Hotel Delfino Lugano, hotel in Lugano

The family-run Hotel Delfino has a privileged location close to the lake shore and next to the pedestrian area which leads into the heart of the city of Lugano.

The location is great for visiting lake Lugano. We liked everything - the rooms, the pool, the breakfast, the parking place. Staff is amazing, they were able to arrange early check-in for all our 3 rooms (we kindly asked for one). The hotel also provided Ticino card which enables free public bus and train and discount on ferries and funiculars.

    Take the cable cart to the top of the hill - St.

    Take the cable cart to the top of the hill - St. Salvatore and if you have good weather - there awaits you and this is not an exaggeration by any means - one of the most amazing views I have ever seen in my life. Also we took a boat ride along the lake, which without any discount is about 40CHF for 2 hours ride, which is also very nice. There is a half tax discount if you have it for Switzerland. Miniature museum is nice as well. Lugano over all I think will stay in my heart :)

    2 nights would have been sufficient for us. We took a day trip to Bellinzona and visited most of the popular attractions and had time to spare. We are not shoppers or people who like to hang out next to a pool and relax. If you are that type of person, the lake is beautiful and the shopping options are abundant.

    Lugano is an exceptional peaceful small city where you can enjoy the best views of the lake. Much better place to be compared to Como the busy crowded city. We totally loved this city and all the things that offers from good food and pleasant historic buildings as well as friendly people.

    The garden and the lido are amazing! Breakfast has a very nice choice and when you can have it outside with the view to the garden it is super nice. Also all the staff is very good trained and does an excellent job. We also already stayed in several other 4 and 5 start hotels in Ticino, compared to the other option the price/ value ratio is here great!

    Opting for the extra charged breakfast was the wisest thing for me to do there. You can hardly find such a big meal for 15,- CHF in Switzerland. There were free lockers, too. The hotel building and garden was also very good. Near the railway station.
