Nice Enough
It's a nice enough hotel, right next to the funicular that takes you to the train station. The rooms are quite dated, but the breakfast was nice the service was very good.

Highly recommend
We loved our stay and wish we could have stayed longer. Great location. TIP from Lugano train station: GET on funicular. Exit funicular and immediately make U turn. Hotel is right there at the bottom. Great restaurants walkable and our favorite breakfast of our trip.

Great hotel option for staying in Lugano center. The funicular connects the SBB railway station with the city center and funicular station is just 10m away from the hotel entrance.

Nice and well located hotel with pleasant staff. The room was not huge and the balcony looked into offices. But it was adequate and I'd stay there again.

Great hotel in a great location. I appreciated the hotel having 1 standard European power socket as I was unable to find an adaptor for the Swiss socket in Australia. Coffee machine in room & fridge. Was given a free block of Swiss chocolate upon check in which was nice & a Ticino Ticket with free public transport.

This hotel is next to the furnicular that goes to the train station and also a very easy walk to the lake and shopping. The included breakfast was nice with an assortment of options. The beds were comfortable , the facilities were clean and nicely kept. The staff was friendly and helpful. It was nice to have access to the gym and sauna. We were very happy with this hotel.

Easy to find, just get off the funicular and walk through adjacent courtyard. Heard the funicular and it sounded to me like a distant jet plane, but it bothered my significant other. Staff was awesome and helpful.
