    Pros +

    • The staff was friendly and helpful. They provided us with bus passes for the area. The room was clean. The hotel was a few minutes walk away from the train station and there's a bus stop a few yards (meters) from the door. There was free laundry service.
    • Walkable, flexible check in, comfortable but tight.
    • Close to grocery store, waterfront and bus stops.Very quiet for sleeping.

    Cons -

    • This is really a minor point, but the left washing machine continued to cycle over and over. It washed our clothes for several hours.
    • Stove top didn’t work for tea pot. No utensils at all provided. Why provide kitchen with no utensils. YouNeed to “rent” upon arrival. What a joke
    • Coffee and tea with cups not replenished daily.garbage not emptied daily.Info re which bus to take from train station and which stop to get off on would have been helpful.

    Comfortable, good location, helpful staff

    4TimPosted on: 10-4-2025

    The location is solid and a short walk to the centre

    The walls are super thin and it's hard to get a good night's sleep. The linens were dirty.

    8AlexPosted on: 10-2-2025

    They provide a free ticket for public transport in Lugano during the stay, so good!

    They have a full fleshed kitchen but no cutlery or dishes.

    6PatriciaPosted on: 10-2-2025

    Hotel itself was quite nice, location is good

    Room itself was okay, the worst part is the bathroom and especially SHOWER was horrendeous! The shower is tiny, shower curtain is sticking to your body when showering, so nasty! Shower hook was broken

    8CassiePosted on: 10-1-2025

    Staff friendly and helpful. Easy access to bus for onward travel. Easy check in and check out. Decent facilities in room e.g. little kitchenette, balcony and ensuite.

    9SharonPosted on: 8-27-2025

    Location great, half hour walking to the center, staff is friendly. Payed parking behind the hotel. Comfortable bed. I found it great for a few nights. Rooms is spacious

    Small shower, which i was expecting because I read other comments. Air conditioning was noisy, but I also expected this so was ok.

    8Simone C.Posted on: 8-11-2025

    The location is great, the staff is really kid. I was able to bring my dog and everyone was super kind and nice. The hotel is also very clean and the room is well equipped with fridge, microwave... really handy.

    My only complain is about the shower and the plastic curtains in the bathroom. It makes the bathroom really we while taking shower

    2MiroslavPosted on: 7-25-2025

    Dirty bathroom,toalet, shower.. not recommended.

    This stay absolutely exceeded our expectations! The location is fantastic, and we were lucky to book a room with a balcony and a beautiful view—such a bonus. The room had a small kitchen, which was incredibly helpful and well equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay.The reception staff were kind and very helpful throughout our visit. We were pleasantly surprised to receive free bus passes for the duration of our stay—a thoughtful and convenient touch.One more great surprise: the property has a laundry room! That was especially appreciated since we were traveling for an extended time. All in all, a wonderful experience—would definitely return!

    9ConnerPosted on: 5-28-2025

    Price, location, facilities were all on point. Staff at the front desk was great. Self-service laundry included with room charge, perfect for those who are on longer trips.

    If you are a light sleeper, bring earplugs; especially if your room faces the road. But this is a small thing.

    7MaryPosted on: 5-14-2025

    Good location and the bus was very handy. It was a bonus to have free public transport as well

    It is no use having a kitchen without any utensils. Not even a cup to make a cup of tea!

    9CarolinePosted on: 5-12-2025

    the location was fine, everything was easy to get to by bus. There wasn’t much to do around the hotel besides restaurants but that’s okay because it was more of a relaxing trip for myself. The lake was beautiful. Ate at the snack bar across the street once during the day and it was very good. The staff were really nice and answered quickly to messeges. The bed was also comfy.

    The only thing I didn’t like is I don’t understand why kitchen utensils, plates, cups, etc come with the room. I knew ahead of time that you had to pay to have those which is fine. I bought bread, cheese, and ham to make a sandwitch and there wasn’t even a plate.

    8AntoinePosted on: 5-3-2025

    The location was great , close to train station and also to the funicular to Mount San Salvatore and also to Parco Ciani.As per the rooms we had one very small and the other one without a wardrobe.The staff was helpful and that's greatIf they upgrade a bit this will be fantastic to guests

    9CatherinePosted on: 4-28-2025

    Quirky interior in reception area.Bar /coffee shop (OK Snack Bar) opposite beside BP station. More than a snack bar. Very friendly staff.Easy transit on bus one stop from train station. Ticket for public transport can be obtained through hotel before arrival. Store in Google wallet etc.We walked from station.Large bathroom.Large storage area. Good for lots of luggage.

    No TVNeed to rent kitchen equipment if needed.No utensils.

    8LestiniPosted on: 4-13-2025

    Check in and check out , location and very clean

    A TV in the room would have been appreciated

    8PaolaPosted on: 4-12-2025

    The hotel is comfortable and clean, the location is excellent, but the kitchen is almost empty

    8AndrewPosted on: 4-10-2025

    We chose this accommodation because it had a kitchen so we could self-cater. Only AFTER we made the booking did we receive advice that we had to pay an extra 15CHF (that’s $30AUD) for dishes, and pans utensils etc. This could have been advised in the listing in Booking.com.
