We were very much impressed with Hotel International au Lac in Lugano. Its location in the city is perfect, just across the street from a pedestrian walk along the shore of beautiful lake Lugano, and close to a variety of shopping areas and restaurants. We arrived early afternoon, and were greeted enthusiastically with a smile and a welcome. The lobby... More

This is an older hotel, just across the street from the Lake Lugano. The cable car takes you from the train station to the city center and from there it's a 5-minutes walk to the hotel. Otherwise it's a 20 euro cab ride. We were greeted by friendly staff in reception, and shown to rooms that were large and clean,... More

The hotel location is the best, near the waterfront, in the beginning of the pedestrian shopping street of the city, going straight to the center, a five minute walk. It is situated near the medieval church Chiesa degli Angioli with beautiful frescoes. The busy road that runs along the lake near the hotel did not disturbe us because it is... More

Courtyard room quiet ,rather dark with air con. No fridge or kettle though. Bathroom excellent with bath tub,foot cleaner, hairdryer,soaps etc. Hotel worth a look around. Nice pool, with some views of lake, bar really nice with classic look with balcony. Walks to mont salvador easy along waterfront then furnicular. Overall, pleasant experience with serene views of lake.

Welcoming at reception on arrival.Room comfortable and bathroom spotless. Decided to eat in house first night and whilst food was very good the wait staff were rather abrupt and seemed to carry out their duties with an air of disdain. Not sure what this was about, maybe a cultural thing. Still as a result decided to eat else where.Otherwise enjoyable... More

hotel is ok located however the staff in rwstauran and especially the old guy in the bar are either incredibly silly or maybe it is just that they are incredibly impolite. the rooms for 220.- are really not worth the price: small, old fashioned batheoom, no mini bar, but incredibly loud. i changed the room because the first night sleep...

This is the perfect location - on the lakefront road, central with easy access to buses. This is an old style luxury hotel Furniture is period furniture Family run The rooms could use a touch of upgrade There is no mini bar or mini fridge in the room

Bernina Express + bus brought us to Lugano. This was the first hotel in our rail trip that was not obviously close to the train station but the walk was downhill and quite attractive, via the town centre. Hotel welcome was best on our trip. With hindsight we should probably have planned more than an overnight here and seen more... More

I stayed here after traveling all day from France. It was good value for the price in the area. After the initial shock of the way the doors open and the 1970's decor, this hotel was charming with a lovely breakfast and the bar area had a pretty view
