    Picturesque to some degree but not much to do here. Food wise all italian and not much of a variety. An over night stay is more than enough. I did not think the people were very friendly or welcoming

    We stayed for one night in between Lucerne and Lake Como.

    We stayed for one night in between Lucerne and Lake Como. It was a nice break for our trip, and easy to walk around and see the town in just one day. The town is all downhill from the train, so be prepared to walk up and down hills / steps. It’s easy going and lots of little restaurants, cafes, and shopping. The lake and scenery was beautiful, but not sure I would stay for more than a day or so.

    The most beautiful place to stay, loved every minute of it. I will definitely return. Recommend a boat tour and visiting Morcote (bring swimwear as you can get in the lake there)! Funicular tour to Monte Bre was stunning, definitely a must see. Cocktails in Flamel were dreamy, would definitely do dinner there next time.

    Lugano is beautiful town with very friendly people.

    Lugano is beautiful town with very friendly people. We drove around Lugano lake, did a hike to Monte Bre and then drove to Valle Verzasca for a swim in the amazing setting! Water is icy cold, but it didn’t stop kids enjoying themselves. We only stayed one day, so that wasn’t even a close enough to see what Lugano can offer.

    We liked the italian vibe and atmosphere. Food was excellent. People friendlier than in other parts of Switzerland. Just a note: Switzerland is very expensive. Ex: Price of a Margaritta Pizza in Switzerland close to $30, just over $20 in Milan, just 1 hour away in train.

    Very kind hotel's responsible person, he did his best, despite some issues at the check-in with the Booking portal. The portal didn't work, so they had to charge manually my credit card again. Not the receptionist's fault, though. The artists who have slept at the hotel and I booked the 3 rooms for were really satisfied about the nice cozy rooms, the amazingly comfortable beds, the heating and the view over Lugano right outside the hotel's door.

    Excellent hotel, within (relatively) easy walking distance of the Lugano train station (average 5 min - 3 min down, 7 minutes up). The hotel itself is cozy and "old skool" (you get REAL keys!), the staff is friendly, helpful and efficient, and everything works and is scrupulously clean (it is Switzerland, after all). The breakfast is excellent, as is dinner in the evening.

The view from the balcony, restaurant and pool area is magnificent and the direct lake access is superb. The gym was nice and modern. Everything was super clean. The staff and service was excellent. We highly recommend a stay here.
