It is an old Lugano hotel with many of the original design features still in place. It is close to the old town, the train station, and to the lake, just a short walk away. The bathroom was tiny and the shower had mildew in some cracks and crevices. The bed was comfortable. There was air conditioning. Considerating all the other places we stayed this was okay but not the best ##### Phayungsak Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### michael May 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Most of the shops and restaurants are downhill so you’ll have a steep climb back to the hotel. Very close to everything and accommodations are very nice with complementary breakfast buffet. Would stay again. ##### michael Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer Jul 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff were very friendly.
