    SLNH aka Hotel Nassa is well situated in city centre with a Lakeside frontage. From outside the train station Lugano Stazione, there's bus taking U to bus stop outside Hotel Nassa or like Us, took the Funicular(free) down n walked thru the City Centre/ Old Town via Via Nassa to the hotel. Hotel's location is most convenient to get to all attractions either by walks or buses, which are also free. Hotel's very clean n front office services were excellent n not forgetting the buffet breakfast n the lovely serving Lady.

    Having stayed in many 5* hotels in Switzerland, none have come close to the hospitality and enjoyment that we experienced here. A classic hotel with comfort and attention that harks back to the 'good old days' of Swiss hotels, from the breakfast to the pool, to the bar and ending at the restaurant. The helpful and friendly staff made it all possible - and everything was done in understated style.
