Hotel Restaurant Balm Meggen

Clean room, friendly staff, delicious breakfast.

Excellent breakfast 24hrs coffee, tea and juice available at the entrance.

Just 8 min outside of Lucerne but had great views from our room, a fantastic restaurant on site, breakfast was included, free parking. Also gave us a pass to take public transport into Lucerne if we desired.

Wonderful stay. Would definitely make the trip back!!!

Staff was accommodating with check in! Breakfast was amazing!!!!! so much to offer!! Rooms were comfortable and spacious! Great hotel 15 minutes outside of Lucerne but easy accessible with free bus!

I was worried the hotel would be too far away from the town center. However, the bus right outside the hotel was quite convenient coming every 15 minutes. A visitor card was offered that covers local transportation. The room was spacious and clean. The only drawback was we arrived during the heat of summer, and only a fan is available. Breakfast was very nice and variety of choices. Staff were courteous and helpful. Very nice outdoor poor with a great view, but it closes at 7:30pm.

Hotel is in quite location. Clean property. Big room for family of 4. Hope they woul provide body lotion as well in the bathroom. Also, the pillows on the sofa bed (which we used for our family) could have been a little firmer. They were folded over.

Wonderful breakfast, friendly staff and close to bus transportation!!

Absolutely wonderful hotel. Our checkin was simple, parking was great, it’s a beautiful spot, the staff was super helpful and gracious, and the rooms were large and comfortable. The breakfast was the best we’ve had on our two week trip in Europe - it was awesome!

Very beautiful place. Very nice breakfast. Staff was very accommodating.

The hotel is well maintained. The room is clean and spacious. The staff is courteous and professional. I highly recommend eating at the hotel's restaurant, the food is outstanding, and the menu changes.

Very friendly service and great location with free parking. The breakfast was quite average and the room does not come with any mini fridge or a kettle.

The free breakfast is very good

This is a nice property in the quite and peaceful Meggen area. Its just a few minutes from Luzern and the city bus stop is right in front of the hotel, very convenient. We had breakfast included and it was lovely! The room was comfortable and spacious. The only minor suggestion I would make is a microwave and self service laundry. Regardless, I highly recommend this property.

Nice place to syau

Everyone was very welcoming, service was great. Room was beautiful and spacious and the view was great. Would recommend and stay here again with pleasure

Love this property! Had an amazing included breakfast that was true local food.

Large, clean comfortable room. Good breakfast buffet. Outdoor terrace off of dining room beautiful. Staff was friendly and very helpful, especially the woman at reception in the evening. Highly recommend this hotel.

Friendly staff, beautiful view and excellent food and big rooms.

Everything was awesome! Great chef.

Perfect place to stay to explore the area. Easy free bus into Lucern. Best breakfast ever. Staff was friendly and very accommodating. Highly recommend.

Very clean, quiet, excellent view

There was a lot of street noise. People talking and laughing loudly under our window until 1:00 am. Very hard to sleep at night due to being near the restaurant.

Beautiful location with friendly hotel staff. Doesn’t have AC but if it gets too got you can open the windows. Wonderful breakfast, especially when sitting outside. We enjoyed one night here. The free transportation pass is helpful to get into town.

Very memorable stay!

Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was amazing. Room was comfortable and clean.

This is one of the best hotels we stayed in Switzerland. It is close to lucerne, but it is quiet and have convenient free shuttle in front of hotel every 15mins. We parked our car in the property easily. The Breakfast is awesome with a gorgeous view. Get a countryside feeling staying so close to a busy city. Only thing is they don't have A/C or ceiling fan and Switzerland is getting hotter. The Air circulation is good, and we kept the windows open to get cool air. Not sure if that will work in July or August.

Convenient stay on the edge of Lucerne. Rooms clean and well appointed, food was 5-star quality, parking convenient, but you can hop a bus across the street into town and leave the car at the hotel which you should do unless you want to spend the day sharking for parking. Overall an amazing value just outside of an amazing city.

We loved our suite with a little separate bedroom for our teenaged daughter. The pool was beautiful. The people warm and welcoming.

