The hotel has a central location ideal for exploring Lugano, and while the rooms were spacious, our experience with the management left much to be desired. Despite the initial issues and rudeness from the manager, the rest of the staff managed to be accommodating. Overall, it was disheartening that the booking did not match what we were promised, but the location and the friendly staff made our stay bearable.

Rooms
We were eventually placed in two adjoining rooms on the 4th floor, which were spacious but did not include the amenities we expected, such as a sofa or a terrace. Rating: 6/10

The manager was rude and dismissive, which overshadowed our experience. However, the other staff were friendly and helpful during our stay. Rating: 4/10

My stay at the hotel was quite mixed. On one hand, the location was excellent, right by Lugano Lake, and the staff were generally helpful. However, the room I was given was not at all what I expected, and the manager's attitude made things worse. While the breakfast was decent, it didn’t quite meet my expectations. Overall, there are definitely pros and cons that made my experience less than ideal.

My stay at the hotel was quite mixed. While the location near Lugano Lake is impressive and the staff were generally friendly, my experience with the service was frustrating, particularly at the reception. I was disappointed with the room situation, especially considering the price I paid for a family suite, which did not match what I booked. Overall, the atmosphere felt standard, and I wouldn't easily recommend this place based on my experience.

My experience at this hotel started off rocky due to a mix-up with our room, which was very frustrating. While we managed to get two adjoining rooms eventually, it was not what we had booked. However, I appreciated the hotel's central location and the cleanliness of the rooms. It's a decent option if you’re on a budget, but just be cautious about booking details.
