Excellent stay for families

Our stay here was great. The entire building is spotlessly clean. We had comfortable beds and beautiful views of the mountains. The shared kitchen is such a lifesaver. It offers individual refrigerators and shelves, with the option to lock them. The bartenders are friendly and helpful, and the bar wasn't too loud in our room. There are a few parking spots on site. The water temperature in the shower fluctuated unpredictably, but otherwise the shower was good. I did not like having to download an app to check in and access my electronic room key. I had trouble setting it up because there was a discrepancy between the phone number format sent by Expedia and the phone number format accepted by the app. The chat feature was very helpful in sorting this out. I also had to upload my passport photo. I would have preferred a more traditional, personal check-in process, but other people may not mind. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Highly recommend this place especially if you are going with the family. Engelberg is a beautiful town. Loved every bit of our stay at the Grand. Literally few steps from the train station.

Having traveled in my youth, I enjoyed the conviviality of hostles. As I have aged, I appreciate the quiet solitude of my room. I think this concept strikes a balance between the two. The rooms are all private. They work REALLY well with families. We were a party of 5 and had 6 bunk beds in our room, plus a shower and toilet. The common areas were clean and well stocked for cooking. The staff was around for questions despite the absence of a formal front desk. It is a bit different of a process. I booked through hotels.com and I downloaded the app “AA concierge” through I-store.The keys to the room and front door were digital and easy to use. We parked next to the building. The signage is a bit deficient, but I suspect it is due to local governance. The side of the building says “Grand”. It is right next to the train station. (Train station only has 2 platforms and is not an eyesore or noisy.) the app has a lot of information on the area and someone worked really hard on developing it.
