"We left check-in a bit too late which came a faff as we were approaching the property on public transport. You need to check-in to obtain an entry code for the building and your room. Our own fault - we should have read the instructions earlier and checked-in to get the code. All good in the end though - the apartment was immaculate, well sited for access across the city and we'd certainly recommend to others and would revisit."

Top Lugano City-Centre Hotel Reviews

Villa Sassa

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful"

Palace Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The Palace Hotel, although pricey, was worth it for location, breakfast that was included daily and the Patio Garden restaurant was excellent! The ferry doc and ticket booth were right across the street which made it easy to use the ferry to get around the lake. The staff was excellent and helping make dinner reservations, suggest nearby restaurants to try, book our private boat tour, and also booked a private transfer for us back to Milan. We were extremely impressed when a Maserati arrived for a private transfer. The room was awesome even though we did not have a view of the lake, that did not bother us since we were only using it to sleep. They advertise the room as having a double bed, the to our surprise. It was a king-size bed! Would definitely stay here again"

Walter au Lac

10/10 Excellent

"We chose the Walter Au Lac bc it's right across the street from the lake and in a beautiful spot of the town so it was so easy for us to open our 2nd floor window and enjoy the view as well as sit on our rooms' patio deck and people watch. We really enjoyed our stay in this charming hotel. I only have 4 stars for the staff bc when I needed the evening receptionist' help, she seemed to be scolding me and lecturing me about the free Ticino Tickets (for the public transportation) that the hotel was supposed to provide due my booking thru Expedia. We did get them from the morning receptionist (although I believe the evening gal printed them for us). Overall awesome stay there!"

Hotel Cruise

8/10 Good

"When booking this hotel, we knew it wasn't in the city center or close to major sightseeing spots. However, upon arrival, we were still shocked by the location: it is situated in an industrial zone rather than a residential or commercial area. Aside from the poor location, everything else was fine, especially considering the affordable price we paid."
