Overall Ratings & Reviews B5 Boutique Hotel Lugano

The hotel was fine and very modern . There was no one at the front desk to answer questions I have a major complaint. During our stay, there was a breakfast buffet arranged in the lobby. There was no price on it. And there was no one at the desk for us to confirm whether breakfast was included or not. I assumed that this was for the guest and and I took the breakfast. My husband who was staying with me also got coffee for one or two days. Again, no one told us that breakfast was not included in our service and they did not tell us the actual price of the breakfast. Afterwards, I have been charged $199 for taking breakfast at the hotel for four days. This is unacceptable if I had known that the breakfast was expensive I would not have had anything. They were cheaper pay places to get coffee and a croissant outside the hotel.

Great hotel itself. Easily accessible to train station also bus transportation.

Excellent. Will definitely return.

Reasons to stay here: Close to train station & funicular that lowers you to old town & lake. Clean property & rooms Friendly, attentive staff Unique aesthetic & decor Adequate breakfast selection Quiet hotel

The shower was a bit confusing, but once I got it working, it was amazing!! Haha best shower I’ve had.

Very nice place and very easy to access!! Easy to access the train which was very nice

The place is conveniently located near the train station as well as the funicular to go to the lake promenade. They are between 5 to 10 minutes walk from the hotel respectively. Daniel was very prompt in responding with whatever we need figured out in the room besides being nice and helpful. Thank you, Daniel; you made our stay wonderful!

It was great.

Ottimo Hotel vicino al centro e stazione. Cortese e perfetta l accoglienza. Stanza pulita , forse un po' piccola . Molte scale.

Good location near train station. The shower curtain is very smelly and the shower room tend to choke up after shower leaving the floor very wet.

Very clean, bright hotel and room. The breakfast was delightful.

The hotel is lovely. We had 2 rooms booked and paid the same for both. 1 had a deck, a safe, a fridge and a closet. The other had none of those things. We felt a little overcharged for one room. Daniel at the front desk was very helpful with maps and gave is a discount card for some train and bus rides. All very enjoyable.

Great location. Next to train station and Lugano market. Hotel gave us a travel pass which included most of the public transport.

I highly recommend. Very comfortable great location. Staff very helpful. Would definitely come again

The owner and staff were gracious and capable. We arrived under stressful circumstances, having to find a different place late in the day. Daniel, at the front desk, waited after his shift to check us in. The room was spotless and comfortable. Hermelina makes a wonderful cafe latte. The only negative is that the breakfast is sparse—cereal, bread, croissants, yogurt, but no eggs.

Good, quiet and clean. It’s a utilitarian sort of hotel perfect for a short stay on a budget. It is a little confusing to find but once you know where you’re going it’s easy to locate and close to downtown on foot.

Good location, a quick walk from the train station. Staff was very accommodating.

Beautiful setting and very welcoming staff. Would highly recommend, especially for those travelling by train as station is 5 minute walk away.

Loved the location of this hotel! So easy to jump off the train and make a short walk there, with very clear signs guiding the way. (If you cannot carry your luggage up stairs, don’t use it as there are a lot and no elevator.) Other than that, the manager was wonderful, the room great, And the convenience of getting to the train and the Funicular to the lovely downtown makes it a great stay!

Initially I was not too excited about the location. After staying I have changed my view. There is the public transit pass the hotel provides. It is very short distance and easy to walk to the train station. The old town is very walkable and interesting. The lake front is a nice walk. The breakfast was fine and the outside area very nice.
