This place was a true gem, gorgeous grounds and a stunning historical building with 12 foot ceilings and huge windows. The beds were comfortable and the bath very clean, we loved the tropical flowers and plants and enjoyed a fantastic Italian meal at the restaurant. The decor was tasteful and inviting. Everyone was very nice and helpful, we wish we could have stayed longer to explore Lugano but we had a train to catch in the morning.

Great spot by the train station. Room small but nice and clean for the 3 of us. Aircon was great in the heat when we stayed. Staff extra helpful. Cooking facilities were great and not too crowded at meal time. Breakfast in the nearby shared hotel was excellent.. kept us going for the day. Would stay here again. We were 1 adult and a 12 and a 14 year old (girls). Highly recommend.

This is a great place if you’re looking for a place close to the train station, which was my main reason I picked the hostel. It takes a bit of time to get to the water side but not so bad to navigate. The staff that helped me upon check in was very nice and extremely helpful. The place is on the older side as far as facilities are concerned but still efficient enough. The entire property gives off an old villa vibes. Could use a couple more showers and toilets to share downstairs.

This property was fantastic for the price. It was super clean and the staff was fantastic. Super close to train station for daily excursions. My daughter was in the hostel next door with her study abroad program. This could not have been better. Such a beautiful place and within walking distance to town. Loved it!!

Hotel with Character.

Hotel with character, positioned in beautiful fern gardens. Good facilities. Good buffet breakfast in adjacent sister hotel. Next to railway station. Short walk to lake. Steep hill but okay if you are healthy.

This place was perfect for ours. Free parking. Cute (but small room). Close to funicular for getting to water. Could easily walk too. And the pool (with pool bar) was a treat after a day of walking around in the heat. Very happy. Not the cheapest though.
