Having to share a bathroom with other guests. There were a pair of underwear hanging in the shower when I went to shower. It was so hot and there were no fans. The furniture in the hallway was so dirty. We booked rooms in other hotels for 4 of our 5 nights that I had booked here.

I really loved my stay here! It was one of the highlights of my trip as the hostel is really beautiful, lovely staff and great pool area with a view of the mountains! The lady at reception recommended I take the breakfast buffet as well and it was amazing! Every food you could ever dream of in a beautiful setting! Definitely a 10/10, would highly recommend!

This property was fantastic for the price. It was super clean and the staff was fantastic. Super close to train station for daily excursions. My daughter was in the hostel next door with her study abroad program. This could not have been better. Such a beautiful place and within walking distance to town. Loved it!!

This place was perfect for ours. Free parking. Cute (but small room). Close to funicular for getting to water. Could easily walk too. And the pool (with pool bar) was a treat after a day of walking around in the heat. Very happy. Not the cheapest though.

Hotel with Character.
Hotel with character, positioned in beautiful fern gardens. Good facilities. Good buffet breakfast in adjacent sister hotel. Next to railway station. Short walk to lake. Steep hill but okay if you are healthy.

Private room had a gorgeous view and the place was in a great location. Train station is loud, but that’s on the map and headphones exist so if that bothers you then stay home. Top value in Lugano for dollars spent, hands down.
