Construction site just outside the window that started up at 7 every morning.

The hotel was good. There's a lot of construction at the moment across the street (where our window opened out to) and so that is quite loud. They couldn't give us two room keys at check in because they had no extra keys and that made our first day very difficult (one must have a key to turn on lights in the room but my companion wanted to go out in the evening and with only one key, I was left in the dark). We managed to get another room key the next day when they replenished their key cards.

Good property, close to lake

Very nice place

This was a good hotel in a convenient location. The staff were quite friendly and helpful. For areas of improvement, the parking situation could be improved to reduce stress at check-in, being that the hotel requires you to make a separate request to get parking, even though the description says that parking is available (but it is not actually available unless you know that you have to make the separate request in advance because otherwise it is “full”). Luckily there was parking available in a separate parking structure just a short walk around the corner. Secondly, all of the pillows were miserably flat and uncomfortable in our room and also in our friends’ rooms.

Our stay was okay. It would have been better if staff were friendlier. Nobody informed me that we can register and use transportation for free since I paid for the city tax.

lovely place!!

Overall a fairly decent hotel in Paradiso which is about a 20 minute walk away from central Lugano.
We were staying for 4 nights and didn't have food here so our review is predominantly focussed on the room and staff.
The room was large which was nice but we had a glass headboard which was very strange and was quite worrying sometimes.
Coffee machine provided in the room is a great touch but to only provide 2 (TWO) capsules per day is very limited. Give them credit, when I asked for more I received them but c'mon people, this is a coffee loving country, guests will want a coffee in the morning, then when they return later in the afternoon as a pick-me-up, minimum 4 per day please?

Would have checked out if the booking was refundable, worst room I booked in Italy !! For the price paid! Definitely need to maintain the rooms by all means. The only thing that was good the lobby well maintained.
3.8
Pros: Comfortable bed
Cons: Faulty Coffee machine flooded floor
Kettle with broken thermal cut off , unplugging from mains only option.
Television had no English Language channels other than CNBC financial news.
Plate glass 'curtains' trapped my finger between them and the ledge; still very sore 3 days later.
It would appear from one of the rooftop photos that you can see the lake. I didn't see it when I went on the rooftop.

Nothing special. Just a easy place to spend the night.

Clean, good staff, breakfast as well, negative points are the parking which have to be pre-booked earlier plus rooms have no closets. Other features are fine.

If this is a 4 star hotel then Motel 6 is a luxury resort. What a disaster & a disappointment. The room was horrible. The floor boards were coming up in the bathroom from water damage, the bedroom looked worse than a college dormatory with chips of paint coming off the walls, there was damage everywhere! Worst of all was the bed... it was like sleeping on concrete. We both tossed & turned and woke with back aches. Also the neighbors in the residential building nextdoor were fighting and you could hear everything with the windows closed! The staff also didn't notify us ahead of time that parking must be reserved, so we had to find an alternative parking spot after a very long drive. The staff was nice, but the hotel room was definitely motel status. I can't find any reason why the Swiss would call this a 4 star instead of a 2.5. Sorry, I would have had better sleep in my car.

On the whole, OK.
I received my 'walk-in shower' as requested as well as my 'high floor'.
Unfortunately NOT the quiet room i requested and was not only at the hub of lift activity, service room etc but actually adjoiining the service lift!
Extreme noise in the mornings and evenings.
I didn't want to complain and ask to be moved, that's a nuisance after one has unpacked, but next stay would certainly want a guarantie of a room far away from the lifts. At threat of cancelling!
I have stayed a number of times in the past and this is a first so the hotel remains an option.
The Lugano City Tax PLUS RESORT TAX mounted to CHF 6.20 per day.! Extreme considering one still has to pay to use all the facitities the city provides.
3.8
The staff was great and informative. Breakfast buffet was really good and service staff was very accommodating.
Our room was dated and past years renovations were poorly done. Multiple obvious plumping changes in the bathroom. The bathroom has experienced so much water damage that the flooring is very bowed. Some areas need better cleaning. Moldy calking and grout in bathroom.
Indoor pool area however, was clean and well maintained.

Excellent! This is my favourite hotel in Paradiso, exceptional service & clean spacious rooms. They offer a very good breakfast buffet selection, much more choice than other Swiss hotels. There is secure underground parking, at additional cost. You are located very close to Lugano centre so it’s easy to walk to the lake from from the hotel. Definitely recommended!

Total disappointment from walking in to walking out , the reception not welcoming felt like we were a burden . Parking told to park in public parking area . Nice shampoo and conditioner bottles on front desk - don’t be fooled into thinking that’s what you get in the room ? You need your own or use the generic squeeze bottle that is all in one . The room was basic no frills and not really clean , bathroom is out of date with mould and rust apparent. Doors and room not sound proof so the smell from breakfast reached our floor and into our room. We checked out and that was chore as we had two rooms and seemed to confuse them, then put out bags into car and returned to eat the breakfast included and that caused the manager to wave her arms like we should not have done so , I asked why it’s a problem and they said it’s not . As I said absolute amateur service and only a one or two star hotel. Nothing more.

It could be a nice hotel but at the moment is ruined by noisy building work and very poor service. I asked for a quiet room and was given one beside the lift and directly opposite the big building site next door. No sleep either from noisy guests coming and going or an early start to building work. The next day I asked to be moved, and they gave me a room directly beneath the renovations going on to the hotel itself. Drilling and hammering all day so i got no work done. And the staff really didn't care at all. The room itself was fine and the breakfast nice. But I wouldn't stay here again.

It was very clean and well maintained. Staff are very friendly and helpful.

The most aspect of the hotel is their people. They are very nice and helpful. They provide clear information and greet you with a smiling and revitalising face. If there was 7 star for people - I would give that to the people here
3.8
Very good location, next to bus stop, steps away from lake. Front desk not professional, made several mistakes, and gave us a hard time to fix them, they were rude and impatient. Rooms were very clean and comfortable, breakfast was nice too.
3.8
Very nice and within walking distance of the center of Lugano. The reception staff didn’t know the answers to most of our questions about how to get to places, which was frustrating.
3.8
Property is an old Holiday Inn converted to Admiral. It is very dated and felt congested. Eight Euros from train station. No courtesy hotel shuttle. Location is 5 min. walk to Lake Lugano and next to the Funnicularo. Included breakfast was typical of continental variety plus egg omlettes made to order.
If staying ask for Ticino card (free) that will give you free public transportation in the entire Ticino region.
