The location is relatively convenient. It's *right* next to the funicular for lugano central station. The HVAC was amazing and the bed was comfortable. The restroom was one of the better layouts. They had lots of free value adds. Breakfast was one of the better ones. Less than 10 minutes alking distance to basically everything you could need.

Great hotel close to Lugano city center, including a reasonably priced garage (18.- CHF per day). The room was cozy, with a small balcony having a nice lake view. Dinner was incredible and the waiters were very helpful and nice. I highly recommend having dinner and drinks at the hotel, it's really worth it! Breakfast was good, with a wide variety of products and fresh fruit. I will definitely come back if in Lugano area.

    Such a beautiful city on the side of the lake. It's so relaxing and a nice mix of Swiss efficiency and cleanliness with Italian charm and rustic. Lots of chances for walks and swimming and other things to do.

    So many shops and restaurants so nearby. No transportation needed. Funicular was great from train station to town center. Lake Lugano great view. Switzerland was not as expensive as everyone says. Free bus and train. Reasonable meal and drinks.

    The lake was absolutely stunning! No wonder moslims see this area as ‘heaven on earth’ as it surely is! It’s very very clean with beautiful expensive shops. Lugano itself isn’t cheap, similar to the south of France.

    We loved Lugano - it's a relatively small city so 1-2 days are enough to explore. We went over to Lake Como on the Italian side one day and that was a fun visit. The other day we took a boat to Morcote which is a BEAUTIFUL village I highly recommend visiting. Then we took a funicular up to Mont San Salvatore which was also a wonderful visit. Lastly, we spent some time in the Lugano city center walking to Parco Ciani and just shopping and hanging out. It's like a pretty, clean, less touristy version of Italy.

    It is so so beautiful here. I only had 24 hours, which felt too chaotic. You could really slow down and explore for much longer. Also, be prepared for pretty pricey food and drinks. Luckily, it was all delicious, but definitely on the more expensive side.

    Excellent hotel, within (relatively) easy walking distance of the Lugano train station (average 5 min - 3 min down, 7 minutes up). The hotel itself is cozy and "old skool" (you get REAL keys!), the staff is friendly, helpful and efficient, and everything works and is scrupulously clean (it is Switzerland, after all). The breakfast is excellent, as is dinner in the evening.
