Acquarello Swiss Quality Hotel

Acquarello Swiss Quality Hotel

📍 Piazza Cioccaro 9, Lugano
★★★ 9.2 (51 reviews)

"Excellent central location with beautiful views of the lake and river. Close to decent traditional pubs and restaurants. Would definately recommend the Tap Bar (Hanger 32) - a self service bar - for both beer and food. We had to ask to change rooms as the original room had a strange smell and scaffolding outside where renovations were being done and builders were walking. New room was much better. There were no amenities in the room such as tea or coffee and no option to get one from reception apart from some hot water. Breakfast was tasty and filling."

International au Lac Historic Lakeside Hotel

International au Lac Historic Lakeside Hotel

📍 Via Nassa 68, Lugano
★★★ 9.0 (105 reviews)

"The hotel has a great location, right by the lake. If you have luggage, it's best to take bus number 4 directly from the train station to the hotel, as the train station is on a hilltop, and the hotel is a 650-meter downhill walk. The hotel staff at the front desk are exceptionally kind, very welcoming and attentive; importantly, the male staff are handsome and the female staff are beautiful. After check-in, remember to ask the hotel reception for a free public transport card, as they need to register your information and print it out, then you can ride the bus freely. The hotel breakfast is good, especially the window seats with a pleasant lake view. In such a beautiful setting as Lugano, taking a walk along the lake, enjoying the sunshine with relaxed locals, staying in such a historic and wonderful hotel, and meeting such wonderful people is truly a fantastic experience."

ibis budget Lugano Paradiso

ibis budget Lugano Paradiso

📍 Via Geretta 10, Paradiso, Lugano
★★ 9.2 (51 reviews)

"If you want to use the budget Ibis, I do not recommend it at all, as the value of money does not suit the service provided. I do not recommend this hotel at all. There is no air conditioning, and if there is an air conditioner, it is shared, and you cannot control its cold. The room temperature was 40 degrees Celsius.😠 Overall 1 of 5 But the other IBIS hotel in the same building is better but not recommended also. The hotel location very good, brackets good. Overall 2 of 5 . "

Hotel Walter Au Lac

Hotel Walter Au Lac

📍 Piazza Riziero Rezzonico 7, Lugano
★★★ 8.9 (107 reviews)

"Very good, exceeded expectations, the location is particularly good, opposite the boat dock, the facilities in the room have been updated and maintained, not old, the balcony is small but the view is great, the only problem is that the shower is a bit small"

Hotel Delfino Lugano

Hotel Delfino Lugano

📍 Hotel Delfino Lugano, Via Cassarinetta 6, Lugano
★★★ 8.4 (93 reviews)

"The hotel is next to the railway station tracks. The bed was vibrating at night and I couldn't sleep at all. The room was very old and had a strong smell. The only advantage is that there is breakfast, which is not bad for Switzerland."

"Review Mixed feelings I stayed on a weekend solo trip whilst working elsewhere in Switzerland, and have mixed feelings about this hotel. I booked this on the basis of the rave reviews on here, which I don’t really now understand - it’s fine but not great in my view. What’s good: - Beautiful public areas in the main building - Spa, pool & sun terrace have great furnishings, very comfortable and a stunning view of the lake - Breakfast buffet is excellent quality & included in room rate. Probably the nicest croissant ever. The staff kindly opened the terrace for me (it was 18 degrees & very sunny) - Some of the staff were kind and helpful, particularly at the reception & the spa desk - Very comfortable beds, lovely linen & towels - good night’s sleep! - Nice location, a little out of the main town (15 mins walk around the lake) so peaceful & quiet - Free shuttle to Lugano train station is a nice extra, although the public bus is very convenient Less good - My room was in an ugly 1970s building with a view of the carpark. I didn’t expect a lake view (it was an additional 200 CHF per night) but this was not exactly a “garden view” as described - The room & bathroom was cluttered with random stuff- promotional booklets, mini bar snacks, bottles of toiletries - there was no space to stand even a wash bag in the bathroom. There were 4 bottles of products balanced on the edge of the bath. Please wall mount the bottles & tidy up! - I asked to borrow an iron - the one they bought had a European plug & all the in-room plugs are Swiss, so it was unusable. I don’t expect everyone to speak perfect English but even google translate could not get me a working iron! I fail to understand why you’d not have the right iron plug for the hotel sockets… - At breakfast I was asked 3 times if they should open a parasol, I politely said “no” so the staff waited for me to go to the buffet & opened it anyway! I was cold in the shade so I just left my food, which was a disappointment - I had to ask for my free tourist card for transport & museum discounts. This should be provided to all guests, had I not been aware of it then I’d have missed out On balance, for me it was overpriced, for 450 CHF per night I will likely try somewhere else next time I come to town. Not a disaster but I feel there’s likely better choices. The Best Western next door is 1/3 of the cost…"

Swiss Historic & Garten Hotel Villa Carona Hotels in Lugano

Swiss Historic & Garten Hotel Villa Carona

" definitely do not recommend the hotel. For several reasons. The most important reason is the rude behavior of the owner. We spent only two nights in the hotel out of the planned five, precisely because of his behavior towards the guests. The hotel is supposed to have wifi available, it is stated on the hotel website. Unfortunately for us, as guests who wanted to plan excursions and can't do that without a connection, we were very politely asked twice (the first time nothing happened) if they would change our room or fix or check the signal. I should point out that it worked outside our room door, but not in our room. The owner came to the room, announced that everything was working and , that we had bad phones. We have an Apple 13. What followed was the worst disappointment of our vacation. When I told him we couldn't make it up, he literally said GO AWAY. His , in my opinion submissive wife tried to apologize and change the room but we did not stay after that experience. I was very amused when my husband paid for two nights and the owner told him his English wasn't very good so I guess I misunderstood the ejection. You can only laugh at this embarrassment. Also, beware of the rooms , they are not ventilated enough and on warm days you will not sleep there. But you have to take that into account, because it's without air conditioning. The third disappointment and I would like to warn all the guests is the parking. The hotel has a parking lot 100 meters away, which is for the guests of the hotel, but also the restaurant-unfortunately you may not find a place there. And to park in this area is absolutely impossible. This has already been mentioned by another guest. "

The View Lugano

"Had such a wonderful stay at The View Lugano! Just like it's name, this lux hotel includes fantastic views of Lake Lugano and the town below. Rooms are uniquely designed and spacious. Size of hotel, location and very attentive staff made for a relaxing stay. Highlights include the amazing breakfast buffet and gorgeous pool area. We did not make use of the complimentary electric car but thought that was a terrific bonus considering the property is elevated (like a lot of the area). We definitely plan on returning to the area and look forward to visiting again."

Hotel Delfino Lugano ★★★
"The breakfast was good and rich. Has its own paid parking lot. After looking for the air conditioner remote control for a long time, it turned out to be posted on the wall near the door. The attitude of the front desk is very good. If you need to delay check-out for special reasons, it is easy to communicate."
