Inns in Canton of Nidwalden, Switzerland

I stayed at the Engel as part of a leger Luxuria tour in June 2024. On arrival the lovely lady that owns the hotel checked us all in swiftly and I had been allowed a room with a shower as previously requested. It was a good size room and nicely decorated. I had a Juliet balcony also. There were 2 comfy twin beds and a tv. If like me you suffer with the heat take a fan as there is no fan or air conditioning at the hotel. I ended up buying a fan on our first day out. You will also need the 3 pin Swiss plug adapters as the thicker 2 pin euro plugs do not fit in the sockets. Adapters can be bought locally for around £7 and the hotel reception also loaned me one for my stay. Breakfast was not a huge choice but enough to get by on for the week - eggs, bread, some cereals, yoghurt, fruit and cheeses/meats. I found dinner a bit more hit and miss for me as I am limited on what I can eat. I cannot have meat or fish, which on two nights was the only main option so I ended up not having the main meals. Soup was offered in replacement. The bar was reasonably priced and the house beer was very nice. The outside seating was nicely placed with good views of the hills/mountains. The staff are all friendly and very attentive. The room was cleaned well daily and I had no issues in respect of cleanliness. Be aware that there is not a huge amount to do locally. I took the cable car up on a leisure day and there is a restaurant at the top with some beautiful walks back down. There is just the one small supermarket locally and no other shops that I saw. It’s a good base to see Switzerland and I enjoyed my stay. I would recommend this hotel and extend my thanks to the owner for a lovely stay.
