Fantastic location, friendly staff and clean

yes

Stuff 's are so lovely. specially in reception.

-The location is really good and central

- Room was too hot and no AC only a fan was provided.

Could not ask for a better central location than this hotel. You step out straight into the heart of Lugano with a supermarket less than a few steps away. The staff were also beyond helpful and so friendly.

Whilst everything was relatively clean, it was very basic and hostel like with the shower and sink in the same room as the bedroom. The furniture and decoration was very old and dated and the bed was very thin and not very comfortable. Additionally, there was no air conditioning only a table top fan which did not do much and resulted in me being unable to sleep the entire night due to the heat. Additionally, a large print of a photograph was hung above the bed and not secured properly and due to this fell and hit me on the head. For the money, you get what you pay for and I would recommend for the location and somewhere quick to stay, but there are definitely nicer hotels out there.

Location perfect, great service

Great location, a short walk to the lake and piazza

Wifi was intermittent, no usable power sockets, think it may have been CH specific connection.

Location, great, very central, staff were friendly and helpful.

facilities in room very basic.

Location and nothing else

Super small, awkward toilet, no aircon, no service, outdated, hall looked bad as well, I can’t believe such a great location is kept in such poor condition. Worst I ever seen in Switzerland

Very central, staff was very nice and helpful. Huge new smart TV.

The room was very small for three beds, the tub to shower in the bathroom not big enough to take a proper shower. Everything felt very old. Soundproofing not very good either. I believe there are some updated rooms if you looked at the pictures, our room was not one of those.

Location!

N/a

You're primarily paying for the location. The room was exceptionally clean, and the beds were comfortable. If you don't plan to spend too much time indoors, it is a good place.

While functional, the facilities are quite dated and could benefit from renovation.

Clean, simple, good located

Location. Friendly staff.

N/A

Location is excellent right in the heart of the city on the main shopping street and just one block away from the lakeside. It was very easy to reach from the trainstation with the city-funicular, and served well as a base for our stay. The staff was nice and helpful.

The hotel is not particularly beautiful but if you are looking rather a place a abase for your stay, and spending most of the time explorig outside, then this is a perfect solution. Breakfast was not included but the reception recommended some places near by.
