We stayed for two nights at the Hotel Badus with a large tour group. At first we were disappointed that were were an hour away from Lucerne - but as we began to explore the little town of Andermatt we were happy with the location.

The hotel has been somewhat updated, newer linens and some modern furniture, my room had a nice balcony with a view of the town. It's basic accomodation, not far from the tram to the ski hill - but the service in the restaurant was good, as was the food. The only real complaint I have is the hot water - I was told it's not turned on until 6:30am, as an early riser that was a problem.

Not a bad choice for a short stay in the Lucerne area.

A nice hotel located close the Andermatt train stations. All public areas I found them nicely decorated and clean (lobby, bar, restaurant) We got a spacious room with the sink in the room and the toilet and shower in the bathroom (*) The bed was a joined twin, tv, sofa and a nice front view, well in reality not so nice because there was a large construction site (have heard that there will be build a five star hotel) but didn't disturb us any noise, apparently is sound-proof. The breakfast was a typical Swiss breakfast: bread, cheese, ham, cereals. A little detail that I appreciated: when checking out, a guy from the kitchen came running to give a wind-fan toy for my daughter, it highlighted her day! Overall experience: very good.

(*) Later, I mean after the trip, when commenting the experience to friends, we were told that some old Swiss hotels build in the 50's till the 70's used to (not all) place the sink in the room instead inside the bathroom like most of the hotels today. I found it really good since I could brush my teeth in peace without been obliged to smell my partner's smells when he uses the wc!!

We arrived later than expected and the staff was very friendly and accomodating. The room was comfortable and clean, as was the toilet area. There was a balcony, which was very nice to wander out onto. The train station was a short stroll down the strasse. Breakfast was tasty and plentiful and the staff was very attentive. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would like to go back soon.

While the rooms are pretty big, the location is nothing to write home about, and the staff, while friendly, is downright stingy with their food. Instead of eating at breakfast, my husband, who was feeling slightly ill, decided to go down and take a bread roll back up to our room. However, the woman wouldn't let him, telling him to put it back. The breakfast is a few rolls with two types of cereal - pretty standard for Europe, although this is quickly changing.

Overall, a decent experience, even though the staff is quite stingy.