It was very good

Very convenient to commute into Lucerne. A very regular bus service outside the hotel. No frills hotel. Enjoyable stay. Did not eat at the Restaurant

Nice breakfast, free parking

The view over Lake Lucerne was great. Parking was super easy. We left our car at the hotel because we didn’t want to deal with parking in town. The bus stop is just across the street and a straight shot to all we wanted to see in Lucerne. The breakfast was amazing. We would definitely stay again. Highly recommended!

Amazing stay we had at Hotel Balm in Meggen. Only one bus ride away from Lucerne main station. Our room is a family size room and it is very spacious. Very clean and quiet. Breakfast Is The Best out of all the hotels we stayed at in Switzerland for 2 weeks. Such generous variety and freshly served. The hotel does not have lift but Our hostess at check in lobby was most helpful with our heavy luggage. I would highly recommend Hotel Balm to anyone visiting Lucerne.

It was an beautiful place to stay. The staff were so kind and helpful. We payed a little extra to upgrade the room for the view and it was worth it. This was a great hotel to stay at. Would definitely come here again if I didnt live so far.

Property is in a secluded area but only 15mins by bus to Lucerne city. It is perfect if you drive around the area but do not want to drive into Lucerne city center. The property itself is clean but very old school. They also charged chf20 per day for an infant which basically cost nothing extra

Clean hotel, easy to get a bus to central lucerne. Very good breakfast

Lovely, clean property with on-site parking. Very helpful staff. Excellent breakfast. Would definitely recommend!

Clean and quiet room. Excellent view of the lake and mountains. Nice breakfast. No elevators in the hotel.

The property is very clean and in a nice area. The breakfast is wonderful and the room was perfect!

Easy access to Lucerne. Two restaurants--one expensive, the other extremely expensive. Room was comfortable, spacious and clean.

Lakeside. Polite and friendly staff. Easy access to transit.

Nice hotel with cozy and quite spacious rooms. I can only recommend it.

Great place to stay.

Very nice quiet hotel about 20 minutes away from Luzern. Close to the lake, shops and restaurants close. Perfect free parking, internet worked well, good breakfast. What else do you need? Note our room was 2 floors up without elevator, but it was no problem. Also no air conditioning but it was fine because it was a cool day.

Hotel & Restaurant Balm is in Meggan a suburb of Lucerne. The room was lovely & clean but not really a view of the lake. Breakfast was simple but enjoyable with a choice of boiled, scrambled or fried eggs plus a buffet table. Sadly their a la carte restaurant is closed on Mondays & Tuesdays so we were unable to eat there. We walked up the hill to eat at the Meggen Golf Club overlooking beautiful scenery & really good food plus it was affordable. The hotel recommended the local Italian restaurant, but we found the food was overpriced & arrived a little too quickly at the table. It is easy & a beautiful walk into Luzern taking about 1 hour, although you can catch the bus outside the hotel using the free travelcard that the hotel gives to their guests.

Delicious breakfast and beautiful views! Really easy ride on the bus into town especially with the Luzern card that gives you free train and bus rides around the city.

Good place to stay with your family and the hotel is very nice and near to city center bus stop is in front of hotel and very easy

Clean, nice hotel, great breakfast. Very helpful and friendly staff at the front desk.

In spite of being outside old town, it is easy to move from old town to the hotel. bus stop is just in front of the hotel

Both bedroom and bathroom were clean and spacious. Very nice breakfast area. Easy access to buses.

Good location and awesome staff.... free public transportation right in front of the property.

satisfied on Kind and friendly staffs and nice atmosphere of Meggen.

The stay was great. We were upgraded to a larger suit, and given bus passes to use during our stay. The breakfast was fantastic!

Quaint place with beautiful views. Nice staff at front desk. Right on bus line. Rooms were hot and very noisy. Ceiling/floor above us very thisn. Noisy neighbors were up until 2am and we couldn't sleep. Very expensive for the lack of quietness and amenities.

Family run hotel (18 rooms) about 15 min by bus from Lucern train station. Bus stop right in front of hotel. Pleasant and helpful check-in staff. Room was on 3rd floor with no elevator, We were on a 6 day Swiss family trip, so had lot of luggage. Staff helped a bit with luggage, but not having elevator was unexpected. Lucerne was in middle of heat wave. None of the rooms have Air conditioning! Being on 3rd floor, close to roof, made the room even hotter. Even with all windows open, it was difficult to sleep first night. Room only had one small table fan. Next day, upon our request, the staff gave another fan, which made things bearable. Excellent breakfast and service otherwise. The staff was very courteous. Nice area to seat and relax in courtyard. 2nd floor up lake facing views have nice views of mountains and lake. Lake itself is 15 min walk. While checking out we complemented the owner about the stay, hotel and location but she seemed too busy to acknowledge the compliments. We found that bit off putting...

