This hotel was booked through Viking Cruises for the end of our river cruise. It is a beautiful hotel with really good customer service.

A short walk across the famous Chapel Bridge. An old wooden bridge lined with art from the 1300's. I should have done a Yelp check in walking across it but forgot. Lol Schiff sits right on the Reuss River which empties into Lake Luzern. A beautiful setting with a stunning view of the Swiss Alps for a backdrop. The service was excellent. I think they can tell if you're a tourist right away and take pride explaining the menu. The Ham & cheese quiche with a nice fresh salad was delicious and delightful. It was lite and so flavorful and the Turkey escalope piccata with spaghetti, zucchini was a tender cutlet and the spaghetti with zucchini was fresh tasty.

Therefore, I can't. On the second night of sleeping at this hotel, I noticed that I had uncontrollable itching on my arms and back, but discounted the issue as just a few bug bites. Fast forward to my third day, I had even more bites on my body with even more discomfort and itching. The itching wasn't a fun experience in winter especially when you have layers of clothing on and are trying to itch your way through 2 jackets. On my last day at this hotel, I noticed dozens upon dozens of bites across my entire body. I also had uncontrollable itching and burning from the scratching. My mother (who shared the same room with me) had the same problem, too. Her bites were primarily on her back. Upon looking at the white sheets, I noticed several blood spots scattered around, which is typically a sign of bed bugs feeding. This incident has caused us severe discomfort on our travels back to the United States. Not only that, we will have to treat all of our luggage with high heat to eradicate any larvae or live bed bugs. As for the the continental breakfast, I thought it was disappointing. We only ate the breakfast one out of the four days of our stay. That was largely in part of the bad food. My last complaint was that our espresso machine in our room didn't work. It only spewed out hot water. I wish I could have rated this hotel higher because the suite we stayed in was beautiful. Unfortunately, the cleanliness standards were a major issue.

Anyway, I digress.

It was nice to wake up to a beautiful view daily. There are a couple of reasons why I'm giving them a 4 star review versus a 5. We never received wash cloths the entire time we were there. Is there a shortage of wash cloths? The shower/bathtub doesn't drain very well unless you totally remove the stopper. The duvet cover on the bed doesn't hang over the sides. It's as if it's too small for the size of the bed. Fortunately, the bed was comfortable. I did like the fact that there were 2 pairs of slippers. We had a Nespresso coffee machine in the room. Our housekeeper always had the room cleaned in good time. We never actually saw the housekeeper. There's a robot named Jeeves who can deliver snacks and drinks to your room. Perhaps I should have called Jeeves to deliver some wash cloths. Other than that, it was a good 4 star hotel stay. I think the high Swiss rate is for the location. We couldn't have asked for a better location.
