About
Surrounded by breathtaking mountain scenery and located right next to the ski slopes, Berghotel Trübsee offers a truly special experience. The adventure begins with the cable car ride itself: in just 20 minutes from Engelberg you reach the Trübsee middle station, where the hotel awaits at 5.9 feet above sea level. A valid mountain railway ticket is required for the ascent and must be booked separately. In winter, the fun starts right outside the door with skiing, snow tubing, and a dedicated snow park for children – making it the perfect destination for families and active guests alike. In summer, the surrounding trails and the beautiful Trübsee lake create a paradise for hikers and nature lovers. After a day full of activities, relax in the hotel’s sauna and enjoy regional specialties in the cozy restaurant or on the sunny panoramic terrace with its stunning lake and mountain views. Free WiFi keeps you connected, and convenient parking at the valley station ensures a smooth arrival. At Berghotel Trübsee, every stay is a blend of alpine adventure and pure relaxation.

Pros +
- Excellent location next to the cable car station. Friendly staff, comfortable rooms and offering dinner at the hotel.
- Amazing. Literally on the slope and connected to the gondola. Food was lovely and the hotel had everything you needed. Great stay.
- Breakfast buffé was good, dinner was very good, and the Bistro 1800 restaurant does a superb lunch on the sunny terrasse at the hotel.Enjoyed putting on our skis and hitting the slopes straight from the breakfast table
Cons -
- Wi-Fi was weak in the room.
- Apart from the restaurant Torbido, the food in the hotel especially the so-called "cinese fondue" was really not tasty and probably not appropriate to serve if you are not a specialist. The breakfest had cold cuts which seemed quite old and of poor quality. For clients that stay in the hotel, an à la carte menu should be a must with an proper chef. There was a constant smell of dishes all around, near the bar, in the lobby....a pity.
- See my comment on dinner above. My biggest gripe is that the hotel double charged me, insisting I pay on check-out even when I tried to tell them that payment had already been taken by booking-dot-com, so be careful and take proof of payment with you if you have pre-paid (hopefully one of them will refund me the double payment, but it is still a hassel).

The location, the fact to be able to ski directly from the hotel, the service.

The hotel was nice. The single room was fine, nice bathroom and great view up the mountain towards Titlis. Breakfast was standard for a 3 star hotel. Dinner was so-so, soup was good, dessert was also good but the main left a lot to be desired (deep fried schnitzel dripping in oil doesn't make the cut for me).

Very good breakfast and dinner included. Location. Very nice reception
The room is super small for the price. It was very hot in end of August and lots of fly so we open the window. Not so convenient when our room is by the ground floor. Will be better if we stay on higher floor
The room was quiet and had a good feel to it. The food was fantastic. Breakfast could offer more vegan options like a spread, but there was Oatmeal milk which is great. We loved this stay as a start for our kike the next day.
The decoration and art where a bit repetitive. The amount of photos of cows, was for us as locals a bit over the top.
It was amazing) a clean room with a panorama view of snow-capped mountains and Brownswiss? cows, very comfortable mattress, it is very pleasant to fall asleep to the sound of cow bells. for dinner was a few dishes and sauerkraut ?soup, the same as my grandmother used to cook, the taste of childhood). the perfect place for an informational detox and ?recovery.
Everything Couldn't be better than this.The location it's magnificent ? The staff manly Noora and Johan The roomThe foodEverything was amazing
Nothing at allOne of my top hotels ever
Amazing location in the mountains. Food was delicious as well. Rooms very comfortable and staff really attentive.
A very pleasant breakfast for the family. Included cooked eggs, and staples such as bread, ham, cheese, Jjams etc.
Comfortable, private and very silent. Great night sleep for a challenging skiing day the day after.
This hotel is not made for Backcountry skiers. If you want to do something challenging from Titlis (like the Titlis Round Tour) and want to use this hotel to be in the way you will encounter some challenges. After 16 if you want to go up you must explain to the gondola operators you will sleep at the hotel, otherwise they won't let you go (with skis) - and even so they will be suspicious. Buying a ticket from trubsee to titlis also does not work if you have skis, because those tickets are made for 'tourists'. You will need a ski pass which you might have to get the day prior, in the valley.
The hotel staff is awesome, we had to make a change to our booking and they were very welling to work with us. The service in the restaurant was great, everyone friendly and helpful.
the variety of food could have been greater. The evening meal was only one choice, where other places usually offer a couple of selections to pick from.. Overall the quality of the food was good
Perfect location. Outstanding breakfast buffet.
The food was a bit pseudo-luxury, but OK. We didn’t see the point on why they mystified basicslly inexpensive ingredients.
The location was great. The staff very polite. Cristina was especially accommodating and helpful.
You need to purchase gondola tickets to get to the hotel and it can get a little pricey if you go with your whole family.
The room was very clean and comfortable with a great view of the mountains. The hotel itself is very pretty from the inside and the staff are extremely helpful and nice. Dinner and breakfast were good, especially the 4-course dinner and they accommodated a vegetarian diet. There is a great lounge for the guests as well. Overall, a very nice stay and a good start to a long hike the next day.
The room was extremely hot even without apparent heating in the end of September with cool night temperatures, so I had to keep the window open all night to sleep since the duvets are also very thick and warm (which must be great in the winter).
Great location; amazing nature; kids playroom and kids playgrounds around; breakfast and dinner are included; responsive staff.
We were informed that dinner time is 18:30-20:00. We came at 19:00. There were 4 dishes for the dinner in the menu. We needed to wait for ~45 min for each of the 4 dishes. The last dish (dessert) we got at 21:20. 2,5 hours for dinner is too much. Especially when we were waiting with a small inpatient kid.
Location is the best! Our room is top notch!
The staff from the reception on our checked in was not that friendly but the other girl when we checked out is better.Somebody from the staff is controlling the television. The volume will just gets to its max which is crazy and when you try to volume it down, it go back up. Then it keeps going back to home. So whoever that is, hope he gets what he deserve!
The room, the location and view are excellent.The easiness to get to the slopes and the walking areas around the Trübsee and the facilities in the ski room are very good.
WIFI in the room was a small "disaster", it hardly works for any convenient streaming of e.g. news programs. Should be improved!The lobby on the 1st floor is nice and comfortable, but lacks coziness, e.g. the lights are much too bright.
Very good hotel. It is the best location. Beautiful like my dreams. But I didn't like one thing because I don't eat pork so the pasta was given to me. I didn't like it but ate it compulsorily to fill my stomach
