10/10 Excellent

The place is conveniently located near the train station as well as the funicular to go to the lake promenade. They are between 5 to 10 minutes walk from the hotel respectively. Daniel was very prompt in responding with whatever we need figured out in the room besides being nice and helpful. Thank you, Daniel; you made our stay wonderful!
Fernando, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The hotel is conpletely renovated, very modern interieur. The short walk from the trainstation (5 min) was very conveniant for us arriving with the train with lugguage. The city centre was easy to reach taking the funicular from the train station. The hosts were very pleasant and helpful. The free water (also sparling) was absolutely great. Great customer service, we would always go there again when going to Lugano!

4/10 Poor

OK, aber trotzdem enttäuscht

Aufgrund der Lage zum Bahnhof und dem Preisangebot habe ich dieses Hotel gebucht. Bei der Ankunft war alles sehr freundlich und der Empfang war sehr angenehm. Das Zimmer ist kleiner als erwartet und auch schon älter. Jedoch mehrheitlich sauber und das grosse Bett aufwertend. Das Bad ebenfalls älter, aber bis auf geringen Wasserdruck auch ohne weitere Beanstandungen. Was mich aber dann sehr störte, waren die Belagserneuerungen, welche bis um 03.30 Uhr dauerten und von meinem Zimmer aus in 50m Distanz stattfanden. Zuerst den alten Belag rausgefräst (ab 21.00 Uhr) und dann mit Maschinen ab Mitternacht eingebaut. Die Hotelleitung kann hier nichts dafür, aber einen Hinweis oder eine Preisreduktion wären sicher wünschenswert gewesen. Das Frühstück war corona konform bereits auf einem Tablett pro Zimmer bereit und reichte aus.

Les personnes étaient très accueillantes et aidantes : arrivée avant le Check-in et nous avons eu directement accès à la chambre; et avant le départ, ils nous ont laissé une clef de la porte d’entrée pour aller rechercher nos bagages. Une terrasse superbe, à 2 pas de la gare : top !
