Only 200 yards from the train station, straight down, a little difficult to find, but visible if you know where to look. Easy walk to the hotel, but difficult with bad knees.

We arrived in Lugano by train and the hotel is just across the road from the station, albeit many metres down the hill. No problem there are semi gentle ramps to the hotel front door. The staff at reception were jolly and helpful to say the least. Online check in streamlined the process and should be used at other hotels. This is a great innovation. Up the elevator and into the room. Spectacular room with amazing views of the town, lake and mountains from the balcony. A superb bed and air conditioning, blockout blinds nice bathroom made me wish I was staying longer. Not far back to the station for the Bernina express in the morning. Catch the funicular from the church next door or push your bags up the ramps if you are a bit fit. My only wish is there was the option of a plain sheet instead of the Swiss dogonas available on the beds in summer. This would be a greener option on hot nights.

Short family stop in Lugano. Great location and easily accessible to downtown and the lake. It was a very nice room, the a/c worked well and the bathroom was a nice size. Breakfast was lovely.

Good but overpriced
As other reviewers noted... even four years ago, the rooms and bathrooms are really dated, at least the one we got. That said, it was incredibly clean and comfortable but just be prepared for a very old hotel. Dinner was good and breakfast was fine. There are some great views from the balcony if your room has one. Service was very good.
