It was the cheapest hotel we could find in the area...reasonable for switzerland, but expensive by the rest of the worlds standards! (£80 for a double). First the positives! - The staff on the reception desk were super... More

We booked this hotel as we were only in Lugano one night so didn't want to spend a fortune. The photos on the hotel website are a true representation. Very 70's decor. Room was clean though. Showerhead swung round while on but was powerful.the only downside was the breakfast area. The food was as expected, bread, ham, cheese and cereal... More

Let’s start with the positive news: the hotel is located just a couple of minutes away from the lake and the beautiful boulevard. If you keep walking on the boulevard, it takes some 15-20 minutes the reach the main square in the city centre.
