Acquarello Swiss Quality Hotel, hotel in Lugano

The Hotel Acquarello is located in the Old Town of Lugano, right at the lower terminus of the funicular connecting the center to the main railway station.

What a lovely hotel in the heart of the city. So conveniently located downtown, right above /on the funicular station, and still quiet - so easy to get up/down to the train/bus station in less than 5 minutes. Conveniently located right next to the lake, park, historical old town, restaurants, stores. So tidy and clean, and thoughtful. My room was tiny with some window over the roof view, but so ergonomic and comfortable, Breakfast was delicious with quite a variety. But most of all - hotel staff, so polite, courteous and welcoming. I loved my little treat upon arrival and safety kit in the room with complimentary water too.

Hotel Pestalozzi Lugano, hotel in Lugano

In the center of Lugano, Hotel Pestalozzi is only 500 ft from the shores of Lake Lugano. Free Wi-Fi is available.

The location. It’s walkable to the lake, the shopping areas, with busses passing in front of the hotel. The rooms were clean and roomy with a balcony that is high-up that you see the whole town and mountains and are beautiful at night. Bathroom is clean. Breakfast in the morning is typical of the area but the fresh coffee is good, shout-out to Claudio, he is a gem and very attentive.

    The general vibe and lakeside location is spectacular. Not much on restaurant front but for day trips to the surrounding area the base point is super. The free travel card offering discounts to sights in the area was much valued.

    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.

    Close to the train station and only 10 minutes walk into the old town Excellent restaurant serving food of the highest standard. We had the 4 course set menu, Menu Vesuviuo (fish) and Menu Salvatore (meat), one each of the two nights we were at the hotel. Both were outstanding and were good value for money, especially for Switzerland, which is notoriously expensive. Nice hotel bar with tables on the terrace and in the lovely garden area. Happy Hour from 5-6pm was a bonus!

    Quiet location above Lugano, large rooms with proper AC. Staff pleasant and helpful. Large outside pool was appreciated by all. Breakfast buffet was reasonable, but low fat/low sugar options were few. Restaurant in the evening offers buffet or pizza. Neither were great, but the local restaurant about 9 min walk away called Balmelli was superb (fab food prepared by 2 Italian Chefs, lovely service and reasonably priced within Switzerland for the standards).
