Clearly the rooms do not look like on the webpage of the hotel. Anyway they are OK and we felt ok in the hotel. The room was outdated but clean. Breakfast was ok with a nice view on the lake. Free WIFI throughout the hotel is available.

If you are looking for a very short stay and searching for a cheaper hotel at a lake shore, this could still be a good choice, but I wouldn't recommend to stay to my friends or family. While visiting the hotel web sites, I was impressed by the pictures of the rooms and hotel interiors. While staying at the hotel,... More

At the low end of the Lugano lakeshore hotel price range. For a great price we had a very large and clean bed & bathroom, direct view on the lake and on-site parking. Yes it's a bit old and some of the colouring is odd, but it's definently great value.

This hotel is located on the side of lake Lugano and the building seems to be pretty old - the carpeted wooden floor gives the creeking sound as you walk about. But the ceiling was pretty high and the room size was okay compared to what we got in Lucern. The hotel had a grand view over the lake from... More

La qualité de cet hôtel est son emplacement, face au lac et au jet d'eau... là s'arrêtent les points positifs. La réception de l'hôtel est un musée en soi du mauvais goût et à l'image du reste. Une espèce de "culte" du propriétaire a lieu partout dans l'hôtel avec des photos et des tableaux de lui et de son fils,... More

I reserved this hotel with some "reservations" since there were several reviewers who were disgusted with the decor of the hotel. But I figured, why not give it a try? The price was right, the location was excellent for what I wanted. So we went, we stayed and we have to agree that the decor has serious issues. There are... More

First of all let me just say that the location of this hotel is just perfect! I will agree with other reviewers in that the noise of the club downstairs was annoying but we were so tired we fell asleep pretty fast. If you are staying for longer than one night though, it might be a problem.The bed was very... More

I did a lot of searching before i chose this hotel. I new what I wanted- on the lake, and walking distance to restarants and shops. This place filled the bill. It was clean, and service was great. The restaurant on site was quite good. The room was small- but that's Europe- the view and little balcony made up for... More

Hotel was opposite lake (main entrance was on the other side of building) about 10 minutes walk along lake to the centre. We were offered a (small) lake view room for the same price as a non lake view room. We opted to take that although the weather was so bad it didn't really make a difference. The room was... More
