    During my stay at Hirschen Backpacker-Hotel & Pub, I was impressed by the great facilities and friendly staff. The accommodation provided everything I needed as a bike packer, from a safe bike parking to a washing area for my clothes. I also had the option to either cook my own food or enjoy a meal at the restaurant. The staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcome, even cooking me a delicious soup and rice when I wasn't feeling well. Their kindness and hospitality truly made my stay memorable. I highly recommend this hotel for its fantastic facilities and amazing staff.

    The location was amazing, just steps away from the Historical Square and Parish Church. the accommodations were simple but great, and the whole place was clean. the staff at the reception/bar were very helpful and provided information on hiking and activities in the area. the shared kitchen was well-equipped, and there were lockers with combination codes for security. a great stay for a light sleeper like me.

    Felt lucky, no complaints whatsoever.

    The value for money at this hotel was great. The room was clean and comfortable, with fresh bedclothes. The location was convenient with easy access to public transportation, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful.

    The breakfast items could have been improved, specifically the lack of eggs and insufficient butter.

    our recent stay in switzerland was made even better thanks to hirschen backpacker-hotel & pub. the beautiful surroundings of the swiss alps, free parking and wifi, and a clean and newly renovated room with comfortable beds were all highlights. the friendly staff, delicious breakfast with a mountain view, and a well-equipped kitchen were also impressive.

    Mold issue.

    We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Hirschen Backpacker-Hotel & Pub. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making us feel right at home. The room was clean and comfortable, providing the perfect retreat after a long day of exploring. The highlight was definitely the pub, with its excellent selection of beers and delicious food. The location was ideal for our hiking adventures in Mythos Peaks and Rigi, and the nearby public transportation made it easy to get around. I highly recommend this hotel for a memorable and enjoyable stay.

    Loved the garden terrace, perfect for sipping my wine and pretending I'm fancy. Free Wi-Fi allowed me to Instagram my hostel life to impress my friends.

    The only thing missing was a personal butler to fan me and feed me grapes. How inconvenient!

    I recently stayed at a lovely hotel in a stunning location. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, allowing us to store our bags and check in early. The room was clean and recently renovated, with comfortable beds and fresh bedding. The bathroom, although small, had all the essentials and clean towels. The hotel also catered well to bikers, offering laundry facilities, secure bike parking, and even cooked a meal for me when I wasn't feeling well. The reception was welcoming, and the food, including breakfast, was excellent. The location was perfect for exploring the nearby mountains.

    I recommend this hotel.

    We had a fantastic stay at the Hirschen Backpacker-Hotel & Pub! The location was absolutely stunning, with breathtaking views of the Swiss Alps. The room was clean and recently renovated, and the beds were incredibly comfortable. Despite the tiny bathroom, it had all the essentials we needed. The free parking and WiFi were a great bonus. The highlight of our stay was the delicious breakfast, which was set up for us by the window with a beautiful mountain view. We also enjoyed the lively atmosphere of the pub, with a live concert on Saturday. we had a satisfying stay at this hotel and would definitely recommend it.
