Excellent location (just a short walk down the hill from the train station), wonderful staff, delicious breakfast! We enjoyed our stay very much! The beds were comfortable, there was plenty of food to chose from during breakfast and we received answers to all the questions we had. The hotel has its own history which we found very interesting to see in all the pictures that were up on the walls.

2 nights would have been sufficient for us.
2 nights would have been sufficient for us. We took a day trip to Bellinzona and visited most of the popular attractions and had time to spare.
We are not shoppers or people who like to hang out next to a pool and relax. If you are that type of person, the lake is beautiful and the shopping
options are abundant.

Lugano is an exceptional peaceful small city where you can enjoy the best views of the lake. Much better place to be compared to Como the busy crowded city.
We totally loved this city and all the things that offers from good food and pleasant historic buildings as well as friendly people.

Lugano is beautiful!
Lugano is beautiful! Walking by the lake, sitting by it in chairs provided for free to the public, taking a boat ride, riding the funicular up to the mountain to see the views, all great! City bus transportation excellent.

Everything within walking distance or short bus/train/...
Everything within walking distance or short bus/train/funicular away. Great beach, amazing scenery. Lots of great restaurants. So Many points of interest to see, we unfortunately didn’t have time to do it all, but we enjoyed taking the funicular to Monte Bre, boat excursion to Melide, train to Bellizone to see the castles… Guess we’ll need to come back to see the rest!
Excellent location high above Lake Lugano with views towards and of the lake. Very friendly and welcoming staff in the hotel and restaurant. Comfortable, good-sized room, very comfortable bed. Very clean throughout. The restaurant is excellent - great food, very helpful and friendly staff. There is a lovely terrace overlooking the lake. It is very easy to park at the hotel and we had no concerns about safety. If you are passing through as we were, there is no need to change any money into Swiss francs, as the hotel and restaurant accept cards.
Absolutely fantastic stay, from start-to-finish! The location was perfect, with ample on-site parking. There is free public transport available, included in the price of the room and a bus stop outside the hotel, with the bus taking around 10 minutes to reach the centre.
The rooms was clean and comfortable, with air conditioning. The staff were fantastic and the 1950s style diner on site was amazing!
Lugano was the most beautiful place that we stayed at, in Switzerland and if we came back again, this is where we would want to stay.
The location of the hotel is ideal, directly overlooking Lake Lugano in the Paradiso section of town, and a pleasant 15 minute walk to the center. The building itself is gorgeous and while the hotel itself is pretty run down (it has a 1970s feel), the lack of any attempt to make it more luxurious means it is good value for money. In fact, the decor throughout the hotel looks like the owners spent a lot of time rummaging around at yard sales looking for an assortment of kitsch items.
The hotel itself is in Lugano Paradiso, it is a little bit far away from Lugano Centre. But I would recommend to stay in Paradiso since it is near the lake with splendid view.
In booking the photos seem quite old-fashioned but in reality it is much better. The room and facilities were new. The room and bathroom were spacious.
We were served fresh breakfast.
The lady who worked there was very friendly and helped us a lot in providing blankets and sockets.
This hotel close to the main train station shares it’s lovely grounds with a hostel. Our room had a balcony but no curtains across the glass doors. Fortunately, there were shutters that could be closed to block the morning light and some of the train station noise. The bathroom is small and bath gel is provided only in little pouches. The bed is comfy and they provided an extra pillow on request. There a small frig and welcome AC in this warm part of Switzerland.
Quiet location above Lugano, large rooms with proper AC. Staff pleasant and helpful. Large outside pool was appreciated by all. Breakfast buffet was reasonable, but low fat/low sugar options were few. Restaurant in the evening offers buffet or pizza. Neither were great, but the local restaurant about 9 min walk away called Balmelli was superb (fab food prepared by 2 Italian Chefs, lovely service and reasonably priced within Switzerland for the standards).
Nice place , nice view , very friendly people , they help me , when my bag is cracked ,and I fixed my bag because reception helped me , honestly next time my visit to lugano , I will stay in collibri hotel , which is related to my nice apartment, but it was 18 minutes to lugano Centro by bus number 12, it's the only one goes center , but it deserve to stay in the mountain with fortunella apartment
The garden and the lido are amazing! Breakfast has a very nice choice and when you can have it outside with the view to the garden it is super nice. Also all the staff is very good trained and does an excellent job. We also already stayed in several other 4 and 5 start hotels in Ticino, compared to the other option the price/ value ratio is here great!
Really nice hotel, the rooms were spacious - we travelled with our two kids, plenty of space for all of us, nice breakfast. The view was very nice, the location is near bus and train stations, one can easily reach Lugano from there. Nice touch with the complimentry water, wine and specific cookies.
The hotel is exactly the name :) it's just across the central bus stop. Staffs are super friendly, and makes your stay feel homely. The room is super small though. But overall had a great time in Lugano. Would defo stay at this hotel again!
5 star resort beautifully located on a hill with a breathtaking view over "Lago die Lugano". We felt absolutely welcomed by the hotel team and the complimentary services such as tennis courst and bike rentals were more than convenient.
Atmosphera in this hotel like in my grandmother home. Everything very good organized, Just love it. Thank you very much for great vacation. All arrond mounts, lake is a beautiful. Very clean. Breakfast is so good.
The location of the hotel is second to none. I can view lake Lugano from the balcony of my room. In addition, the hotel is close to Lugano center and Parco Cianii. The hotel also serves very good breakfast.
A really nice hotel located few steps from the lake, in the historic centre of Lugano. Super friendly staff, clean room and nice view on the street and the lake.
