Hotel Schiff Pfaffikon SZ Switzerland

This 4* hotel is situated directly at the ZuricherSee in Pfaffikon SZ at a 7 min. walk from the railway station. It has absolutely the best location in town when you're so lucky to have a room with a view on the lake. But also because it is in a calm corner away from the traffic, train and church bells.

The staff is very friendly and helpfull!

Rooms:
The rooms are rather small for a 4* hotel, definitetly the single rooms which actualiteit have just a single bed. So whenever you reserve a single room, ask for a double bedded room for single occupancy. Every room is different and as there is a mail building and a guesthouse (right next door), there is a wide variety of rooms and views. I was lucky to have a room with 2 windows overlooking the lake. There are wooden floors in the room (which make a lot of noise actually)
The matrasses in this hotel are typically Swiss which means they're very thin. Therefor i've asked for an extra Duvet and put 2 matrasses on top of each other (HINT). 


Bathroom:
The bathroom is rather small. In my room there was a small shower (in fact a bit to small - was unable to wash my feet). The pressure in the shower is really good!
There is liquid soap in a dispenser and 3 towels per person (1 very small towel, 1 handtowel and 1 big towel) and 1 floor carpet.
There is a small hairdryer, but with a poor quality.

Breakfast:
The breakfast is served in a buffet in the restaurant part overlooking the lake. This is great to wake up. There is a small selectie of cheese, meat, 3 kinds of bread, booked eggs, muesli, 2 kinds of yoghurt, Nutella, jam, honey and Some pieces of fruit. There is orange juice, apel juice and water provided. Coffee/ tea are served on the table.

Restaurant:
Restaurant is partly overlooking the lake and serves food of a high quality. There is a wide selection which you can chose from.

Advantages:
- location of the hotel on the lake (perfect for an evening walk)
- hospitality of the staff
- wine bar directly in the hotel
- restaurant with terrace overlooking the lake / with a good food quality.

Disadvantages:
- matrasses way to thin + low beds (but are planned to be replaced after summer 16)
- small showers (depends on the room you're in)

I would rate this 4* hotel 7/10 in general This as the average rate is about 140CHF per night incl breakfast and for this price I would expect more comfort in the rooms. For the location, hospitality and food I really appreciate this hotel.
