Hotel near train station and funicular. Nice view and walk way in to the Centre. Steep downhill with lots of shop, center with many good restaurants.
Room was very small and bathroom tiny.
Breakfast was good.
It was great! The staffs were nice and helpful especially Paolo for being very friendly! The room and bathroom were spacious! The restaurant served delicious dinners and breakfast! We enjoyed it very much and had a great time!
This was a lovely and well maintained hotel. Our room was spacious, comfortable, and very clean. The hotel has a lovely courtyard where you can enjoy breakfast, and it’s walking distance from the main train station and down the hill from the main shopping and dining area in Lugano. We really enjoyed our stay there.
Really great and quaint hotel, valet for our car was nice and safe. Area around the hotel was very nice and alive at night, the lake is close by as well
Excellent service. They didn’t miss a thing. They treated us like royalty. Accommodations were top notch. A variety of food options that provided exquisite flavors. We will stay here next time without a doubt.
Nice staff and hotel is right on perfect location. You can walk down from Lugano station. Breakfast is good. Shopping is walking down from hotel and the area is centralized. Will stay here again.
Most importantly was the very friendly staff, everyone seemed like they were happy to have us.Very close to train station and city center. Very nice breakfast and dinning room.Would stay their again
