Top University of Lugano Hotel Reviews

Acquarello Swiss Quality Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. And breakfast"

Villa Sassa

10/10 Excellent

"Room was spacious and comfortable with an amazing gym."

Grand Hotel Villa Castagnola

10/10 Excellent

"👍"

Hotel Federale Lugano

8/10 Good

"The Mandarin Oriental this is not. This is a clean, well run, small European hotel, not new, but well maintained, with a very friendly and astonishingly multi-lingual staff. The clientele appeared to be well-to-do couples speaking French and German. The food in the restaurant was not flaming or foaming, but the lasagne made with fresh pasta was very nice, as was my glass of red wine. The hotel is within spitting distance of both Hertz and the train station. If you have reason to stay overnight in Lugano, this seems like a logical and pleasant choice."

Hotel Lido Seegarten

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel right on the lake. Everything is walkable and centrally located. I would definitely come back again.."

Hotel Pestalozzi Lugano

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was clean, very neat orderly staff and great air condition which was need in August. I would say there again. And plan to in the spring"

GuestHouse Lugano University

10/10 Excellent

"Location is excelente! Nice big room, comfy bed and nice hand soap. I went in summer with my husband and 2 kids. I was a little hesitant about paying the deposit thru link after learning that many scammers work that way, but it was the only way since it is a self check in. They do send instructions of everything with steps to enter the room. The key to the room is modern, thankfully my 19 year old got us in quite fast. One thing I didn’t know was that most places in Lugano don’t have air conditioners. So be aware! I have to say that even in summer (August) it wasn’t bad. The room has a floor cooling system and a fan. Check in was after 4pm (strictly) I had to walk around with bags for hours, but it was definitely stated ahead. They returned my deposit in a day or two. I would go back again. It was comfortable and spacious."

Hotel City Lugano, Design & Hospitality
