Pros:

Utrolig venligt og imødekommende personale. Rengøringen var i top. Meget bekvemmeligt med gratis bus til og fra Luzern.

Cons:

Har ikke noget med hotellet at gøre, men et dyrt land at holde ferie i. 1200,- per person for at komme op på Pilatus.
Dagligvare er op til 50% dyrere end i DK., men et fantastisk flot land med en venlig befolkning.

Great hotel in a beautiful city.
Pros:

The room was comfortable and we had a great view of the mountains. While there was no AC, fans were provided. The breakfast was very good and staff was really friendly. The bus stop was right outside the hotel, so it was very convenient to get to the city center.

Cons:

Thinner blankets would have been good given that it was summer and there was no air conditioning.

Однозначно не рекомендую, за такую цену можно найти альтернативу
Pros:

Только расположение

Cons:

В номерах грязно и душно, уборка не моет пол, он прям грязный, видно что на нем ходили в грязной обуви. Всю ночь соседи сверху шумели, администрация не предприняла никаких действий

The Hotel Balm made a perfect home base for our family while visiting Lucerne and we can’t wait to return.
Pros:

My family of four (two adults, two teens) stayed here and it was the perfect spot for our trip to Lucerne. The hotel is just outside the main part of town but is an easy bus ride to all sightseeing, shopping, and restaurants. Breakfast out on the terrace every morning was lovely and relaxing. The room was spacious and well appointed. The hotel staff were so kind and helpful with any questions we had. There is a complimentary coffee and tea station in the lobby and it was wonderful to come in from a full day of sightseeing and grab an espresso to take to the room. The pool area is lovely and includes a spectacular view of the mountainside. We would gladly stay here again when visiting Lucerne.

Pros:

L'accueil et les services étaient impeccables, le petit déjeuner vue sur la montagne et le lac était très bon et copieux. La piscine est un vrai plus. La propreté excellente.

Cons:

Dans la chambre familiale nous avons eu chaud malgré le ventilateur, nous avons donc ouvert les fenêtres mais nous avons été dérangé par le bruit de la route.

Hotel ideal pour une petite escapade à Lucerne.
Pros:

Son emplacement au calme entouré d’arbres, vue sur le lac et à seulement 15’ en bus du centre-ville de Lucerne ( arrêt devant l’hôtel et gratuit avec la carte d’hôte ).
Pour ceux qui ont une voiture électrique une station de recharge à 5’ à pieds.
Bon petit déjeuner. Café ou thé à discrétion au bar.

Cons:

Rien

Im Sommer zu heiß
Pros:

Sehr nettes, hilfsbereites Personal und ein liebevolles und ausreichendes FS

Cons:

Keine Klimatisierung, keine Lüftung, dadurch sehr stickig in den Zimmer und in den Zimmer zum Eingang führt eine stark befahrene Straße. Dadurch in der Nacht bei offenem Fenster sehr laut. Kein Kühlschrank im Zimmer ist ebenfalls noch ein großer Makel!
