Worst check on ever and hotels.com no help at all they had overbooked the hotel and even though we had paid and confirmed reservations from nov last year. The receptionist was so rude saying he couldn’t help us stating he wasn’t going to put himself on a cross for us!! Told us to get a refund and go find ourselves a room. They did give us alternative accommodation so far out of town and three hrs after our arrival. As I said disgusting service i have never been spoken to in such a rude manner and no regard for us at all

Location is excellent and the manager was great to accommodate our request to change our room. The setup in this hotel was odd and two rooms had a sharing bathroom which was next to our room. Every time they used the bathroom we could hear the flushing and bathroom door. The second night the manager changed our room to different floor and we had a good night sleep.

Ideal location
The location was perfect. Our room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The downside was that the ceiling fan and lights in our room did not work, and the bedding was too small for the bed. The top sheet and comforter were not wide enough to cover two people.

Location is outstanding and is in the middle of the old town within 10walk from the train station and a block form Lake Lugano. The check-in staff were very friendly and very helpful whenever we had questions. One thing that could be improved is to respond to customer issues. Our shower head fell and broke. We reported the issue and it wasn’t fixed for two days before we left. We basically used a hose for shower for a couple of days. I believe this is something simple that could be fixed relatively fast and it didn’t make sense it wasn’t fixed before we left. I would stay here again for sure.

Great location. Breakfast included which was just ok. The WiFi is free but the wifi can be a little slow. The walls are very thin and you can hear everything. The space is very small. No water given and the room was all little stuffy.
