Great location. We arrived by train and it was a quick funicular trip down from the station and the hotel is right there. Rooms are small but they have everything you need. The staff are super helpful and we even received blocks of Swiss chocolate on arrival, which was a nice touch.

This hotel is right down the funicular from the Lugano train station.....no lugging your baggage, just wonderful!!
If I were to be in Lugano again, this is the hotel where I would stay again!

Loved it! Loved it! Loved it! The best of 6 hotels on my visit to Schys. Attractive, spacious comfortable rooms. Great location , just steps from the funicular to the station. Two min. from hotel to station via funicular! Plenty of restaurants and shops steps away. And Lugano itself is as lovely as advertised. Would I stay again? Absolutely! Ten plus!

The marketing does not do this place justice! From pictures online, I was skeptical, but the location and quality of this hotel was above my expectations. The room was nice, bed comfy and breakfast abundant! The entrance is hidden behind large plants as the hotel is tucked into a corner at the base of the funicular. No noise problem!

Excellent location! When you arrive at the train station, take the funicular down and as soon as you get off turn right- the hotel is in that back corner beside cafe Milano. Rooms were recently renovated, great breakfast, and friendly staff. We would definitely stay here again.

We stayed here one night with our toddler and it was great, very clean very easy to get too! No great views out the window but that’s totally fine for our over night stay
Staff was friendly and gave us a crib for our toddler and allowed us to turn on the AC unit because with the windows open we had a couple of mosquitos

Easy walk from the train station to the hotel.
Take the funicular down from the train station and the hotel is immediately on the right. Right in the middle of old town so it was a good location. A decent hotel for the price. The room was small, but definitely adequate for our needs. Staff was super helpful and the breakfast good. The only negative was the sheets were not soft and a bit scratchy.

Conveniently located

Hotel is conveniently close to the train station and right next to the funicular that runs from train station to city center. Nothing special about this hotel. Needs major renovation.

Great location in Lugano.

Communication with the hotel was easy once we booked. They informed us of where to park our car and it was slight reduced parking rate as hotel guest. Breakfast was decent. Great location in Lugano. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Lugano solo trip

The place has good reception service. The room is clean and moderately modern. The location is at the center of the city and about 10 min from Lugano station. However, the noise from the funicular can be quite disturbing. If you’re sensitive to noise then you go somewhere else otherwise highly recommended.

Convenient and comfortable

Excellent location directly by public transport and main shopping and dining area. Small breakfast buffet but excellent quality. Check in and out were efficient and easy. Parking is a 3 minute walk from the hotel and the funicular adjacent to the entrance makes arrival by train extremely convenient.

Conveniently located hotel for exploring Lugano

The hotel is conveniently positioned in the town centre, near the train station and the lake. The hotel room was comfortable and the breakfast was very tasty with a good selection of products.

The funicular that passes through the hotel building is a fun novelty as well as being very convenient!

Perfect “drop your stuff and go” hotel

Perfect for what it is! Right downtown in the heart of Lugano it is the ideal drop your stuff and go hotel. The staff is friendly, the hotel is clean, and for Lugano, it is a very reasonable price. Ideal for those who want to spend their time exploring Ticino and have a comfortable bed/clean bathroom to return to

The location of the hotel is just at the station of funicular, which is very convenient for tourist.
The funicular goes through the hotel just under my room on the 3rd floor. Although it is noise, but it is also interesting to seeing outside the window. I am not sensitive when I am sleeping. So it doesn't bother me.

Amazingly cute little hotel in the centre, so close to everything and despite the noise of the funicular it wasn’t too loud! The staff polite and efficient, we requested an early check in on the day as my partner was not feeling very well, we had our room within an hour and given a travel ticket that gave us free transport and discounts. The breakfast was a good spread and tidy.

The location of the hotel is fantastic and it's clean. The downside, they should inform about the cable car noise before you complete the booking (as it's not refundable) and its really loud. The cable car comes and goes every 5 minutes. Staff are like robots, they get the job done, but forget them to be friendly.

A bit dated and bathroom too small

While the position is ideal, the hotel would benefit from some renovation.
Especially to increase the size of the bathroom, taking a couple of square meters from the room to make the bathroom bigger would go a long way.

AVOID!!

I booked this hotel for a weekend in Lugano with my wife. Lugano is beautiful and well worth a visit. The low point of our stay was this hotel unfortunately.

We arrived after a long journey to check in. The manager on hearing my name immediately looked up from the computer and told me that only my name was on the booking (an oversight on my part) and that for my wife to stay, I would have to pay an additional 49 Swiss Francs - about 50% the original price I paid for the room.
I explained it was a mistake to have booked the room for one person, and since it was a double room I did not see why I would have to pay a surcharge. The manager didn't care and just said \"it's only 49 Francs\".

I phoned expedia to see if anything could be done, and to their credit, they did their best to try to remedy the situation (they contacted the manager to no avail). I was disappointed to be informed that had I phoned ahead and told the hotel that I had an extra guest, I wouldn't have been charged, which made me feel like I'd been ripped off, probably because I had been.

For the money this hotel ended up costing me, I could have stayed at a decent establishment. The dishonesty, above all, left a very bad taste in my mouth.

Very good hotel in the heart of Lugano city centre

The location is great. Next to the funicular which takes you to the main train station. It is also close to the lake and all the shops you want. The hotel is clean. The staff are very friendly and helpful and speak very good English. The beds were comfortable and the facilities good. The air conditioning worked really well and the fridge was decent with free bottle of water. The rooms have been newly refurbished and are arty and stylish.
The downside is that if you have the A/C off, you will hear the funicular going up and down the city. The noise isn't terrible but if you are a light sleeper, you'll need ear plugs, like I did, or to keep the A/C on like my friends did.
I would stay here again especially for the perfect location.

Stay here for the location! Extremely convenient to train station. Just take the funicular down and the hotel is right there. Only a few blocks from the lake as well.

The room was clean and basic. First hotel in 7 nights throughout Switzerland we had with AC, but it was the worst shower I think I’ve ever used. So small my husband had to turn the shower head and open the door to lather soap before rinsing off.
