Family-run for 150 years, the Hotel Balm is located in a green suburb of Lucerne and features a gourmet restaurant with fish and other specialities and offers free WiFi in all rooms. The hotel also offers a seasonal outdoor swimming pool.

Breakfast was very good. Loved the honey each day. Omelette was very good. Wide variety of flavoured teas. Very friendly and helpful staff. The location was superb just right across the bus stand. Lucerne station is just less than 10 mins away by bus. Bus comes every 15 mins. Wide variety of food choices at the station. Loved the shawarma (grilled chicken/beef wrap) at Istanbul restaurant at Lucerne station. There's a big Coop at the station with plenty of food choices to grab n go. Hotel is close to all main attractions easily accessible by bus and trains. Bus from Lucerne station drops right outside the hotel, so there is no need to get a taxi. Hotel backyard is very beautiful where you can go for a walk. Kids have a play area with swings and see-saw. Would definitely come again. Free roaming Wi-fi for all hotel guests too! Room was spacious to accommodate my family of 4.

    The hotwl has a stunning position over looking the city and lake. It is breath taking. The interior design and comfort far exceeded my expectations. The service was professional and personal, unlike my usual visits to hotels like The Kulm and Sacher resort where I found the service fussy and unfriendly, overly invasive. They nail it here. I received a great welcome with a glass of prosecco and was really looked after in the bar and restaurant. It is simply a great place. I am already planning my return visit.
