Very quaint hotel..staff extremely helpful and polite.. Rooms clean and beds very comfortable. Breakfast very adequate...nice 20 min walk from station around the lake...even with baggage in tow..all the staff came to see us off when we left with ringing of cow bells..very nice...

OK my single room isn't huge but as I don't want to stay in my room all day... Who cares? The air con works ...and this is far from certain in many chains where the aircon is hard wired not to come on and then you are put off with "someone will look at it" until you check out. It... More

This hotel in Lugano was a wonderful treat after so much noise in the big cities. Charming, quiet property with a sweet family running the operation. We were a troupe of 60 guests, the Alaska Festival Singers, making our way singing through Italy, Switzerland and Germany....this was my favorite hotel! The staff were so helpful and friendly. The beds were... More

The rooms are very basic and dated. Staff are extremely helpful and warm, making you feel like family. The breakfast has a lovely selection of items and the Prosecco was an added delight. Go for the staff and the breakfast.

An amiable owner, decent breakfast, good value and close to the water and cable cars up the hill for a view.

We were comfortable in a plain but adequate room with its own little balcony, and having a lift to the fifth floor was wonderful. The breakfast was lovely and the staff helpful and friendly. Free wi-fi was terrific, and the location was away from the noisy center but still close to the train station and very walkable to town. The... More
