This family-owned hotel is centrally located just a short walk from Lugano town center and its breathtaking lakeshore, and the famous Piazza Riforma with its many sidewalk cafés. Located in a quiet spot halfway up a hill, the hotel is just a short 3-minute walk from the train station, and provides quiet rooms in a green corner of the city. Many rooms have a balcony view of Monte Bré, or overlook the town. The hotel is the perfect choice for both leisure and business travelers. Its restaurant offers elegant simplicity, and the bar is ideal for a relaxing evening drink. The hotel also features limited meeting facilities.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.4 for a two-person trip.

Short walk from the train station. Great location to visit the town. Restaurant was great and customer service friendly.
George
United States United States
Location: up the hill from the lake front, next to train/bus station. Perfect for us as we had a bus trip and could walk from Hotel. Be aware there are steep hills and it is difficult to drag your luggage around. Property: very nice “old world”...

The location is great- just down from the train station. Front desk folks were lovely, room was just as described, clean and welcoming. What I loved about this hotel is that we got exactly what we thought we’d get- a comfortable room, great...

What a great place to stay! The staff were so friendly and accommodating. There were a few reviews about the steep climb to the hotel but it was absolutely easy and no big deal. Highly recommended!