Very good three star hotel , clean , wonderful scenery .

The setting of this hotel is peaceful and relaxing with stunning mountain views. The 15 min bus into Lucerne is easy to navigate and it is well worth it to have a respite from the busy city scene. Our room was spotless, spacious and very comfortable. We loved being able to enjoy the ample Swiss breakfast on the terrace while taking in the gorgeous views. Crisp white linens and silver made it a special occasion. We also enjoyed a wonderful bistro dinner on the terrace and found the price to be on par or even less than in the city. So happy we stayed at this lovely Swiss hotel while visiting Lucerne.

Accessible to places of interest, restaurant and others

What a lovely experience, l recommend travellers to Luzern stay out a bit this property was only 15 minutes by bus which is right out the front of this property. The young gentleman on arrival gave us some wonderful options to see as opposed to the tourist usual spots found on search sites. Lovely breakfast, wonderful view from our room no tea/coffee making facilities in the room but they give you hot water in an flask and cups so you can have a quiet tea or coffee enjoying the views from your room after a long day out. Local restaurants down the road are a short walk good food. If you are going to Luzern stay out a little and enjoy.

This hotel exceeded our expectations. The rooms were spacious and the beds were super comfortable. I loved the neighborhood it was in. Views of the lakes & the mountains all around

The hotel and staff was amazing. They were very supportive when we ended up a few hours earlier than the check in time. They also delighted us with a great breakfast! Will visit again for sure.

Nice quiet place to stay with family. It is apox 15 min away from main area but its worth the stay and has direct access from bus services. Its not a typical hotel and gives one a feeling of staying at home. Friendly staff with big clean rooms and bathroom. Only suggestion is that complimentary amenities like tea, coffee should be provided to guests. Would definitely like to come back for a stay

I would stay here again; comfortable room with terrace view on top floor (but no elevator, so be aware if that would be an issue). Breakfast was good.

Charming hotel with top restaurant and wonderful staff. Free parking. Bus connection to Lucerne. Excellent value for money.

Very good hotel with good amenities. We stayed in a room with a nice balcony and had a fantastic view of the snow capped mountains and Lake Lucerne! Staff was friendly. Good buffet breakfast!

It was a great experience staying in balm hotel. Staffs are very friendly and did their best to help us enjoy our stay. They even upgraded our room to a better one for the same price. We had access to the roof at top and there were two chairs and table placed on top with a marvelous view of lake lucern and mountains covered with snow. It was beyound beauty. We laso had a chance to enjoy balm resturant. It is a bit costly (we paid for dinner more than what we paid for one night stay) but would be a fancy dinner (with candles and high class swiss service) and one of the most memorable moments of your trip. I definitely recommend it. Although the hotel is located a bit far from the chappel bridge and lucern city center but is absolutely easy to reach by taking bus No. 24 and getting down at meggen balm bus station. Also you would be provided lucern visitor card which covers all bus tickets and public transport in city area. Not much variety for Breakfast but good enough. It was very nice with very friendly staff serving omellete and coffee for you beside tasty cheese and different types of breads

Lovely big room with balcony so we could see the mountains and lake. Older building nicely renovated. Service was excellent. Free bus ride into Lucerne.

The Hotel Balm is located about a 12 minute bus ride outside of Lucerne. The hotel has a restaurant and bar. The breakfast provided with the room was excellent. The hotel is conveniently located on the bus route and the hotel provides a local transportation voucher. No elevator but the staff assisted with carrying the luggage up the stairs. Beautiful view of the mountains. Easy parking

Very clean and comfortable hotel. Friendly and helpful staff. We enjoyed our stay in luzern thanks to Hotel Balm. Regret not trying the restaurant.

We had a few nights here and it was wonderful and peaceful! All of the staff were nice and friendly, the view of the lake was beautiful and breakfast was delicious. We also had a lovely lunch in the bistro and dinner in the restaurant. I highly recommend staying here. It is a little out of the bustling and touristy main area of Lucerne, but it is on a direct bus line to the city centre and they give you a free bus pass for the duration of your stay.

