It seems that a one point in this building's history, this was once the Schiff Hotel. In fact the lettering on the outside of the building still reflects that. This building is an old structure renovated to modern standards but has its quirks. There is an elevator but it apparently was retrofitted into a space that was not designed for it. So it is very small but nonetheless functional. About two people at a time can fit. We stayed on the 4th floor, which was great. It has a very large window facing the river and offered a fantastic view. Arriving to the Hotel was a bit of a challenge as it was hidden in a small alleyway. There is a small lighted sign that says HitRental, and in front, next to the door is a coded key box which you need to enter your pass code (given to you by email). Once doing so, a key will drop out and allow you access. If you have problems there is an intercom phone box for you to communicate with an agent. Once we got in it was comfortable, with all the things one expects from an AirB&B; with lots of household amenities. On check out there is a check list of things that must be done and a lost key will cost you. You must also take out your own trash too. All in all, it was a pleasant stay and I would do so again. It is about a ten minute leisurely walk from the main train station and Lake Luzern pier.
