United States of AmericaBeautiful location on the river, loved the restaurant too. We loved that we could all (4, 2 adults and 2 children) stay in our room. Great breakfast.
BrazilThe location of Hotel des Balances is amazing deep in old town Lucern, and absolutely gorgeous inside. We were in a room with a balcony facing the river and it was absolutely spectacular. We were greeted with a voucher for two free drinks at the bar, enjoyed on our aforementioned balcony! The beds were incredibly comfortable and the room clean with lovely toiletries. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Someone even comes to the door in the evening to ask if you need anything and give you chocolates! Wish we could have stayed longer, but we will certainly be back!
