Overall Ratings & Reviews Hotel & Hostel Montarina

The hotel is close to the station, don’t have private restrooms but the price is good.

Booked at the hotel side. Great location close to train and funicular to town. Front desk was always super helpful

This place was a true gem, gorgeous grounds and a stunning historical building with 12 foot ceilings and huge windows. The beds were comfortable and the bath very clean, we loved the tropical flowers and plants and enjoyed a fantastic Italian meal at the restaurant. The decor was tasteful and inviting. Everyone was very nice and helpful, we wish we could have stayed longer to explore Lugano but we had a train to catch in the morning.

The staff are very kind, the room was cozy. 5min walk from the station.

Great spot by the train station. Room small but nice and clean for the 3 of us. Aircon was great in the heat when we stayed. Staff extra helpful. Cooking facilities were great and not too crowded at meal time. Breakfast in the nearby shared hotel was excellent.. kept us going for the day. Would stay here again. We were 1 adult and a 12 and a 14 year old (girls). Highly recommend.

Having to share a bathroom with other guests. There were a pair of underwear hanging in the shower when I went to shower. It was so hot and there were no fans. The furniture in the hallway was so dirty. We booked rooms in other hotels for 4 of our 5 nights that I had booked here.

Amazing would come back!

All. Was. Okey. People who vacumms. Very. Kind. And she talks. And laugh. The only thing bad is towel. Costs. Service towel is service. hotel yes or. Yes

Unfortunately, there was construction outside which kept us up most of the night. Not the hotels fault.

We had an amazing stay at the montarina! We studied abroad and stayed here so it was wonderful to be back!

Right next to train/bus station. You have option to bring food and cook for yourself. Accommodations matched the price of a night. Easy access to the city center.

Good kitchen with good utensils.

Don’t forget to get the Breakfast. It is wonderful!

I really loved my stay here! It was one of the highlights of my trip as the hostel is really beautiful, lovely staff and great pool area with a view of the mountains! The lady at reception recommended I take the breakfast buffet as well and it was amazing! Every food you could ever dream of in a beautiful setting! Definitely a 10/10, would highly recommend!

Very nice and quiet. Convenient

This property was fantastic for the price. It was super clean and the staff was fantastic. Super close to train station for daily excursions. My daughter was in the hostel next door with her study abroad program. This could not have been better. Such a beautiful place and within walking distance to town. Loved it!!

This place was perfect for ours. Free parking. Cute (but small room). Close to funicular for getting to water. Could easily walk too. And the pool (with pool bar) was a treat after a day of walking around in the heat. Very happy. Not the cheapest though.

Hotel with character, positioned in beautiful fern gardens. Good facilities. Good buffet breakfast in adjacent sister hotel. Next to railway station. Short walk to lake. Steep hill but okay if you are healthy.

Pleasant place, good service.

Private room had a gorgeous view and the place was in a great location. Train station is loud, but that’s on the map and headphones exist so if that bothers you then stay home. Top value in Lugano for dollars spent, hands down.
