Gorgeous location and beautiful views (particularly from the breakfast room). The room was comfortable and modern. The front desk staff was super super helpful and couldn't have been more friendly and welcoming to us.

Its location is perfect. Right next to a bus stop to the station, right behind it is a grocery and department store. Get a room with a view of the lake, it’s worth it! Breakfast is also very good, lots of variety.

Well located hotel. Enjoyed having the balcony overlooking the Lake. Bed was quite comfortable. Bathroom was very small and shower is uncomfortably narrow. Breakfast was good with a lot of variety.

The lake views are spectacular, the room was comfortable, and the air conditioning worked exceptionally well, which was greatly appreciated during our stay. The breakfast room also has beautiful lake views. The breakfast was decent, although the bread selection didn’t seem like the quality or variety you’d typically expect in Europe. Our main issues were the ants and the nighttime noise. We had ants in the entryway, second bedroom, and bathroom despite having no open food. Housekeeping cleaned the room after we reported it, but the ants were still there afterward. For a hotel charging over $300 per night, I expected better. At the very least, a small credit or discount would have been an appropriate gesture since the problem wasn’t resolved. The other issue was loud techno music until around 1:00 a.m. Even with noise-canceling headphones, the bass made it difficult to sleep. The front desk staff were polite, but when we asked about bike rentals, they only guessed it was “somewhere in the nearby plaza.” We couldn’t find it and ended up locating another rental shop ourselves using Apple Maps. I’d expect staff to be familiar with common tourist questions like this. Overall, you’re paying for the incredible lake views. Most of the issues would have been forgivable, but the unresolved ant problem was not.

Staff at check out was unwilling to help and when I said I have to share this in the review she helped while complaining about having helped my wife with directions earlier for 15 minutes, while I was asking her to change the payment method.

A great place to stay right in the heart of the action. If you’re arriving/leaving by train the No 4 bus calls into a stop mètres from the front door.

A very good place to stay for a few days in Lugano, right in front of the beautiful lake and in the best area of the city for exploring on foot. The staff were extremely kind, and the room was very comfortable, except for the bathtub, whose base is curved rather than flat, making it somewhat unsafe in terms of maintaining balance.
