Hotel Felmis

Hotel Felmis Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Hotel Felmis on Kastanienbaumstrasse, you immediately get the sense this is one of those places locals actually know about. It’s a solid three-star property that doesn’t try to be something it’s not — and honestly, that’s exactly what makes it work so well. The building has that understated Swiss charm where everything just feels… right, you know? Not flashy, but definitely well-maintained and welcoming. This is the kind of hotel that prioritizes substance over pretense.

Location & Getting Around

Here’s what I really appreciate about the location in Horw — you’re close enough to Lucerne’s action without being stuck in the tourist chaos. The fact that couples consistently rate this spot 8.7 tells you something important about the neighborhood vibe. It’s quiet enough for a proper night’s sleep, but you can still get into the city center pretty easily. Plus, there’s free private parking right at the hotel, which honestly saves you a headache if you’re driving around Switzerland. The proximity to Lake Lucerne makes it an ideal base for exploration.

The Room Experience

The room I stayed in was exactly what you’d expect from a well-run Swiss hotel — clean lines, functional design, and everything working as it should. Nothing groundbreaking, but the attention to detail is there. The windows actually open properly (you’d be surprised how often that’s not the case), and the beds are firm in that European way that somehow leaves you feeling more rested. I mean, it’s not going to win any design awards, but you’ll sleep well and have space to spread out your stuff. The furnishings are practical and durable.

Breakfast & Daily Rhythms

The buffet breakfast deserves a mention because it’s one of those things that can make or break your morning routine when you’re traveling. They’ve got the Swiss basics covered — good bread, local cheeses, proper coffee — and it’s served in a bright space that actually makes you want to linger a bit. You know what I noticed? The staff seems to genuinely care about keeping things fresh and well-stocked, which sounds small but makes a real difference when you’re trying to fuel up for a day of exploring. The dining area overlooks the surrounding landscape beautifully.

Why Guests Love It

That 8.7 rating isn’t an accident — Hotel Felmis just gets the fundamentals right without any fuss. It’s the kind of place where you check in, settle into your routine, and don’t have to think about whether things will work properly. The combination of that peaceful Horw location, reliable service, and honest three-star comfort creates something that’s actually pretty hard to find these days. Whether you’re using it as a base for exploring the Lake Lucerne area or just need a solid place to recharge, it delivers exactly what it promises. Guests consistently appreciate the straightforward approach to hospitality.