Close to all amenities like bus stop, grocery store, restaurant, train Station

Excellent staff, nice little bar, plain but functional and spacious rooms, nice and clean bathrooms, excellent breakfast area, awesome views, and a very convenient bus stop right across the street. Overall, this was a nice little find close to Luzern. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the rooms, although basic, were very comfortable for two adults and two children. I was pleasantly surprised all the way around. I would recommend this hotel to anyone as an alternative to staying in central Luzern.

It was very expensive (CHF 998 + cut tax for 3 nights). Room was small for that price . The area was good. There was frequent bus service from just outside the hotel to lucern main city centre. Breakfast was good. Hotel staffs were very helpful.

The hotel was good. Especially, service was good and employer and employee were kind.

Very lovely hotel with a wonderful front desk staff a wonderful room. We ate at the restaurant but make sure you get a reservation as they are extremely popular. The food and the staff are exceptional. Lucerne is only a quick bus ride down the road to which they give you a day pass so you can explore for free.

We were there for an autumn night stay. A few miles outside of Lucerne but nice to be in the quiet of the suburbs. Hotel is very clean with a modern updated bathroom.

The hotel was very nice. Despite it being far from town, it was clean and the rooms appeared recently updated. The view from our room was great and our daughter loved her little alcove room off the main room. As a bonus, there were a couple of ponies out in the field that she was able to watch eating their breakfast. Would definitely stay here again.

Just outside of Luzern, drove into city for dinner. Very nice breakfast and young gentleman at the reception spoke English very well and very helpful in directibg us around the area!

I stayed with my family for 4 nights in the middle of September. This hotel is located in a quite area, Meggen, close to Lucerne. The room was clean and quiet. In Meggen there are several nice restaurants including this hotel. The only downside is that the room has no refrigerator. Hope to come back here again.

Although located outside the city center, this is one of the best places to stay in Lucern. The fact that it is not right in the city is actually a plus rather than a minus because the area around the hotel is very quiet calm. The hotel is very clean, the staff is super friendly and getting there is really easy: about 15 min by bus #24 from the central train station. Some of the rooms have beautiful views of the lake and from the dining terrace on a clear day you can see the Berner Oberland peaks. Really nice place to stay!

Easy transport to Lucerne- busstop in front of hotel. No elevators. No tea facilities in room. Good breakfast on terrace, good views from here.

Nice staff, close to beach and very comfortable. The breakfast was among the best of my 10-day trip. I also like the lay-out of the room. I definitely will recommend my friend to stay here whin in Luzern!

Our time spent at Hotel Balm was very pleasant. The room was very comfortable and clean. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was included and was good. A couple of things that can be added to the room is a small refrigerator and arrangement for a kettle for tea and coffee. Food in Switzerkand is very expensive so a refrigerator would really help.

The location of the hotel is quite good with the bus right in front of the hotel you can pretty much go to everywhere in Luzern. No elevator, if you have a lot of luggage, the staff (most of the time is a lady) will help you. The view from the restaurant is spectacular, every morning we enjoyed breakfast there with breathtaking mountain view. We also saw rainbow when we had dinner there (please expect paying the dinner more than $350 for two adults and two kids... it was a SURPRISE for us! Don't get me wrong, the food was very nice) The room is quite late 90's feeling with decent size of bathroom. Furniture can be dated (both chairs in our room were unstable). NO AC! And no bug screen over the windows...... We arrived Luzern in a somewhat 90F day, after checking-in we went out without shutting the curtains so when we got back late in the afternoon, the room was hot... we opened windows to cool down the room. Then there were a group of mosquito from the garden entered the room and both of my kids got bit badly, we had a almost sleepless night because of that. Hopefully, they will consider putting bug screen onto all the windows. It is an easy and cheap way compare to having AC installed in every room.

Staff was welcoming and accommodating. Breakfasts were a nice bonus. Mini horses next door thrilled kids to no end.

We had a lovely stay at the Hotel Balm. The staff was genuinely courteous and so helpful. Perfect location for trip into Lucerne via the bus.

