Would recommend! ##### Kaitlin Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul Oct 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great hotel in downtown Lugano Loved the room and stay in Lugano. Wasn't sure if we wanted to stay away from the city but this was the right choice. Lots of dining options and great place to walk along the water. Only issue is that parking is a few blocks away.
