Good location.
Enjoyed the Hotel and especially the location. Walk to the train station and a short walk to the old town and the attractions. Expensive for what you get.

Stayed 2 nights and enjoyed the views, comfortable bed and attentive staff. We appreciated the water and ice machine on each floor and air conditioning. The umbrella came in handy a few times too. We would definitely stay here again.

Excellent hotel - in the center of Old Town. Clean, spacious room with a River view & balcony. Staff was helpful with my questions when planning excursions and coordinating dinner reservations at Balances. Highly recommend!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Avoid if you value sleep! 2 star at best!
Avoid at all cost! No a/c, no screens on windows, but if you open a window to avoid a cramped, hot room, you have no privacy from the street. Close blinds and shades for privacy, the room gets overheated. Glass bathroom wall offers limited privacy and lights up the room if one goes to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Old and grungy carpeting and concrete bathrooms with no tiles Service is awful in the breakfast room and front desk, nasty staff - no manager on duty on weekends if you have a problem, so you deal with clueless kids on duty. Avoid, avoid, avoid!

Great stay in Lucerne. Beautiful hotel and wonderful service. We booked a day trip from the front desk to Mt Pilatus which was very memorable. The room and the view from the balcony was incredible. Breakfast was flawless each morning with dedicated service to make the stay special.

Hotel is very centrally located, making everything you want to see very walkable. The restaurant/bar/lounge was lovely too and the welcome glass of prosecco was a nice touch.

Staying at Hotel Des Balances in Lucerne was an absolute delight. From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by its charming atmosphere and warm hospitality. The view of the Reuss River and the iconic Kapellbrücke from my room was simply breathtaking. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was comfortable and memorable, and the attention to detail in the elegant décor was impressive. Dining at the hotel’s restaurant was a culinary experience I won’t soon forget, with delicious dishes served in a picturesque setting (Michelin star). Overall, my time at Hotel Des Balances nothing short of magical and looking forward to returning.
