    located next to a very loud roud and the room was facing it so not recommended for light sleepers. Sound isolation was also poor between rooms, as I could hear sheets had some stains, the balcony door

    Convenient location, good value for money compared to other properties available, very friendly and helpful staff. The room was conveniently equiped with a small kitchenette and coffee and tea was provided. The room had a balcony

    Even if I appreciated my stay, I have a couple of suggestions for the management. The fan of the centralized air conditioning is a little bit noisy, and I wasn't able to switch it off. It's a pity, because, for the rest, the room is very quiet. The strongest light in the room is commanded only by a switch near the entrance door. As a consequence, customers typically disconnect the lamp power cord from the power outlet when lying on the bed. Therefore, when entering the room, the light switch does not work: it is annoying when checking in late....

    near the train station and the city center. Large and clean room, equipped with a small kitchen. Comfortable bed.

    - it was cold - everything is a little bit old, but clear - the balcony on 1st floor is open for every room, so you don't have privacy

    - the location is almost in front of a bus station - they offer ticino ticket, which you can use for free transport (probably other accomodations it offer as well because it is compulsory in this canton) - they have luggage store where you can leave our luggages for free - it was quite

    Quiet hotel with helpful staff near one bar, far from centre, reasonably price for 2/4 nights.
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Queen Room
    • Stayed 2 nights

    Didgital air conditioning/heating difficult to use as both guests are visually impaired. Needed a "Swiss" plug adapter to plug in electrical appliances: laptop, mobile phone etc. 2 pin European plug adapter, but with narrow pins, some Europlug adapters are too big or wide for Swiss plug sockets. No space to put a small table next to one side of bed. Lobby extremely large. No atmosphere. A long walk to/from city centre and shops/eateries.

    A kitchenette room on 1st floor of a largest reasonably priced hotel in downtown Lugano. Hotel was extremely quiet, it seemed like we were the only guests. Room was an unusual shape, kind of big, but the pisition of the large double bed, meant it impossible to put a bedside table or cabinent one side of bed. Room had large en-suite bathroom with a good shower with good power and hot water, toilet with paper and a bedai and sink with had soap. Hand and bath towels provided. Bathmatt for the shower. The room had a kitchenette with a small skink and draining board, a cooker with 2 rings, a metal kettle to bowl water on the stove and a microwave and a fridge. Free tea-coffee-hot chocolate and sugar, plus stirrers provided. Key to enter room and building. Small table with 2 metal chairs in room by bed and large window. Didgital air conditioning/heating in room. Lift/elevator to all floors. Free parking next to hotel. 10-15 minute walk to Lake Lugano. 10-15 minute walk to city centre. Main train-bus station reached by bus number 2 or 4, a 5 minute drive. The OK Bar is almost opposite the hotel across a busy road and roundabout. Open from 6 am until midnight. Kitchen closes at 21:00 (9 pm). Friendly, Italian speaking staff, who speak a little English. Serves breakfast food, omelette, etc, tea/coffee, pasta and pizza and some meat dishes, reasonably priced. Friendly and sometimes lively :). Free good speed WiFi in hotel room and building. Italian worded password to access WiFi. Very large lobby. Can get free travel voucher from reception to us public transport in and around Lugano area. Comfy bed, would stay again.

    • Leisure trip

    Lobby and reception area is very arge and I often couldn't find the way to the lift/elevator to our room. Staff often not available between 12.30 pm until 3. pm. Reception closed after 9.30 pm. Had to constantly ask for extra tea/coffee/sugar and toilet paper. Room not cleaned after 4 days. Room is an odd shape, big in some parts, but narrow in other parts. Bed takes up too much space. WiFi a little complicated to access at first if you don't speak Italian. Air conditioning/heating is didgital and hard to change if you have a visual impairment, like my partner and I. City centre for shops-eateries a little far walking. Hotel has no atmosphere when we stayed just before Christmas December 2023.

    Really the only thing that we didn't like about the room was the fact that the bathroom had no space to put any toiletries down and no place to put/hang your clothes while showering. The addition of a simple shelf near the sink would do wonders and a couple of hooks and/or another shelf to put your change of clothes would make this stay perfect.

    It was exactly what we expected for the price we paid.

    The only negative: humidity in the room despite AC

    Employees at the reception were very helpful Chiara even more. She tool care on keeping an eye on the washing/cleaning machines, even folded my clothes. Storage for bicycles, the safest, cleanest and best equipped I have ever seen on my trip around Switzerland. Location right downtown, 5 minutes from the lake.

    The only thing is that in order to use the kitchen you would have to rent the appliances for 15e

    Well located and cheap compared to the rest of hotels of this zone. We found it last minute and they had availability.
