Hotel Schiff

  : What makes this hotel is its setting right on the lake with its own boat jetty. There cant be many hotels better situated than this, it is absolutely beautiful. Having your breakfast outside with the sun rising, or dinner in the evening with the sun setting is special and something we will not forget. There is also a walk along the lakeside which is a must while you are here.The hotel itself is quite basic, simple but functional furnishings, small but adequate bathrooms, open hanging rail, low wooden framed beds, but everything was spotlessly clean and well maintained. The staff were very helpful with the table service both efficient and informative.
  : Parking could be an issue as there are insufficient spaces for the number of rooms available, plus other customers patronising the restaurant can also take up spaces. If you cant get a Hotel spot then you have to pay between the hours of 09.00 - 21.00.We ate in the restaurant on the first night and we thought that the choice was quite limited, the food quality average and the prices very expensive, even for Switzerland, i.e. baked Perch with potatoes 47CHF, vegetarian Risotto 31CHF, Gin & Tonic 12.50CHF, a bottle of still water 8.90CHF, 0.5 Litre of Lager 5.90 CHF. The setting and ambience of the place made up for the hefty bill at the end.The only real downside for us was with the window open the noise from the train lines that run 250 metres behind the hotel. Our room number was 7, which is on the west side of the hotel overlooking a field of grass with the train lines beyond. Trains are back and forward every 15 minutes, day and night, so if you have the windows open and are a light sleeper you may want to bring some ear plugs with you. Rooms on the other elevations of the hotel may not experience this issue.

  : Was located on lake. Room had view only of busy railroad track
  : I booked and paid for a room for 2 but was given a single room with towels and comforter for one person. They admitted mistake but gave NO PARTIAL REFUND because I booked thru Booking.com. Breakfast was thin and everything ran out

Very Good

  : The location is close to the railway station and the food in the restaurant is excellent!
  : It was difficult to find the place in the dark, there are no signs for the railway station. The wifi password is not offered at the check-in, I had to ask about it in the restaurant.
