    It was very noisy if you opened the window. Our room was at the corner and therefore at the junction of 2 major streets. It was very noisy starting at 7 am to about 7 pm. With the window closed it muffled the sound.

    It was well situated

    The pillows were absolutely awful! The bacon needs to be cooked. I don't fault them much on this as most folks there don't eat it, but it was basically raw.

    Location was perfect within a block of the lake and right across the street from the bus station. You also get the Ticino ticket with your stay. However, we had to have the kind lady at the desk print it out because booking.com didn't send the voucher....until the day we checked out. It allows free public transportation and discounts to area attractions. Free breakfast was decent, mostly continental. They had scrambled eggs and barely cooked bacon available. The room was clean and had a cute little balcony.

    While grandparents room was quiet, the larger jr suite was plagued by noise from the big music festival nearby. The air conditioning did not seem to be working efficiently which necessitated the open windows.

    The hotel was right across from bus depot and an easy walk to most everything. Lovely breakfast with a good selection of both hot and cold items. The staff could not have been more helpful. I especially liked the lounge area on the third floor where my whole family could gather.

    Well designed room with lots of surface space. Particularly comfy bed. Air conditioning really did work. Natural light bathroom. Hot water and WiFi fine. Adequate breakfast. Seating in shaded garden. Coffee machine on landing was much appreciated.

    Very noisy. Traffic, car horns, rev heads in cars with loud exhausts, we had the lot. We were in what was described as a garden view room, but there was no garden, only a large paved area used by delivery vehicles and close to the main road. Prior advice about which buses to catch, from where and in which direction, would have saved the drama about locating the property. Google maps were somewhat helpful, but if we had been told to catch the No 2 or 4 bus to Lugano Central we wouldn't have wandered around in circles. No matter, we worked it out in the end. Other properties have been much more precise in their directions. Also, receiving long emails entirely in German when they knew we were Australian, was plain dumb.

    Fantastic location, great breakfast and very helpful staff. Coffee-making facilities at the end of our corridor. Bar fridge in room. Ice and glasses willingly provided on request.

    Into the room there is no mirror. You have only the little one in the bathroom. There is also no coffee machine in the room. Old tv.

    I received an upgrade, a bigger room. Breakfast is available at 7 and the employee who works there is very kind. You can reach by feet the lake and few restaurants downtown.
