Rarely do I give a bad review, but this Hôtel warrants one. First, Expedia states shuttle available (for a fee) and that is not the case. This is really a step up from a hostel. Bare minimum. We booked a queen bed, got a double. This hotel is for those looking for a bed to sleep and shower. The staff were great- helpful.

Very small for three people. Seemed very damp. The location was good. 15 minute walk to the centre of the city or the bus stop was right outside the hotel. Staff were friendly. Very expensive place to eat.

Basic property about a mile from the train station in Lugano with limited dining options nearby. Our room had 2 beds and a small kitchenette with almost no dishes (so if you want to actually use the kitchenette you’ll need to bring your own). The stay was comfortable for the price, but rooms are on a busy street so it gets quite loud if a window is open. I would not recommend this stay to light sleepers!

Location is great. Very close to the lake and the train station. The AC barely works and when asked the staff for help, since it was 9:28 p.m. and they leave at 9:30 p.m., the guy had attitude. Lugano gets really hot in the summer, a proper AC is needed.

We had a kitchen in our room, but it was impossible for us to use it without paying an additional fee of 15 francs to get dishes...

4/10

A/C doesn’t work. Staff extremely unhelpful and rude when asking about a/c conditions in rooms. Rooms are ok but staff and lack of a/c simply not up to par.

We stayed at this hotel for one night on our journey from Lake Como to Zurich. Website information is little misleading that this location is walkable to Lugano train station. But its 1.5 km from station, but there is bus stop opposite to the hotel. This looked like apartment coverted to hotel. very basic ameneties. Hotel staff was good and provided details for late check in, but did not give correct details about bus in the morning to go to train station. One couple helped us in the morning with bus details and we were able to reach station on time to catch 6:35 am train. It is very hard to find cab in this area. Bus is preferable, so please make sure you have enough details about bus schedules. I would not recommend this hotel until you have very short stay to catch an early train.
