Very nice hotel on the Castagnola side of Lugano. The hotel is in a nice location with easy access to the trails heading to Gandria as well as central Lugano vis the #2 bus. The hotel provides a free bus pass. The hotel is well kept and a good value. The staff was very friendly and the on-site restaurant is a nice option for an appertivo or an informal dinner. Access to Mount Bre funicular and restaurants is easy via bus or on foot. Lugano is a wonderful city and this hotel is a nice base in which to visit.

The staff was wonderful. Carolina, the evening manager, was very kind, knowledgeable and helpful to us! The brkfast buffet was excellent, as were the gals managing it. The dinner menu/ food was also excellent. The room was nice wth a view of the lake. Good location down the street from busstop. Quiet area away from the bustle of Lugano Ctr. Would recommend!

We arrived later in the evening than expected and the staff was very welcoming. The breakfast was wonderful, staff held our luggage while we explored the city. My husband’s birthday was the morning we checked out and they surprised him during breakfast with a croissant and a candle. It made a special start to the day.

Uncomfortable rooms with narrow twin beds, insuficient garbage space, towels, for the included breakfast if you ask an egg they charge you 5CHF/EGG without telling it in advance. The receptionist has no time to give clarifications, he gave us a local map last day. He gave us a wrong information that costed us an afternoon and useless 30 km of dangerous road.

Wonderful!

What a lovely stay in Castagnola, near Lugano. We were there as a family -- 2 adults + 2 kids and we had a family suite. It was very clean and comfortable and the hotel staff was very kind and helpful! We only had one night in the area and were happy to find a quite place off the beaten path. Nice restaurant/bar and breakfast in the morning was included, which was fantastic. Access to the Olive Trail leading from Castagnola to Gandria was directly across the street -- it was gorgeous! We took the bus back and the stop is less than a block from the hotel so super convenient. Would absolutely recommend this property and stay there again.

Great service!

This was the best customer service I've ever had at a hotel; the female night manager helped arrange our parking, carried most of our suitcases, and even helped us buy bus tickets - at the bus stop!

While there were a few details, like too much road noise and the tv not working (could care less), the staff's friendliness and helpfulness made it a very enjoyable stay. Would stay again in heartbeat.

Rummet var rent, allt vi behövde fanns. Rummet var kylt med AC när vi kom. Bussen går precis utanför hotellet och med gästkortet kan man åka gratis buss vilket gjorde det väldigt tillgängligt och enkelt att ta sig till hotellet. Ligger 6 minuter bort från en badplats där man kan svalka sig i den vackra sjön.

Manager Caroline var otroligt trevlig och även medarbetarna som jobbade på morgonen med frukost etc. Frukosten var enkel men god, hade det nödvändigaste, mannen älskade sitt iskaffe och vi njöt av det personliga bemötandet.

Tveka inte att boka detta boendet, vi hade det underbart här.
