Great modern boutique hotel in beautiful Lugano

The hotel was very modern and clean and close to the railway station (2 stops away). The staff were all friendly. Small breakfast buffet was great. I would stay at this hotel again definitely and highly recommend it to anyone who would stay in Lugano.

Hotel a little out of the main centre but only takes ten minutes to walk there. Near a bus stop to the station. Everything felt new and efficient. Room quite expensive, maybe because there aren't lots of hotels in Lugano. Room itself was sizable.