Great stay right outside the center of Luzern. We were looking for a hotel with parking but there are not many options in the city center and those that do offer parking are very expensive. This location was great for us as we had a car and we would drive in to the city, paying for parking only for a few hours. The hotel offers free parking so this worked out perfect for us. We had a family suite with beds for 4 people. Lots of space with lots of light due to the many windows facing the front of the hotel. Breakfast was very good and the outdoor terrace offered beautiful views of the mountains. All staff was very nice to us. The only complaint is the bathroom door in the room. This is a opaque glass sliding door, which does not completely shut and offers no privacy whatsoever. There were 4 of us inside the room and this lack of privacy made us all quite uncomfortable. I don`t understand why they chose to install these type of doors!!! Besides the issue with the bathroom door, this is a very nice hotel, conveniently located for visiting the Luzern area, if you have a car.

Started out as a bad experience. Booked this hotel because of the reviews and it being a non-smoking hotel. But the room given to us was reeking of cigarette smoke. But we called the reception to change rooms and they were happy to give us a different room. Rooms are clean and beds were very comfortable. Good view of the lake from the room's balcony. But furniture and decor is old and outdated. Would not recommend this hotel to anyone else. Breakfast was decent.

A very pleasant and well presented hotel, but it should be noted that there is no lift. The food was the best we had during our 10 days in Switzerland, and was charged for accordingly. We were a bit surprised to be charged for a jug of tap water in the evening. But a good choice if you don't want to stay in Lucerne, where there appear to be few hotels with on site parking.

Great hotel and wonderful staff!

We only had one whole day in Switzerland during our Central European vacation. We decide to spend it exploring Mt Pilatus. This lovely and meticulously clean hotel was only 10 km from the gondola and only a few blocks from the lake. The next morning we flew out of Zurich which was also close by. Every staff we passed, greeted us professionally and pleasantly, asking if they could help with anything. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious. We arrived late so were unable to have dinner but the Bistro menu looked delicious. The person at the front desk recommended an Italian restaurant only a few minutes away who remained open late. A great recommendation and delicious as well. The four of us all slept very well in our room which was comfortable and charming. Would highly recommend and return if ever in the area.

A 2 day stay to break a long trip to Italy - great hotel away from the bustle of Lucerne but close enough to all the sites and the lake. Absolutely fantastic food. Wonderful staff.

In terms of value this hotel is really over priced. No Lift, iron, ironing board, tea/ coffee making facilities, low / hard bed, no comfy chairs in the room, poor TV channels, poor breakfast ( just a few items or choice and not much of it plus the same few things for 7 days ) , the " bar " is a joke no choice and expensive ( £35 for 3 Brandies ) the list is endless. Enjoy a meal in the Restaurant and run up a bill circa £150 for two in a heart beat !! Unless you have plenty of cash and little desire for comfort, then stay away.

Good, close to city

A very clean hotel in the most wonderful setting, some of the rooms have views of the mountains! Staff very helpful. I ate there on my first night, in the Bistro section. The food is what I can only describe as "high-end ridiculous". Extremely expensive, and very confusing, such as 'wasabi ice cream' and raspberries, oranges and melon pieces, mixed into the gravy of the meat dish!! Portions of rice, so small that they almost weren't worth bothering with. I can only assume the the customers eating in the 'posh' section of the restaurant had better experiences, or more money than taste.the other aspects of the hotel are all excellent. Such a shame. I would have preferred more 'honest' food.

Wonderful hotel . Had spacious balcony ,very private . The view was wonderful . The local bus stopped right in front of hotel. The restraunt was closed but looked upscale. Only negative was no elevator . However the hotel staff helped with my luggage.

when i went there it wasn't busy as normal, cuz Jan, this hotel contained river view, one thing i didn't like most about was unfriendly old female staff who around 60ish~70ish was working to serve the tea or coffee at breakfast, i just normally don't drink any coffee or tea she was staring me strangely than i just saw what she was doing grumbling to me , lol apart from her everyone was frienly , nice , but you need to know there doesn't have any lift , jaja anyway compare to standard of SWISS prices. it was not bad,

I took the superior room - well worth it. Pros: 1. Sweeping mountain and lake views 2. Big balcony 3. Good sized room 4. Very clean and comfortable 4. Great staff 5. Great breakfast 6. Short bus ride to Lucern proper. Cons: 1. Small tv 2. Switzerland is generally very expensive This was the best overall hotel experience in my European holiday.

Beautiful setting, great view from hotel room and dining area. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
