Spent two nights in this small, older two star hotel near the lakefront. My quiet single room faced the back of the property. A side entrance down an alleyway and a primitive elevator seem to be 'features' of many Swiss hotels. The room and bath were reasonably sized. Breakfast buffet was the most basic we encountered on our 10 day,... More

Also once more I have selected this hotel base in rating. I was quite worry that low stars hotel might disappointed me. However this hotel has a lot of advantages such as nearby downtown and also close to main car parking. Room size was ok. Bath room was quite big but not modern. Reception was very small. Restaurant was ok.... More

The hotel is run by a friendly family who greet you with smiles at any time of the day... It's small, cosy, clean and bang in the centre of town, close to shops, the lake front and the botanical gardens and casino. Due to all this though, the downside is that you may find some Swiss Italians arguing (or talking,... More

As a single female I have no hesitation in recommending Pestalozzi. Staff are exceptionally courteous, cleanliness is unrivalled. For 40 years I regularly stayed in a nearby private residence; since that ceased to be possible, Pestalozzi makes me feel very safe and "at home"! This (alcohol-free) Swiss haven's location is a moment's walk to gardens, the spectacular mountain-fringed lake, shops,... More

We just spent ten days at the Pestalozzi and loved it. We asked for a quiet room and got one - looking over rooftops and hills away from the main road. We were on the 4th floor, in an en suite room. It was extremely spacious, very clean, and well maintained all the time we were there. The beds were... More

I have stayed in the Pestalozzi hotel many times over the last year and have always found it a great place to stay. It is very well located with the lake and centre of town only a minutes walk away. The staff are very friendly and welcoming, making sure they do everything to make your stay as comfortable as possible.... More

The hotel itself is nicely situated close to most things you might need within walking distance. The staff at the reception is very nice and also German or English speaking which is not all that common in Lugano and the Canton Ticino wher Italian is the going language. The rates are acceptable but I was unfortunate to receive a room... More

We were in Lugano for a short week-end. We were really surprised of the quality of the hotel for the price we paid. The location of the hotel is just the best you can have in Lugano, right in the middle of the city, 100m away from the lake. We could see the lake from our room. We had a... More
