Great location for mountain passes.
Stayed here for 3 nights in June, perfectly placed for touring the alpine passes in the vehicle of your choice 😉. Hotel clean and staff were very friendly. Town is remote with next to nothing going on and limited food choices, but not a fault of the hotel. Would visit again in a heartbeat.

Hotel Astoria is one of the best lodging and dining establishments we have visited in Switzerland.
The staff is incredibly nice, the rooms are well appointed and very clean and the food at the restaurant is very, very good.
We have been here twice in the past three years and will be back the next time we are in Switzerland.

So close to the Furka pass
We wanted to drive the mountain passes but mainly the famous Furka pass. The location was perfect for this. The staff at the hotel couldn’t have been nicer and if you’re looking to do the trip we did I can 100% recommend this hotel.

Gutes Mittelklassehotel
Gutes Mittelklassehotel an zentraler Lage. Unser Zimmer war eher klein aber komfortabel. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Frühstücksbuffet ist reichhaltig und von guter Qualität. Das angeschlossene Restaurant können wir ebenfalls empfehlen.

Wir haben auf einer Motorrad Tour eine Nacht im Hotel Astoria verbracht. Vom Personal wurden wir sehr freundlich empfangen. Für die Motorräder gab es einen Platz in der Garage. Wir waren im neuen Anbau des Hauptgebäudes untergebracht. Das Zimmer war hell, sehr sauber und schön eingerichtet. Das zugehörige Restaurant bietet sehr leckere regionale Speisen zu vernünftigen Preisen. Auch das Frühstück war sehr gut. Die Lage des Hotels, am Fuße des Neufenen Pass und in der Nähe des Grimsel- und Furka Pass macht es besonders für Motorradfahrer zu einer idealen Übernachtungsstätte. Wir werden das Hotel auf unseren nächsten Touren durch die Schweizer Alpen ganz bestimmt wieder buchen!

Hotel Astoria was a nice hotel situated in Ulrichen which worked out well for our travels. The hotel is nice and clean it's just a little tired in some places and a little noisy at times with the road but overnight was peaceful. The 'mountain view' wasn't really worth it as we had more of a view of the car park. All in all a perfectly nice hotel for an evening.

Peter and his staff are incredibly friendly and try to help in every way possible. The Hotel was very clean and comfortable. The restaurant had many regional choices and the food was very tasty. We will certainly be back the next time we are in Switzerland. You cannot go wrong staying here.
