Was in a quiet part of the lake but still accessible to the main city and all the transport boats. Breakfast was great and so was the restaurant downstairs for dinner.

Location was right across the street from the lake. Easily walk to the bus stop, the boat dock, and numerous restaurants. The view of the lake from our balcony was incredible!

Location is really great. 5 mins walk to Paradiso Train Station and Migros. Bus stop is next to hotel and 2 mins walk to Paradiso boat pier. Old hotel with bigger room. Beautiful lake view but not good facilities. The breakfast is good though. Overall, you got what you pay for.

This property has a long heritage. It was built in 1885. However, it’s pinnacle has past. It was a good place to lay our heads and the choice was a value level selection at a value level price. No regrets.

Staff were very nice. Location and view was beautiful. Property desperatly needs updating everywhere from the reception, restaurant and rooms. Very gaudy!! Time to let go of the past and move on or no one will be staying at your property. We will not be back.

While this property is older it is lovely and functions without problem. The staff is friendly and inviting. Breakfast is delicious and the views of the lake are gorgeous. It is farther from the town center but is worth the 10 minute walk along the lake or the 1 minute bus trip.
The AC was an added bonus!
My only negative is that it smells heavily of cigarette smoke.

While the building was showing its age with its creaky, carpeted floors, dim lighting, and faded furniture, it was great in the places that mattered most to us. The beds were clean and comfortable, the bathroom was very, very spacious, the air conditioner worked consistently well throughout our stay, and it was very quiet throughout the night.
Breakfast options were limited to cold options (other than the option to boil your eggs and toast your bread) but the coffee was freshly made to order and you could sit outside on their balcony to enjoy your meal if you wanted.
Would stay again!

Sehr gute Lage, sehr schöne Zimmer mit Blick auf den See und Balkon. Die Deko im Frühstücksraum und die Bilder in den Gängen sind "gewöhnungsbedürftig". Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder!

Das Hotel ist an einer sehr schönen Lage direkt am See mit wunderbarem Ausblick. Lugano Center ist serh gut in eienm gemütlichen 10-15min Spaziergang an der Promenade erreichbar. Das Hotel ist leider ziemlich veraltet und wrde teilweise halbsaniert Das Bett ist bequem jedoch lässt das Zimmer ansonsten zu wünschen übrig. Auch die neue Duschakabine die gemacht wurde ist nicht in einem guten Zustand. Das Morgenbuffet war jedoch wieder recht gut und es hat mir an nichts gefehlt.

Hotel decisamente datato che necessita di intensi lavori di manutenzione e ammodernamento. Sembra il tempo si sia fermato agli anni 60/70. Personale molto disponibile.
