    Location was excellent, center of the town; style of the room great, amazing bathroom, cleanliness excellent, staff was very helpful

    Nothing, was great

    8dougPosted on: 10-4-2025

    Great location/ entrance is epic old world- staff was great. Breakfast a bit expensive if you did not add it to the room during booking

    10LisaPosted on: 9-22-2025

    Great location. Very friendly, helpful staff. Comfortable room with air conditioning.

    10CharlesPosted on: 7-23-2025

    The desk person upgraded our rooms to very luxurious rooms, out of pure kindness. The hotel was immaculate , quiet, air conditioned. Location is perfect, close to large center parking garage, center to old town

    There was nothing we disliked

    Location, staff

    Noisy room, little light

    6SilviaPosted on: 6-23-2025

    Great location, central

    Not clear about the fact that the parking is not included. They have a discount with a partner parking for which you have to pay a value that is not to ignore. The personnel at the end, moment of check out, very unpleasant and passive aggressive. In the hospitality universe this is not acceptable. For this reason I would return nor recommend as I find the stay expensive, and having to deal with unpleasant people doesn’t pay off.

    10LarryPosted on: 6-19-2025

    Our room was beautifully updated. The building is very unique and lovely. The restaurant and deli are fantastic! Very close to walk to everything in town. Very safe area.

    Hmmm....nothing.

    10AndreaPosted on: 5-24-2025

    Location was wonderful to reach by public transport. Room had fantastic appointments. Staff at reception were so very accommodating.

    Nothing, I only wish we were staying longer.

    10MagnusPosted on: 4-8-2025

    The ambiance is very Italian and the hotel with its restaurants are very beautiful. The staff is professional and nice. The hotel is smack in the center of Lugano. The rooms could be made more charming to match the restaurants, although they work well.

    Beautiful place in the middle of the old town. Very friendly staff, great bathroom and delicious breakfast. Excellent restaurant. The stay came with entry coupons for an exclusive club and discount vouchers for their shop.

    8ReynoldPosted on: 2-12-2025

    Excellent location and nice restaurant on site

    The room too small and breakfast not interesting. Lift not working and had to carry luggage over 2 floors

    9TatjanaPosted on: 1-24-2025

    Wonderful.

    Strong perfume in the room (no doubt: with good intention) can trigger migraine (happened to me) and is not necessarily the taste of everybody, especially when all the textile in the room gets impregnated with it...

    9ChristinePosted on: 1-6-2025

    breakfast was fab. boiled eggs perfect

    quite noisy on occasions but it is a restaurant. and wine bar

    8PhilipPosted on: 12-29-2024

    Excellent location in the centre of the city with plenty of restaurants nearby (also for breakfast). Friendly and flexible personel (English speaking too). Comfortable and spacious room (especially the shower!).

    Room dark and directly over the cafe in the buiding (ear plugs were provided!).

    6SoniaPosted on: 11-25-2024

    The location is perfect; the building and coffee shop is very picturesque

    Didn’t appreciate how small was the room or the cold green color that didn’t give a warm, comfortable feeling

    6PanagiotisPosted on: 10-29-2024

    Perfect location and very nice restaurant in the Hotel.Clean and comfortable beds.

    The room was very expensive for what it was. No physical light, all windows were facing the interior of the palazzo and it was very noisy during the whole day, as at the ground floor is the Hotel restaurant which is open all day also to non hotel customers.Also there was no desk in the room and no smart tv. Overall is a nice hotel but be aware of which room you book. Opt for rooms with physical light not looking at the interior.
