Its an alright hotel, it's a bit outdated, and the room was fine but nothing special. The listing also says it's in the center of town, and it is about a twenty-minute walk or a mile from Paradiso.

The room was very "okay". In need of updating and some deep clean. The wallpaper was peeling and there were some bad glue jobs that were kind of creepy. Looked like some sort of bug had been glued into the base board. View was nice from our room. Worst part of the two night stay was when we went to check out the front desk person (Richard or Richardo) said we had to settle up a couple things like breakfast and the city tax. I told him we didn't have the breakfast as we never get it as we rarely eat breakfast. He said, "well ...how about the second day????" I said, "No....we did not have the breakfast!" With this he said, "Well someone said they saw you eating breakfast." I said firmly, "we did not have breakfast!" Thinking back the reality of this is I hardly think someone said, "When that Canadian couple check out I bet they will say they didn't have breakfast!!!!" Is this just a ploy to call people out that may have stolen breakfast. In retrospect I should have demanded to speak to the manager and ask for compensation for this act!! All in all not impressed at all with the hotel and would not return. Room was priced high for what it was. 18 CHF for parking that was easy

Timeless summer spot

Perfect location in Lugano. The hotel is definitely a bit dated and aged, but in that nice summer holiday family vibe, not bad at all. Breakfast was fantastic. Rooms could definitely benefit from a few more little amenities like extra pillows, a safe, etc.

A little outside of the downtown area, but a short Uber ride away. My room had a gorgeous view of the lake and surrounding mountains and lovely balcony. Very clean, friendly staff and air-conditioning that was a big relief on a hot, humid June day.

We reported that our air conditioner was not working. The air conditioner in the adjoining room that we rented WAS working. The property manager tried to tell us that they don't turn on the air conditioning until June. We did not believe that statement for one minute. The hallways were cool. Our second room was cool. When we spoke to the front desk initially, they said someone would look at it. Noone ever did. Then the manager tries to give us a speech about how we are all helping the environment. Nope. We paid for air conditioning. Also, our mini fridge was not working. The one in our second room was working. We reported it and were told that that is how it is. Our bottles of water would be served at room temperature. So, it really wasn't a fridge, but a storage unit. Nope! Also, this property is advertised as having ceiling fans. We didn't see or feel a single one. Misadvertised!

Very dated decor and basic furnishings. Room was cramped and the walls were very thin. Had a room with a connecting door and could hear everything in the adjoining room. Difficult to get a good night’s sleep and do any work in the morning. Location is okay but not particularly scenic for Lugano. Staff at reception were very friendly and welcoming. Lugano is expensive but at over 200 CHF a night this felt very overpriced.
