I gave this hotel a 4 because the room was very noisy and next to the elevator. The elevator started running early in the morning and was very loud; the hotel amenities close at 7:00. As we travelled from a different time zone, I would have appreciated a quiet room in am and being able to use the pool later at night.

A pearl on the lake of Lugano
Truly excellent in all aspects. The location, service, breakfast and the pool and spa areas are very well maintained. What sets this apart is the friendliness (& effectiveness) of the staff and their attention to every detail. Highly recommended
