The room was clean and comfortable with a nice bathroom. It was a short 1-2 min walk to the main road where you can see their lake. Easy check-out where you can drop your keys. We would definitely stay here again! ##### Amanda Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Karin Jul 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Great location! Very clean. Nothing fancy, but conveniently located and functional. Soap dispenser built into shower. Tub too small for a bath, but not a problem for us. High powered fan for hot days, no AC. Mattress ok for a couple of nights. Very friendly and helpful staff. ##### Karin Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Louise May 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Budget hotel in fabulous location A budget hotel but in a fantastic location with really lovely staff.

Which in itself is the experience when in Europe! Clean place, amazing spot for convenience without a car. The staff at desk are warming and welcoming! ##### Elissabeth Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Juliana Jun 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### I recommend it The location is amazing, staff is very friendly and helpfully. ##### Juliana Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Alejandro Sep 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Is a old hotel but with the necessary stuff to stay to sleep, I like the area because it was close to the lake, famous stores like Gucci,Prada,etc …also is in the middle of the town where you can find a lot of cafes to eat or others restaurants. It was nice to be there. ##### Alejandro Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### ekaterina Sep 30, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Great staff and messaging service.

They were very helpful and went above and beyond to help us navigate a town when we didn't speak the language. ##### Melissa Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Sep 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Ideal location The location was perfect. Our room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The downside was that the ceiling fan and lights in our room did not work, and the bedding was too small for the bed. The top sheet and comforter were not wide enough to cover two people. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Mehnoosh Sep 16, 2024 Liked: Staff & service, amenities Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Location is excellent and the manager was great to accommodate our request to change our room. The setup in this hotel was odd and two rooms had a sharing bathroom which was next to our room. Every time they used the bathroom we could hear the flushing and bathroom door. The second night the manager changed our room to different floor and we had a good night sleep. ##### Mehnoosh Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Natalia May 18, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Great location. Breakfast included which was just ok. The WiFi is free but the wifi can be a little slow. The walls are very thin and you can hear everything. The space is very small. No water given and the room was all little stuffy. ##### Natalia Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller Sep 12, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Room comfort #### Small room Good location. A very small room. No view (a wall). No ac, but the fan was ok. Noice from the street on Saturday night. On Sunday morning at 8 and 10 worships in the church, you could hear it clearly into the room. No place other than expensive restaurants to buy snacks/food on a Sunday. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0B57337305738AD4356A1092FC7D59CD4AD2FA421694542959379.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/E50BF053AA89C91C99605FFB5C66307C2946F6391694542958955.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Daniel Jun 8, 2024 Liked: Staff & service Location is outstanding and is in the middle of the old town within 10walk from the train station and a block form Lake Lugano. The check-in staff were very friendly and very helpful whenever we had questions. One thing that could be improved is to respond to customer issues. Our shower head fell and broke. We reported the issue and it wasn’t fixed for two days before we left. We basically used a hose for shower for a couple of days. I believe this is something simple that could be fixed relatively fast and it didn’t make sense it wasn’t fixed before we left. I would stay here again for sure. ##### Daniel Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Marc Jun 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great location and nice employees ##### Marc Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Jamaica Bay Inn Marina Del Rey,Tapestry Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Jamaica-Bay-Inn-Tapestry-By-Hilton.h23391.Hotel-Information) > > [Makkah Clock Royal Tower, A Fairmont Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Mecca-Hotels-Fairmont-Makkah-Clock-Royal-Tower.h4039860.Hotel-Information) > > [Club Wyndham Grand Desert](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas-Hotels-Club-Wyndham-Grand-Desert.h894235.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Glacier](https://www.expedia.ca/Glacier-Hotels.d184133.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Homewood Suites by Hilton Miami Downtown/Brickell](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Homewood-Suites-By-Hilton-Miami-DowntownBrickell.h10974648.Hotel-Information) > > [Six Flags Great Escape Lodge & Indoor Waterpark](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-George-Hotels-Six-Flags-Lodge-Indoor-Waterpark.h1385446.Hotel-Information) > > [Castle Waikīkī Shore](https://www.expedia.ca/Honolulu-Hotels-Castle-Waikiki-Shore.h205294.Hotel-Information) > > [Circle 6 Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Weyburn-Hotels-Circle-6-Motel.h11630279.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheap Hotels in Nanaimo](https://www.expedia.ca/Nanaimo-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d3908-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Niagara Falls](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels.d6023515.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [ibis Geneve Centre Nations](https://www.expedia.ca/Geneva-Hotels-Ibis-Geneve-Centre-Nations.h5622125.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Fort Lauderdale](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels.d601750.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Huff Estates Inn & Winery](https://www.expedia.ca/Belleville-Hotels-Huff-Estates-Inn-Winery.h1766369.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Medicine Hat (YXH) to Edmonton International Airport (YEG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxh/yeg/medicine-hat-to-edmonton) > > [Flights from Goffs (YHZ) to Orlando (MCO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhz/mco/halifax-to-orlando) > > [Flights from Edinburgh (EDI) to Hounslow (LHR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/edi/lhr/edinburgh-to-london) > > [Flights from Richmond (YVR) to Ballasalla (IOM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/iom/vancouver-to-isle-of-man) > > [Flights from john wayne airport](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/airports/sna/flights-from-john-wayne-airport) > > [Flights from Richmond (YVR) to Ottawa (YOW)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/yow/vancouver-to-ottawa) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Morelos (ZCL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/zcl/toronto-to-zacatecas) > > [Flights from Nisku](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/10547/flights-from-nisku) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Chennai (MAA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/maa/toronto-to-chennai) > > [Delta](https://www.expedia.ca/Delta-Flights.cDL.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Toronto, ON (YYZ-Pearson Intl.) to New York, NY (NYC-All Airports)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/nyc/toronto-to-new-york) ### Cars ### Cruise ### Packages
