LUGANODANTE Boutique & Lifestyle Hotel
"Perfect stay. Would not stay anywhere else in Lugano. Conveniently located at the bottom on a funicular stop from the main train station. Will be recommending to friends in the future."
Grand Hotel Villa Castagnola
"Pictures do not do this place justice. The garden view is amazing with visibility of lake lugano and the distant mountains. Such a beautiful hotel. The staff are very accommodating and friendly. I loved the breakfast, it's simple but very tasty. I highly recommend this hotel"
Acquarello Swiss Quality Hotel
"Friendly and helpful staff, great location qnd value"
Walter au Lac
"Beautiful views in the heart of Lugano. Would definitely stay here again"
Villa Principe Leopoldo
"Fabulous boutique hotel. All the staff were exceedingly courteous and helpful. Rooms have incredible views above Lake Lugano and it wasn’t an issue about not being located in the actual town itself, in fact it was a positive, with the hotel running a courtesy shuttle minibus down to the town and back 3 times daily. Restaurant absolutely wonderful with incredible food and wine choices. Bar offers an alternative more relaxed eating option either inside or outside on the lovely terrace. Would highly recommend."
Best Western Hotel Bellevue Au Lac
"The hotel was excellent choice, I’m very happy with my stay. The front desk Agent Barbara she was out standing and helpful. The room had the best view ever, I could see the sunrise from my bed. I will go back and recommend people to this hotel. Thank you Best-western team ."
Hotel De La Paix
"Amazing"
Hotel Delfino
"Location was good, right by a bus stop and a 10 minute walk up and down to Franklin University. One staff member who was a male at front desk was very friendly everyone else was fair. They advertise self service laundry but it is not available which was very disappointing as that is one feature of why I choose this hotel. Breakfast was ok, it entailed scrambled or boiled eggs, breads, yogurt, and some fruit and cereals. Loved the fresh OJ. Facilities inside are warm with no A/C expect in your room. Amenities are lacking as there was only a small bar soap and a multipurpose shampoo, we almost fell a few times in the shower and there are no mats. Make sure to bring an umbrella as soon it rains often and this hotel did not have loaners. If you like a 70’s 80’s vibe you’ll like the decor. We will be making many trips to Lugano over the next 4 years, probably won’t stay here again."
Hotel Lido Seegarten
"Beautiful hotel right on the lake. Everything is walkable and centrally located. I would definitely come back again.."
