high up with a view of the lake.
Good tasty evening meal served in the hotel.
Emmetten is a small village which has a couple of shops and a cable car nearby. We would have loved to spend longer in this charming setting but were just overnighting en route back to UK.
