Lovely hotel, great location”
This is a lovely hotel in a great location. Plenty of restaurants and shopping nearby. Train station and bus stop close by. Friendly staff. Lovely room and L'Occitane products provided. Expected at least complimentary continental breakfast to be included.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and sparkling. View fantastic. Walking ”
Staff went out of their way to assist you. Mt. Pilatus was closed both days we were there. We had bought our tickets on line from Viator. Staff tried to call this place to get a refund for our tickets. They were unable to talk to anyone by phone or email. Buy your Mt. Pilatus tickets at the hotel.

Beautiful views”
The Hotel des Balances was truly lovely and what views from our balcony!!! The staff is exceptional. The room (a junior suite) was clean but the sofa was broken. Bed however very comfortable. The bathroom was spacious and had a tub! Which sometimes is just so nice. Especially since it was chilly and after a long day sightseeing it was really nice to enjoy a hot bath. It is kind of expensive to get the view (had to pay for a junior suite) but worth it!! Spend the extra for the balcony, enjoy coffee and the view of Lucerne from your private balcony. I mean really, how many times will you to be in Lucerne!!!

Nice hotel, conveniently located, with a GREAT staff!”
I'll just start with the only negative: lack of air conditioning. I would absolutely recommend this hotel to a friend, but only during cooler months. While I've never been in Luzern during July or August, I can't imagine it's cool enough to sleep with just a fan. However! That being said, we simply loved the hotel in late September! The staff were completely lovely, and indulged our every need and request. The restaurant was excellent. The room was spacious, with a very nice bathroom and large shower/tub. A room on the river side would have been nice, but our room overlooking the wine market square was completely comfortable and quite sufficient. When we asked the Travel Office at the Luzern main train station for directions, they said, "Oooh, lah-lah! May we come with you?!" So the hotel has an excellent reputation in the city, and it is well-deserved. We thank the staff for a lovely 3 days.
