Location was right across the street from the lake. Easily walk to the bus stop, the boat dock, and numerous restaurants. The view of the lake from our balcony was incredible!

One of worst hotel experiences in my life. First impression negative due to the night club downstairs. Room in poor conditions (see pictures), a lot of noise from outside, air conditioner difficult to use, and even when off it makes a disturbing noise. On the positive side the common areas have interesting decorations, breakfast is ok (in a nice balcony with a beautiful view over the lake), the location is relatively convenient, the personell is friendly.

Location is good, by the lake though a bit outside of the center. It's an old hotel with squeaky floors and noisy heaters. Breakfast was basic, but understandable in the Covid context. But for one night it was okay.

Run down, unloved hotel in need of renovation. Staff is lackluster. Disco / Gentlemen’s Club on ground floor. (Escorts available) Seedy! Decent breakfast.

Lovely location by the lake but hotel itself is very dingy and dated. Didn’t feel too secure as there are two entrance to the hotel one of which totally bypasses the hotel reception so anyone could enter and go up to the rooms without being seen. Seedy nightclub attached to the hotel doesn’t do the ambience any favours.

The view from our balcony was breathtaking. The hotel exuded old world charm and european elegance. Although dated it was clean and staff helpful and friendly. The continental breakfast was excellent presented in lovely surroundings.

We booked the hotel understanding it was a 3 star, it's far from it! I have stayed in many 3 star hotels over the last 20 years and this isnt one. It may have been in the 50s or 60s but 50 years later is well.. dated, and old fasioned. The air condidtioning was incredibly noisy, the french doors didn't open and the light (fluorescent!) in the bathrom didnt work.

We made a last minute booking for a hotel on Lake Lugano. We paid an extra few £ for a lake view. We were not disappointed. The room was on the 3rd floor and had a balcony large enough for a small table and two chairs. We had beautiful weather so it added to the romance of the location. The room was beautifully decorated (it was nice to have a carpeted floor). We happened upon the vernicular railway to the top of San Salvatore - brilliant. It was all fantastic. Would highly recommend staying here.

I loved this place! It was my first time in the Lugano area, but hopefully won’t be the last. The hotel was great. Actually, I barely even remember the room because we spent most of our time on the balcony enjoying the incredible room. But I can say the staff was very kind and helpful, and everything was in good condition. I also loved that we could easily walk to all the restaurants, stores, etc. even though it’s not a Lugano address.

The hotel was built in the 1880s so it is old but very charming and clean. I look for hotels like this with character. I stayed 5 days and did not want to leave why the amazing fantastic view from your private balcony overlooking Lake Lugano. And great price breakfast very nice

The hotel has a late check-in (until midnight), which was perfect as my flight was delayed! The breakfast was standard with nice croissants and bread but could have done with more healthy options and the room was clean but extremely dated and memory foam pillows. The location was good, right by the lake and train station and restaurant views are amazing. The slightly strange thing is the nightclub on the ground floor which gave the wrong impression!

This hotel has seen better days. It is below average for Switzerland, which is known for modern, stylish hotels and hotel rooms. The staff was not particularly friendly and the breakfast was minimal, compared to what is offered generally by Swiss hotels, inns and B&Bs.

Great. When people say squeaky floors - it's an understatement. The place is dated, but that is an experience in itself. The staff was awesome and very helpful, if I go back to Lugano, I will stay here again, mostly because I can't afford the nice the places. This would hold true for me, for most places though.
