Dhanatcha, Thailand

Had the best sleep. Very comfy bed. Room was lake view...Bellisima!!

Brooks, United States of America

We loved our view over the lake! Waking up to the sun rising over the hills opposite the hotel was incredibly beautiful! The room was very clean, a bit old fashioned, but that’s the charm of an old Victorian hotel (from 1885!) everything was functional and the staff very nice and helpful at any time! We will definitely come back!

Catia, Germany

Nothing much except the view but you could always walk to the park for the view.

This hotel had beautiful view of the lake just across the street from the water. The hotel is a bit outdated. The breakfast spread was very delicious with a view of the lake.

One of our best sellers in Lugano! Built in 1884, Hotel Victoria in Lugano-Paradiso stands right on the shore of Lake Lugano and offers panoramic views over the bay and of Mount Bre. All rooms were completely renovated in 2015 and come with a mini-bar, a flat-screen TV and free WiFi.

There are 2 reasonably-priced restaurants/pizzerias on site, offering views of the lake and of the palm tree-lined avenue in front of Hotel Victoria. During summer you can dine outside on the charming terrace. The well-known Dancing Club Cecil is also located on site and offers live music on weekends. It is completely soundproofed.

A short walk away, you can find a bank, a hairdresser, a public swimming pool and the funicular up the San Salvatore Mountain.

Public parking on the roads is free of charge in the evenings and during the night. A public car park is available for a fee in the immediate vicinity.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 8.7 for a two-person trip.

Lobby was garish, not at all welcoming. Room A/C remote was not working. Construction project marred view of the lake. Shower water temp changed constantly. Wall covering was water stained. Wall “art” looked like it came straight from Walmart or Goodwill.
Breakfast was good. Breakfast room was pretty and had a nice view of the lake. Charming coffee service.

“DON’T STAY HERE”

- • Stayed 4 nights

I can’t believe the price I had to pay to stay here. The hotel has a night club downstairs where prostitutes scout for clients! So, this is not a family friendly hotel neither a sleep-friendly hotel since you’ll be hearing loud music until 4 am (and I stayed on the highest floor). The building is historical, yes, but the installations are very poor. This is NOT a three star quality hotel, I don’t know how they even got that third star. The beds are ancient and the bed linen smelled bad, the air conditioning needed a bucket underneath it to catch water dripping from the machine, the carpet was filthy... Oh! And the breakfast included in the price? No fruit only lots and lots of jams of all flavors and bad coffee. I left the hotel before my departing date because I couldn’t stand the place any longer. When I told the man at the desk that I was leaving because the hotel wasn’t what I had paid he simply said: “Okay” and gave me my receipt. No apologies, no interest in what they could improve. Clearly, I’m not the first person to leave that hotel before their departure date. Just take my advice: don’t stay here.
The hotel is near the lake BUT...(see negative comments)

No directions to parking so drove around and around till found. Bar / Restaurant were on adjacent street so you just felt like a walk in. Rooms were tired our door handle fell off the toilet seat was fitted by a gibbon and would swivel around. On check out we were charged £20 more than Booking.com stated. After some debate one of our party had the parking refunded. All in all won’t go back.
Staff were friendly location was amazing

Although excellent location in many ways if you have heavy cases and you are tired need taxi from railway station. This is quite pricey and returning to station can be very tedious route due to oe way streets. But there is a bus for the light traveller or a 25 min walk from the furnicular.
location wonderful views. specify room with balcony. lovely dining room with heplful staff but only breakfast served there. street level restaurant practical but we prefferred to eat dinner elsewhere. Curious/mysterious nightclub within the hotel.

Didn't feel very welcome. Not a single smile from any of the staff. Receptionist didn't help with parking, didn't care. Restaurants around the hotel are tourist traps and very pricey. Better take your car and get out of the center (we found an Irish Pub 2 miles from the hotel: good food)
Ideally located in front of Lugano Lake. Beautiful view. Not ideal if you have a car: overpriced parking lot (20 bucks) and parking in the street not possible if more than one hour. Good breakfast.

At the breakfast, they seem under-staffed. There were not enough cups, glasses etc.. ready for guests and it was necessary to keep asking and waiting for things to arrive. Also there were birds flying into the breakfast area which was not hygienic.
The location overlooking the lake was wonderful. The double room had a lovely large balcony which was great to use in the evening. The bathroom was also very large and the room had plenty of cupboard, wardrobe and draw space which I liked very much.
