Had to walk up 37 steps to the room. Hotel has no elevator. Room was tiny and I had to lower my head to enter the bathroom. Almost no taxis in that area. It did have a good breakfast.

Restaurant,room cleanliness, Service was friendly. The only Problem was the noise, Television in neighbouring room so loud it was like in your room. Even with earplugs it was difficult to sleep. There was a notice saying not to use Television loudly at night. Unfortunately not observed.

Right overlooking the lake which is fabulous. We upgraded to lake view and I’d higjly recommend that. Hotel is over a restaurant. Hotel is upstairs and a little old & in need of a renovation BUT the lake view and lake surroundings were all you notice. We stayed 1 night & we’d definitely stay again Very reasonably priced. There was a portable air con Unit in the room for which we were very grateful as it was 29’/30’

Great food and Ambiance!
Hospitable and welcoming! Great service and room. Loved the food during breakfast and the available diner -- a busy place but worth it all. The only disadvantage is transportation - taxis are expensive and difficult to find!

Not the best experience we've had
The wifi didn't work in the room, the second floor room we had was really low and you could here every sound that came from outside or from an another room. So not the best experience but very cheap and nice location by the lake. Also the pizza in the restaurant was great!

Autumn break by Lake Lugano
Hotel has a fine location near the lake; views are very nice (and better if you have a balcony space too). Always good parking and a very good restaurant with a vast menu available (almost too many too choose from - and always with very large portions!) Very friendly staff and helpful.

Great family run hotel in a stunning location.
This is a great little hotel situated right on the shores of Lake Lugano with comfortable rooms and a fantastic pizzeria on site with wonderful food at very good prices, The rooms are comfortable if not luxurious but have everything you could want - book a lake view - you get a balcony with a panorama of the lake you will never forgot.

Just a few problems
Hotel and service were generally fine. Just two problems: 1) highway/street runs between the hotel and street (ruins the otherwise gorgeous view ... and can be fairly noisy during the day); 2) Internet did not work properly. Service was great and, overall, made up for these problems.

Lugano trip
The rooms are OK, but the walls are fairly thin and there is quite a bit of noise from the other rooms and the hallway. The worst part is there were insects in our room, such as fly, ant, and mosquito... In addition, we can not open our windows because there are 4 big garbage cans sit under the window. Wi-Fi connection was poor. Overall, we got bad experience.

Too far from Lugano to be used as a night halt.
There's an airport en route Lugano, which causes traffic pileup and makes the drive to this place a 1 hr affair. Not advised for a night acco for Lugano. Hotel is fine. No issues with the hotel. Has a nice italian restaurant attached and on the picturesque lugano lake.

Noisy rooms
Looked ok on outside, but bit isolated, however not in a nice peaceful setting kind of way. Friendly staff and got an upgrade which we thought was nice. However we could hear alot going on next door. To the point we could hear CLEARLY our neighbours peeing etc. The walls all round must have been very thin. No footpaths for walking either by the nice lake which is not the hotels fault however.
