Hotel Federale, hotel in Lugano

This family-owned hotel is centrally located just a short walk from Lugano town center and its breathtaking lakeshore, and the famous Piazza Riforma with its many sidewalk cafés.

The breakfast at Hotel Federale offers an excellent variety of options, catering to different tastes with both continental and local dishes. The location is excellent, situated conveniently near the city center and cathedral making it easy to access major attractions and transportation. Overall, it provides a comfortable and satisfying experience for guests. My favorite part is having breakfast with the owner 3 days in a row. Dinner at Hotel Federale is generally well-regarded, offering a selection of well-prepared dishes that highlight local and international cuisine. The restaurant ambiance is pleasant and the service is attentive. It's a good choice for both a casual meal and a more formal dining experience. Huge bonus when the chef says Hi to all the guest's.

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.

They agreed to change our room after allocating us the wrong one. We understood that this was deliberately done and if we had not complained they would have gotten away with it 😞😞😞 without considering we had paid more for our room. All staff are very friendly and welcoming.

Top notch location with amazing views of the lake. Very likable international staff! We loved the room’s furnishings, comfortable bathroom with a powerful shower.

    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.
