Wonderful hotel! It’s very conveniently located to the station, right next to the tram. The staff is extremely hospitable and helpful. Clean room and a comfortable bed.
Perfect location next to funicular to station if you are catching a train in the morning. Also in the old town and just 10 minutes walk to ferries. Desk staff were friendly & welcoming. Comfortable bed & nice to have aircon in the room.
Request for late check out because my wife wasn’t feeling too well. They were very kind helpful and friendly all the staff including those serving in the breakfast in the morning.
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.
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.
Close to the train station. Good that there's a fitness area.

Perfect placement in the town, walking distance from the lake and the train station. Very friendly staff and good facilities! Will definitely be coming back
The hotel was centrally located with easy access to the waterfront and train station. The cable car runs from the train station and ends near the hotel door.
It's a nice enough hotel, right next to the funicular that takes you to the train station. The rooms are quite dated, but the breakfast was nice the service was very good.
We loved our stay and wish we could have stayed longer. Great location. TIP from Lugano train station: GET on funicular. Exit funicular and immediately make U turn. Hotel is right there at the bottom.
Great restaurants walkable and our favorite breakfast of our trip.
Nice and well located hotel with pleasant staff. The room was not huge and the balcony looked into offices. But it was adequate and I'd stay there 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!
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.
