The location is excellent- just down the hill from the train/bus station. And just up the hill from the shopping district. Everything is walkable. The breakfast and dinner menu include multiple vegetarian options as well as soy milk and other allergen labeled items. This was unique to our experience at other hotels during our vacation.

Very friendly and thoughtful staff. Go over and above to be helpful. Breakfast was great & waitstaff were extremely attentive. We arrived early & front desk person checked to see if our room was available & was able to let us in early which allowed us to visit more of the old town area. Right down the hill from the train station on easy ramp.

The staff were very welcoming and helpful. I liked this hotel also for the location accessible to lugano stazione. I would like to commend the gentlemen in the front desk during dec 13 to 15 of my stay. I forgot to get their names. I would recommend this hotel.

We arrived in Lugano by train and the hotel is just across the road from the station, albeit many metres down the hill. No problem there are semi gentle ramps to the hotel front door. The staff at reception were jolly and helpful to say the least. Online check in streamlined the process and should be used at other hotels. This is a great innovation. Up the elevator and into the room. Spectacular room with amazing views of the town, lake and mountains from the balcony. A superb bed and air conditioning, blockout blinds nice bathroom made me wish I was staying longer. Not far back to the station for the Bernina express in the morning. Catch the funicular from the church next door or push your bags up the ramps if you are a bit fit. My only wish is there was the option of a plain sheet instead of the Swiss dogonas available on the beds in summer. This would be a greener option on hot nights.

As other reviewers noted... even four years ago, the rooms and bathrooms are really dated, at least the one we got. That said, it was incredibly clean and comfortable but just be prepared for a very old hotel. Dinner was good and breakfast was fine. There are some great views from the balcony if your room has one. Service was very good.

Check in was fast, excellent service by Mr. Giuseppe at the front desk. He was very helpful in arranging a late dinner for us. The hotel staff is amazing. The hotel is very close to the train station but reaching there with luggage can be a major issue especially at night or if the weather is bad.. the only access to the hotel is to go down through a steep hill or stairs. There is a cable car from the train station but you have to climb up the hill to the hotel. On our return trip, we had to take a cab to go back to the train station with our luggage...

We appreciated that the Hotel is a short, easy walk from the train station and then a quick walk into town. What sets the hotel apart is the service from the staff -- everyone from the front desk to the waiters at breakfast were so friendly and helpful. It was really a great experience.

Room is older than what it appears in the photos. Generally clean but shower condition is fair. Water didn’t drain fast enough. Good location but I think the price is still high for the room standard. Service is good though.

I can call this hotel a mystery hotel. When the taxi drops off at the hotel your first feeling is that you are in an isolated place. But when you leave the hotel turning left you yourself in the center of the shopping area. And I really loved my room and its balcony.
