Villa Sassa ★★★★

📍 Via Tesserete 10, Lugano

"The hotel is on an uphill slope and the scenery is great. The breakfast has a lot of varieties, the room is large, and the balcony is also large. The hotel also has its own hot spring, so you need to wear a swimsuit. Remember to bring"

VISIONAPARTMENTS Lugano - self check-in
8.7 (50 reviews)

VISIONAPARTMENTS Lugano - self check-in ★★★

📍 Viale Carlo Cattaneo 17 A, Lugano

"Location: very convenient. There’s a bus stop less than 2 mins to and from train station. 2 buses to and from the apt. Bus goes to nearest Migros too. Convenience: Easy to self check in. Read review and procrastinated on booking this apt but was surprisingly easy and we just have to submit our passport copy for their processing. If you did not probably will have issue checking in. If we followed the instructions given no issues. Apartment: very clean, spacious and we slept like it’s our home. Kitchenette is very useful for us and also we love the washing machine and dryer facilities. Free of charge. You have to prep your washing powder. Will definitely stay here if I revisit. Highly recommended"

Hotel&Hostel Montarina
8.6 (47 reviews)

Hotel&Hostel Montarina ★★

📍 Via Montarina 1, Lugano

"The room was spacious, the surrounding environment was nice, and it was very close to the train station. We checked in at 11:30 pm that night, and the owner was still waiting for us, which was very touching. The only downside was carrying our luggage up the stairs."

Acquarello Swiss Quality Hotel
9.3 (53 reviews)

Acquarello Swiss Quality Hotel ★★★

📍 Piazza Cioccaro 9, Lugano

"The hotel's location is very convenient. After arriving at the train station, take the cable car down one stop, turn right after exiting the station, and the hotel is right there. It's very convenient to get around, and the hotel provides a local transportation card. The breakfast is quite plentiful, and you can even make your own orange juice. Because the cable car station is right outside, it can be a bit noisy, but it gets quiet in the evening when the cable car stops operating. The hotel provides earplugs."

Hotel Lido Seegarten
8.8 (72 reviews)

Hotel Lido Seegarten ★★★★

📍 Viale Castagnola 22, Lugano

"The lake view is fantastic. Sitting on the balcony watching the lake is enjoyable. Worth visiting."

"Reception closed at 5:00 p.m. Key left in a box. No more breakfast after 9:30 a.m. We were refused at 10:00 a.m. And no phone in the room. If something happens we can't reach anyone. Never again."

"We would like to say a special thank you to Marina, Gock(?) Davide and Christyna at the front desk. They were very, very helpful arranging or helping us with travel arrangements. The spa was very, very good and all of the facilities at the luxury hotel were extremely good. We were fortunate enough to get upgraded, and the view from our balcony across the lake was spectacular. The mountains, the scenery. Everything was very, very beautiful except for the rain."

The location is good, the place is very atmospheric and authentic... the food in the restaurant is delicious, the breakfasts are varied... it’s a pity that the room service is only up to 22(((spa zone is too small even for two, and it’s a pity that there is no pool inside the villa"

Colorado Hotel Hotels in Lugano

Colorado Hotel

"Very difficult to find as sat nav kept sending us down dead end roads, however once we did ,we arrived at the rear entrance which was shared by the local garage and bike hire s it was not immediately clear if we were in the right place. First impressions were of a very dated old fashioned hotel, with dusty old stair carpet and a cluttered reception area. We were promised a free travel card , but this was not forthcoming. Reception was rarely occupied (perhaps we were the only residents ??) so had little chance to chase this up. Room was spotlessly clean , but very small and hot. The air con did not seem to work. Shower was on a tap mixer which was bit like playing chicken with the varying temperature. However good location if you don't mind the short walk up the hill, staff were very helpful (when you saw one) Parking was available at a cost. For 2 nights it was OK, but doubt a family or longer stay is sustainable. Lugano itself felt very safe, but very expensive. Boat rips were good and the general location was spectacular with views over the lake and mountains."

San Carlo Suite Hotels in Lugano

San Carlo Suite

"Very friendly and serviceminded Frontdesk staff both in the morning and in the evening. Clean room and great location close to trainstation and Lake Lugano. Breakfast staff very efficient and nice. Would love to come back to beautiful Lugano."

Hotel Federale Lugano Hotels in Lugano

Hotel Federale Lugano

"We love our stay at Hotel Federale Lugano. The receptionists are very helpful. They even printed us the schedule of buses and helped planning our itineraries to Menagio - Varenna. The breakfast staff was very nice and warm. On the easter day, they gave us Easter bunny chocolate and wishes us happy Easter. Every morning the staff will also make a smile face on our coffee. Thank you for making our trip memorable! Location: next to the train station and beautiful cathedral!"

ibis budget Lugano Paradiso ★★
"Very good hotel. Although the room is a little small, it is fully functional. The key is that you can park your car, and it is very convenient to get in and out. There are also large supermarkets around for shopping. It is worth recommending to everyone and gives a big thumbs up."

Acquarello Swiss Quality Hotel ★★★
"The location is excellent, in the heart of the old town, very close to the elevator to the train station. The room was very clean. The facilities are similar to those of a budget hotel; the equipment is a bit outdated, the shower in the bathroom is small, and the bed creaks when you turn over. The breakfast was decent, with coffee, juice, fruit, cheese, ham, and various breads."
