"I had a great stay as a solo traveler. I did a single room and had use of the shared kitchen, which was perfect for my needs. The room was basic but clean and quiet. I really liked the location where I could walk to town and get groceries, and catch the bus to Stoos Ridge, and the bus+train to other locations. It's also a good location for going on morning runs."

Hotel Pilatus Kulm

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel is located on top of a mountain. Very different experience. Dinner was included and very good. We didn’t know that there is no road access to the property. You can only stay if you use cogwheels train or gondolas. It made the journey more exciting."
