The hotel is comfortable, but the decor - like so many places in this lovely country - looks like something from the 1970s. The room was small but comfortable. The hotel is located about fifteen minutes walk from the main part of town. At the moment, eating out in Switzerland is breathtakingly expensive. We had nice pizzas in the town,... More

I stayed at this hotel for 3 nights back in May of 2012 and this hotel was absolutely perfect! The rooms were anything super fancy/flashy but that's not something I desired. The bed was comfortable, rooms were clean and well taken care of, and the bathrooms were quite spacious. The best part of the room though was the balcony. Wake... More

We quite enjoyed staying here for one night & while the hotel is not particularly fancy, it was affordable by Swiss standards (many of the other hotels we looked at were much more expensive!) The hotel is not particularly large or new but has small, neat, clean rooms (nothing fancy) & I think some of the rooms must have a... More

We are just back from a long week end in Lugano and we enjoyed the Delfino very much. Not only the hotel is very clean, well located and has a fantastic swimming pool but the food is great and the staff extremely attentive and helpful. Everything works as it should and the personnel just does the extra mile to please... More

The hotel is located in a quite area of Lugano, walking duistance from the centre. the staff is very friendly and helpful. Bedrooms are confortable and functional without being too fancy. Great opportunity to enjoy the swimmingpool if you do not wish to walk till the lake :-) More

We have just returned from a week long stay at the Delfino and would wholeheartedly recommend it. The staff were friendly and helpful at all times and our room was a good size with a pristine ensuite bathroom and a balcony overlooking one of Lugano's two big mountains, Monte San Salvatore. Breakfast was sumptiouswith a large selection of breads, croissants,... More

We stayed here for a weekend for a family celebration. Although the hotel is not in the centre it is a pleasant walk downhill and either along the lake or down a road. Taxis are very expensive but outside the hotel is a bus stop and for 2 swiss francs you can take a bus into Lugano. You need to... More

Location quite ok, if you like walking. Takes 20 min to downtown. Rooms quite small, facing west poor view. Pool area ok, could be more attractive. No decoration whatsoever, just outdoor furniture. Area Not in use. Poor service. Even on pleasant mornings breakfast outdoor imposs (statement by hotel mmgt: what do you expect, we have ninety guests! If everybody wants... More

I had a fantastic stay at the Hotel Delfino. I stayed in two different rooms, a single facing San Sal and a double facing the lake. Both were excellent rooms. The beds were very comfortable, the bathrooms were we thoughtfully arranged, and the balconies were a treat. I didn't have luck setting up the internet in my room but I... More
