Hotel des Balances is a beautiful hotel, perfectly located in Lucerne for seeing everything. Great restaurant, amazing views of the city, the old bridge and water tower, River Reuss, and Mt Pilatus. Staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. Terrific place to see Lucerne. If the weather is even remotely warm, the rooms may prove uncomfortable. This is true throughout Europe. I knew this and requested (and received) an air conditioned room. The ac was not always adequate and this is with 75 degree f temps outside! The top floor has ac and would be unusable without ac since it is in effect the attic of the hotel. The ac struggles to keep up. |

We loved the location and our room on the fifth floor overlooking the river. The staff was very friendly and they offer a free welcome drink in the ir restaurant/bar. |

The hotel is located in the middle of the old city, on the lake, 10 meters from the KappelBrucke. The view from the room was amaizing, the room was very clean and well furnished with a large bathroom. very good value for money! it is lovely and recommended for a honeymoon. Nothing, everything was excellent¨! |

It is a beautiful place. The hotel is excellent, outstanding. The only minus is lack of air conditioning, which was not too bad in April (spring). The only minus was the lack of air conditioning system. In spring it got too warm sometimes, and we had to keep the room doors open. Nothing too bad though. |

We loved the room. It was big and spacious. The bed was very comfortable. The staff was very nice and accommodating. We did not particularly enjoy the shower. Water was spilling onto the floor and it was very messy. |

Visiting the city of Lucern and being in the heart of it. Breakfast was not included and prices high ... applicable to a 5 Star that way. |

A beautiful hotel, right on the river and directly across from the Jesuit church. The service was excellent. The room was spacious and well-appointed. The food in the restaurant was excellent. |
