Loved it! Loved it! The best of 6 hotels on my visit to Schys. Attractive, spacious comfortable rooms. Great location , just steps from the funicular to the station.

Ten plus! ##### DONALD Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Madeleine Elizabeth Jun 24, 2024 Perfect placement in the town, walking distance from the lake and the train station.

No great views out the window but that’s totally fine for our over night stay Staff was friendly and gave us a crib for our toddler and allowed us to turn on the AC unit because with the windows open we had a couple of mosquitos ##### Cheyenne Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Suzanne Sep 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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. ##### Suzanne Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Aug 24, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Nice 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. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kevin Sep 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Easy walk from the train station to the hotel. Take the funicular down from the train station and the hotel is immediately on the right. Right in the middle of old town so it was a good location. A decent hotel for the price. The room was small, but definitely adequate for our needs. Staff was super helpful and the breakfast good. The only negative was the sheets were not soft and a bit scratchy. ##### Kevin Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wesley Jul 17, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Very nice stay and location. ##### Wesley Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gojart Apr 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Perfect location ##### Gojart Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kim May 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Wonderful place ##### Kim Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nicole Aug 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very Close to train and lake ##### Nicole Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Santo Aug 13, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Very nice hotel at foot of the funicular to the train station. ##### Santo Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John Apr 2, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very convenient location, nice rooms with great shower, super nice and helpful staff, room available for a casual business meeting was perfect, good breakfast, really enjoyed our stay with this hotel ##### John Stayed 1 night in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tiril Mar 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fantastic stay Everything was perfect.

From pictures online, I was skeptical, but the location and quality of this hotel was above my expectations. The room was nice, bed comfy and breakfast abundant! The entrance is hidden behind large plants as the hotel is tucked into a corner at the base of the funicular. No noise problem! ##### Karla Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Hotels in Rhodes](https://www.expedia.ca/Diagoras-Airport-Hotels.0-aRHO-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Cheap Hotels in Costa Rica](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Costa-Rica-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d42-tCheapHotels.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > - [WNS Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-WNS-Hotel.h112855979.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotels near Mammoth Cave National Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Mammoth-Cave-National-Park-Hotels.0-l553248622908082023-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Hotels in Moncton](https://www.expedia.ca/Moncton-Hotels.d4051.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > - [Beach Hotel in Spain](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Spain-Beach-Hotel.0-0-d166-tBeachHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > - [Hotels in Palic](https://www.expedia.ca/Palic-Hotels.d6151128.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > - [Prestige Du Lac Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Lugano-Hotels-Prestige-28.h38981613.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotels in Arsha](https://www.expedia.ca/Arsha-Hotels.d6314803.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > - [Mount Snow Lodging by Vail Resorts](https://www.expedia.ca/West-Dover-Hotels-Mount-Snow-Lodging.h58181883.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotels in Balmacara](https://www.expedia.ca/Balmacara-Hotels.d3000012423.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > - [Hotels in Blue Mountain Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Blue-Mountain-Village-Hotels.d553248621532864943.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > - [Cheap Hotels in Reno](https://www.expedia.ca/Reno-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d602688-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [The King Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Atlanta-Hotels-The-King-Suites.h51739920.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > - [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Nuuk (GOH)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/goh/calgary-to-nuuk) > - [Philippine Airlines](https://www.expedia.ca/Philippine-Airlines-Flights.cPR.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > - [Flights from El Marques (QRO) to Bora Bora (BOB)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/qro/bob/queretaro-to-bora-bora) > - [Flights from Xiamen (XMN) to Taoyuan City (TPE)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/xmn/tpe/xiamen-to-taipei) > - [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Paradise Island (PID)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/pid/calgary-to-paradise-island) > - [Flights from Prince George (YXS) to Terrace (YXT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxs/yxt/prince-george-to-terrace) > - [Flights from Richmond (YVR) to Florence (CVG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/cvg/vancouver-to-cincinnati) > - [Flights from Edmonton International Airport (YEG) to Punta Cana (PUJ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/puj/edmonton-to-punta-cana) ### Cars ### Packages ### General > - [Visit Renaissance Place](https://www.expedia.ca/Indianapolis-Renaissance-Place.dx553248635976474334) > - [Visit Mansfield](https://www.expedia.ca/Mansfield.dx181691)
