Clean, comfortable though a bit hot in room open windows and closed shutters worked great for the night. Ate breakfast, nice selection also provided gluten free alternatives. Dinner service looked good, a lot of locals that is always a good sign. Service personnel spoke several languages which is great.

I was stopping overnight to break a journey, and it was fine for that. Comfy bed and the owners were friendly and welcoming. But the room was too warm and I couldn't have the window open (at least to start with) because there was a very noisy fan just below my room.

Sehr zuvorkommendes Personal. Das Hotel hat vom Ambiente Charm. In der warmen Sommerzeit blieb die Wärme im Zimmer trotz geöffneten Fenstern. Dies war für mich zum Schlafen ein wenig unangenehm.

Non è la prima volta che soggiorniamo qui e l’Albergo Svizzero si riconferma una struttura confortevole e funzionale. Ottima colazione ben assortita.

Esperienza consigliata, lo staff è stato molto cordiale e disponibile… A Mendrisio per lavoro ci vado spesso, l’albergo è molto comodo alla stazione, cosa che ho sfruttato per recarmi in centro. Ma anche per una semplice camminata al lago. Credo da come sto scrivendo si capisca la bella esperienza che ho passato ed infatti ho lasciato 5 stelle su 5.
