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.

Great hotel, the location and the view were very nice. The room was very comfortable and the staff very attentive. The breakfast included with our stay was very generous and out of this world. We were very happy with our stay at this hotel.

Great view of Lake Lugano - but there is a building site with 2 large cranes that suggests that in a year or so that view might be obscured by a new block. Our room was value for money but the hotel seemed to us to need investment, pretty much from top to bottom. Breakfast was good.

We stayed for the night - honestly we weren't that crazy about Lugano as a city so maybe that effected our experience. Hotel is nice but average - do not expect an actual lake view.

Pleasant but a bit dated.
Stayed for two one-night stays as part of a road trip, different rooms each time. Pros: the interconnecting rooms for a family are very convenient and the beds are comfortable. Cons: the hotel feels strikingly dated in terms of decor and amenities. We could not use European adaptors as they would not fit; there are no USB charging points in the rooms.The breakfast is ok but not a huge selling point, and we found it overall a bit soulless though it is convenient to be able to eat there in the evening as it is a distance from the centre of Lugano. For the money I felt it did not offer great value; however it was a cheaper option in the location so perhaps I am expecting too much. None of the reviews mentioned the train line behind the property! Not a deal breaker but hat means frequent and quite noticeable noise. Staff generally pleasant and helpful; a good pit-stop overall
