Lodgings in Pfäffikon

Everything. Staff is great!!!!

The crew here are excellent, professional, and genuinely warm — a standard one rarely encounters even among Switzerland's finest five-star houses. This is a family-owned and family-managed property: modern in its efficiency, yet old-school in the grandeur and charm of the Swiss hotelier traditions we grew up with. Frankly, the service is friendlier and, in many respects, more polished than at the Baur au Lac or the Dolder Grand — grand names where you never quite sleep as well, because a certain lax, self-satisfied air tends to get under your skin. Not so at the Schiff. Think of it as a veritable luxury cruise for guests who prefer to live a discreet private or business life, well away from the hollow innuendo of tired five-star slogans. Here the crew genuinely listens to its passengers. You can unwind completely and dine on cuisine fit for a statesman or stateswoman — all of it delivered in the relaxed, understated manner of a bygone era, when attention to detail was what made your day. Enjoy your stay at the Schiff: a luxury cruiser we are already tracking, because we fully intend to return. A side note: this remarkable place was recommended to us by senior members of the diplomatic community in Washington, DC — which is precisely what caught our attention. We had only a brief eighteen-hour stay, yet it felt like a weekend away. I am not exaggerating.

Very welcoming and always available

Great location by the lake. The lounge at the lake is perfect. Design and furniture inside and outside with a lot of love and quality. Very nice staff throughout. Very happy to come back. We had the perfect stay.

Very nice apartment, well equipped.

Spacious room. The hosts are very nice and considerate, and they arrange everything nicely. Very convenient location. Our kid likes the toys prepared by the host very much

So well stocked. Lots of amenities close by( train station, bakery, grocery store and restaurants)

Great location and a beautiful and very clean hotel. We will be back soon :)

​I had a great stay at this hotel. I want to especially highlight the manager, who was extremely helpful in giving me key tips and local recommendations to make the most of my trip. The location is perfect—very close to both the downtown area and the lake. On top of that, the place was very quiet, peaceful, and spotlessly clean. I would definitely stay here again!

It was very comfortable and affordable. We didn’t use the kitchen but it would be so nice if you’re looking to save money and/or staying for an extended period of time. It was a short walk to the lake/beach which was lovely. The host is very welcoming and accommodating. She drove us to the train station in her own car for no charge.

The location is perfect, right next to the lake. The apartment was nice.

Have good location, easy to find. Very clean and it has everything you need during the stay. Owner is very kind and friendly.

The comfort and the lovely staff. special thanks to welcoming front desk person Melissa, and breakfast gentleman.

Amazing location, very close to the beautiful castle and in the old part of the city, very good Wifi and good breakfast...

Wonderful location close to the old town. Walkable to everything—train station a few blocks away, the lake, grocery stores, boutiques, and the zoo for kids. We had a wonderful time. Keyless entry was wonderful and had no issues. Also the apartment smells amazing! I had to look for the same scent to purchase. 😊

Very comfortable place. Worthy every dime

Easy instructions, great location, kind staff, clean

Excellent location close to train, restaurants, stores and the lake. Kitchen was well equipped.
