We visited in March and found this hotel is very unique and located in the heart of Lucerne. The room was nice and clean, we'll maintained and had a lot of character and history. Schiff meas ship I believe and the design had something to do with it? Just to give you an idea, This hotel is situated in a... More

Stayed here in June 2012 in a second floor room overlooking the river. Room was very spacious and quite comfortable but sharp edges on the bed! Only had breakfast here which was of good standard (continental only, nothing hot available apart from boiled eggs) and served in the very old fashioned and small restaurant - apparently the restaurant is highly...

The restaurant is located inside Schiff Hotel, overlooks the Reuss River (booking a table near a window is a must!) The atmosphere is warm, woody, soft. Schiff serves traditional Swiss food, well cooked, in generous portion; we tasted one of the best chügelipastete (a puff- pastry shell filled with diced veal and mushrooms in a creamy sauce) in Lucerne.

I booked a double standard room for one night at 132 euros through booking.com which rates this as a 3 stars hotel. When I arrived I found it was not what I expected: a small and gloomy entrance with a steep staircase, no hall, no common spaces, a small counter instead of a reception desk, smell in the hallways. I... More

Schiff Hotel is very well located in Lucerne facing the Reuss River, the historical bridge and a very nice church. Breakfast room is great overlooking the river as well. The staff was nice and the hotel was not too expensive, but clearly the property would need a ramp-up (both common area and room). Wifi did not work properly in the... More

Good size room, lovely and clean, close to train and all things around. Good position right on the water front. Has restaurant on the bottom floor right beside lots of others, so take your choice. We got a bit lost finding it, but after you get off the train and come out, turn left and the bridge after the Chapel... More

The Schiff offers good traditional food - but it's not outstanding in comparison to the other restaurants around. Staff is so so and sometimes the speed could be of concern. If you get a seat on the balcony - you're lucky. The Hotel infrastructure is somewhat old but functional. Nice selection of digestives

First time travellers to Switzerland on our honeymoon - I booked this hotel based on trip advsior advice and due to the fact it was one of the only reasonably priced hotels with river frontage and a walk from the main train station. We were not disappointed. I told the hotel we were on our honeymoon when I booked and... More

Fantastic hotel right on the water, the views from the doorstep of this hotel are amazing of a night, you could not ask for a better location. The rooms were great, as was the service. We had a lovely breakfast every morning and our dinner in their restaurant on one of the nights was very nice. Would highly recommend.
