What people say

We liked the view of the lake and the roof top terrace. Breakfasts were nice. The rooms were comfortable with a sofa and chairs, the bathroom was large, spotlessly clean and modern. A kettle and selection of teas was provided in our room. Staff were very friendly and helpful, and there was free access to the internet in the first floor sitting/reading room. This is a great hotel. Must have balcony with view of the lake. Roof topjacusi in the morning was fantastic. Great breakfast. Great location.
all reviews » Fantastic view, great location, water kettle. The room had magnificent views!!. Excellent location. position, kindly staff, library and internet facilities. amazing view- we stayed in room 66 and we could practically see all the lake! And, although it was freezing outside, the room was very comfortably heated. Excellent! and as far as cleanliness is concerned, it was impecable, honestly spotless!. Staff was accomodating and attentive. the staff were amazing. The view. We have been to Switzerland about 15 times, and of those, to Luganoabout 14 so I think we can say with some authority that this hotel isone of the better 3 star establishments in the city. The creaturecomforts include even a kettle and tea/coffee in the room, which is anice touch and not often found in Switzerland. The staff were in themain helpful, and the breakfasts were more than adequate. Fantastic view and location. Great breakfast. Friendly helpful staff.Location and price. Location. The location was great and the staff was very helpful. Air conditioning worked very well. Good location.The location and the view. the balcony in our room. We loved having a balcony and it was good to be able to make a cup of tea. The breakfast was also ery good. Excellent location right on the lake front and near the centre of town. Good position overlooking the lake, and the Old Town behind. Right in the middle of Lugano so could be abit noisy, with major road between hotel and lake, otherwise excellebnt position. The location is amazing and the staff was nice.No parking. They have some spaces in the square but you have to book inadvance. Otherwise all is perfect. The room was a little overheated at times, and we had to open the window, even though it was snowing outside. Towels could have been better. Based on what it is offering, 134 euro per night for a double room is a little bit higher than what it's worth. I think that 100 euros would suffice. Also, poor amenities.After 10 days the breakfast selection got a bit tiring, but overall the location and the selections were good. Balconies were great. I am mildly asthmatic and to find the temperature setting waspermanently set at 21c seemed to nullify, in our view, the whole pointof airconditioning. Light sleepers might find the location next to amain thoroughfare a problem; we didn't!. The double room was quite sufficient, but the single room was only slightly bigger than a closet. The bathroom was renovated, but parts of the room furniture still needs to be renovated (bed side lamps, TV, etc.). We found the rooms very small and cramped. There was a lot of noise from the main road outside the hotel. Although the hotel was adequate, the bedrooms and interior could do with painting.. The restaurant attached to the hotel was not that good, but that did not really matter as there were plenty of reasonable near by. The room was just terrible. The shower, the bed... The deco is from the 70's and its just really old. I would never recommend this Hotel.
