We loved this stay! The room was very clean and the view we had on the 4th floor was really nice! They put a fan in the room so that it would cool us down a bit. The breakfast was nice as well, and the staff were always very kind and helpful. The hotel is right by the train station so that was very convenient. Overall, very nice place. Thank you!

I would recommend a room here to everyone. They really have thought of everything - good parking, excellent breakfast, the room.was.spacious and spotlessly clean. They have free tea/coffee in communal space, luggage and bike storage. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Lots of lovely special touches - chocolate and bedtime story in your room. Beautifully decorated breakfast room, great coffee and crafts for sale at reasonable prices. Loved our stay.

Nice for a short stay

Easy quick stay one night stay in a beautiful location. New renovated, clean. Easy self check-in. Parking is easy and free in front of the hotel too. One thing they could do is to clean the waterboiler, cause it wasn’t functioning correctly anymore, because of the calcium deposits. Other than that, nice staff and great service in the morning during breakfast

Fantastic! The location is brilliant, just next to the Lungern train station and in a very very beautiful area. Excellent facilities, a small and chic hotel, we really enjoyed our stay at Emma's. Emma's had a top-notch breakfast - One of the best breakfasts we ever had in a hotel :). The staff team is super friendly. Very highly recommended!!!

Self service hotel

I liked the hotel itself and the location, however this was all self service property. When you get there, you have to use a machine to check in, there’s literally no human individual to welcome you in, not one soul. They didn’t offer clean service, at all. We stayed two nights, and though the hotel room was very nice and clean the breakfast sucked!! They only offer coffee, pastries, fruit, cheese and yogurt. I felt like blah… wouldn’t book here again. The location however was perfect for the activities that needed to be done within distance.

Right by the train station. Small rooms but enough for two people. Good shower. Clean room. View from windows is magnificent. Nice, quiet village. Away from touristy areas but you can hop on the train and go wherever you want. Not much dining options. Two nearby restaurants. One restaurant is next door closes very early and the other is down the hill so when you come back it's uphill and a bit of a walk. This one closes before 10pm. They serve breakfast at the hotel though. Nice folks. It's self check in and easy to do.

Cons: the bedsheets were not 'smooth' anymore. They should be renewed. Lots of mosquitoes. No airconditioning, it was warm, could not sleep with door open because of the mosquitoes. When it's colder outside the temperature in the room is acceptable. Pros: Enough free parking. Clean room, unfortunately no standard room cleaning everyday, so no clean towels, although you could request for it. Friendly personnel at the restaurant. In general I would recommend but not in summer because of no airconditioning

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
I was really excited about coming here to stay as we were looking for a traditional bed and breakfast in the Swiss Mountains (as advertised) and this was the only moderately priced place in the region. then we found out why! While it’s cute and clean, there is no real service or hotel hospitality. It does feel a bit like a hostel. The bathrooms in the room are basically a public stall with no privacy if anyone else is in the room. There is no one to greet you for check in and the staff is only around until 11am. So if you’d like more pillows or towels, as is fair when staying in a hotel or bed & breakfast (as opposed to an Airbnb or hostel) there is literally no way to ask for anything. There was a sign saying that no one enters to clean the room etc unless asked, but we came to find a note left for us in the room while i had personal belongings out. That made us feel a bit uncomfortable. There was a bit of a scuffle when we checked out and the service was quite cold, rude, and unwelcoming. We wanted to add another person to our reservation or add a cot at least, (as it says rooms sleep up to 3 on their website) but as there is no one around to accommodate at the accommodations…there was an issue. Again service felt very dismissive and condescending, but the owner said that “self check-in” is in the name of the hotel. The name is “Emma’s Hotel Bed & Breakfast” when I booked. She had apparently counted the towels we used when they came into the room? Of course we used the towe

Disliked: Staff & service
The property location is pretty good, close to the lungern train station . The only thing I don’t like is the attitude of the person serving us in the restaurant . She’s unprofessional and rude . I was boiling my egg on this self cooking ( boiling water container ) and this is not my first time . She treat me like stupid , say it harshly that I need to do it for 10 mins , which I think is not right when you want a soft boil . 3 to 4 mins is good enough. She won’t even give me a chance ti explain why I prefer less time . She follow me every where I go like I’m going to break anything or do something wrong . I’ve been traveling around the world . I never felt this feeling of someone is watching me every minute . She doesn’t treat a guest like me like a guest . She makes you feel she’s the boss . But , what I notice is when she talk to local , she’s nice . I’m not sure if she have issue with a different race We tried to talk to her when she was making a cocktail . Since she’s working by herself , we tried to go to her bar area and ordered something . I don’t think she appreciate it , she said you can go to your table . Then she went inside the kitchen and started raising her voice to her co worker or her employee , feeling like we upset her Overall , the room is clean and spacious with a balcony , which we like
