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. More

Near to the station and the historic centre of Lucerne, it is very picturesque set on the river front. Check in quickl and professionally handled, and offers of information were made. Lift small and interesting! Room overlooked the river (see photo): waking up to such a view is marvellous. Breakfast had a good range. Only drawback might be in summer,... More

We have just returned fom our holiday in Europe and spent 3 nights in Lucerne and yes agree with everyone else that it is the most picturesque place. We loved our experience at the Schiff and had the funniest experience in the infamous lift. We arrived after dark and couldn't believe our eyes when we opened the shutters and saw... More

We chose this hotel because it was well located in the centre of Lucerne, close to station, shops and attractions. Continental breakfast was good. The room was clean but ventilation was poor. I would not stay at this hotel during the hot summer months. There was a smell in the hallway but not in our bedroom. This is an historic... More

The hotel is well located in the centre of Lucerne, close to station, shops and attractions. Views from the restaurant across the river towards the mountains are good. Continental breakfast was good with reasonable choice. Room was clean and large but ventilation was poor. We arrived as the outside temperatures were cooling down in late August but the temperature inside... More

The location of the hotel is pretty good. Chapel bridge is only 1 minute walk from the front door. Although if you come in via the front entrance, there’s a long set of stairs that you have to climb. So if you have a lot of luggage, go through the back entrance. The room was nice and spacious, but there... More

Great location. Friendly and helpful staff. Our room was a good size but bed was two singles put together (with single linen) and pillows were extremely flat. Breakfast and dinner were both very good food and service. Expensive for what we got, but that seems to be the norm in Lucerne. More
