No signage to indicate where rooms are
This is a self service hotel and it took me 20 minutes to find my room. There is absolutely NO signage. The room was large, slightly tatty and reasonably comfortable. The breakfast was nice and the staff were polite. I can't believe they don't leave a map to show where rooms are.

The room itself was excellent, very spacious. Bathroom was outdated and couch was old. Hotel is a bit dated as well. Parking was not well defined, but was in attached garage. Main issue was lack of onsite front desk personnel. We only saw someone there when we checked in, and then no one for 3-days, including at check out. Assistance was a phone at front desk. This is a satellite to luxury hotel across street.

This hotel might used to be in the 4 star rating category, but that was at the time I went through potty training. The price is not justified at all, no parking spaces available, self-checkin, heater broken, balcony a joke, bathroom not clean at all. Very disappointing and I will be looking into a full refund.

Smaller, boutique hotel with all of the amenities for a lovely stay. The staff was unbelievably helpful and over the top accommodating! They have full Spa services and the masseuse was a complete doll with great hands! I would love to stay there again and highly recommend to all!!

Spacious Room
The room that we stayed can easily qualify as a suite, with a separate living room and a walk-in wardrobe. The interior furnishing were recently reupholstered though the lift lobby and corridor may need some upgrading. Overall, we had a comfortable stay.

this is the sister hotel of the Leonardo, which is next door. The residence gives you a slightly bigger room+bigger and is better for a family, while the Leonardo has the views of the lake and is more for a couple. Either way the restaurant in the Leonardo and the bar are amongst the best in Lugano.

Nice hotel but not easy to find
The road system in Lugano with its lanes , one way systems and traffic volumes makes the hotel rather difficult to find and even difficult to relocate after driving into the town. My advice is look for signs to Leopoldo Hotel which is the hotel next door. When you find it you will find a lovely hotel with friendly staff . Our room was a split level affair overlooking the swimming pool. The breakfast was a bit , style over substance ' though.
