Been coming each year since 1971..54 years. I come each year. Unfortunately this year it was cut short due to weather but was handled expertly and with care.

Staff was the greatest ever! Room was great! Dining was awesome! It's sort of a once in a lifetime place to stay During dinner we were entertained by fighting ibexes. On the way down the mountain, via cog train, pronged horn deer were only feet away. Great experience

Just an amazing location. The hotel was really beautiful and once the rest of the people left the mountain it becomes so quiet. The meal which was included (that was a surprise to us) was spectacular. Only complaint is there is no help at all with baggage getting up there (lots of stairs for the train). So plan for that if possible.

The Pilatus is a hotel you will never forget! You are literally on top of the world! The staff was great. The rooms were fabulous. The view is breathtaking. Dinner was way beyond our expectations. I will never forget the soup. And our waitress was superior! Very well worth every penny.

We wanted something remote, away from people, noise and crowds, just a place to relax, read a book in peace, do some hiking and enjoy the scenery. We got that and so much more, it was absolutely breathtaking and serene. The best part is in the evenings when the mountain is closed to public. Everyone there was so nice and helpful, I wish we could have stayed longer.

Visiting Mt Pilatus is one thing, but staying on the property after all of the other tourists leave around 5 PM is a truly incredible experience. There is dinner served for hotel guests with the ability to catch an amazing sunset and moon rise all from the same spot. We hope to be back!

This hotel is about the location. It is mesmerizingly awesome. Like something you see in the movies. The hotel itself is older and needs updating but the room was clean, and the bed was very good. This is an experience, and one you really won't forget.

It was not clear that the cog train or gondola was not included in the cost of the first nights stay. It was also confusing that the cog train was in a very different location than the gondola which dropped us off in a difficult location with luggage. Take the cog train if it is running because it is right by the train.

Nach drei Wochen im Nebel haben wir die Sonne auf dem Pilatus sehr genossen. Eindrücklich war auch die Sicht aufs Nebelmeer. Der Aufenthalt im Hotel liess keine Wünsche offen.

So wohl habe ich mich selten in einem Hotel gefühlt. Das Personal war so zuvorkommend, sympathisch und freundlich. Das Abendessen und Frühstücksbuffet unübertrefflich. Und das Hotelzimmer ein Traum. Wir waren überwältigt.
