Hotel Des Balances

Hotel Des Balances

8/10 Good
"It’s an expensive hotel BUT you are on the river!! Pretty much ZERO room amenities so that was disappointing. The River is the amenity. Dinner WAS terrific. $$$$ I’m glad we stayed but this was my 4th hotel in Switzerland in the past 2 weeks as we traveled around and it was by far the most expensive and definitely had the least amenities. All other hotels had fantastic coffee stations, water, sodas, ice cream bars, a tote! And so much more."

The Lubo - self check-in

8/10 Good
"The Lubo is a quick bus ride or walk from the train station. It's not hard to find and the staff at the bar/Cafe downstairs are very helpful. Check in is easy on the phone or the kiosk. The most difficult part is the stairs in the hotel and finding the room. There are a few stairs to get into the hotel and on every floor. Make sure you are not travelling with a million suitcases. I would go scout out your room first. Otherwise, for the price and location, the hotel is great. There's a mini kitchenette that we didn't use and close to everything."

"The hotel is a smaller boutique style building a very safe neighborhood. It has several metro stations nearby and from outside you can the Eifel Tower. There are many seasonably priced cafes and restaurants around the hotel. It is nice, clean, and safe. The staff is welcoming, breakfast was good, and everything was clean. I will stay here again and recommend it to my friends and family."
