Top Lugano Hotel Reviews

LUGANODANTE Boutique & Lifestyle Hotel

LUGANODANTE Boutique & Lifestyle Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This location is excellent, very convenient to train station. The staff is very polite and helpful. Breakfast, drinks and snacks are so good and convenient. Room was comfortable, not large but very clean and comfortable. This property was always great but it’s better than ever based on our stay. Five stars!"

Hotel Delfino

Hotel Delfino

8/10 Good

"Location was good, right by a bus stop and a 10 minute walk up and down to Franklin University. One staff member who was a male at front desk was very friendly everyone else was fair. They advertise self service laundry but it is not available which was very disappointing as that is one feature of why I choose this hotel. Breakfast was ok, it entailed scrambled or boiled eggs, breads, yogurt, and some fruit and cereals. Loved the fresh OJ. Facilities inside are warm with no A/C expect in your room. Amenities are lacking as there was only a small bar soap and a multipurpose shampoo, we almost fell a few times in the shower and there are no mats. Make sure to bring an umbrella as soon it rains often and this hotel did not have loaners. If you like a 70’s 80’s vibe you’ll like the decor. We will be making many trips to Lugano over the next 4 years, probably won’t stay here again."

8/10 Good

"The property has a very green theme which was good to experience, very modern and constructed with thought for the environment. All keys were electronic which meant you needed your phone and roaming though (a downside as only one of us had roaming) good because meant you didn’t have a key to lose. Room temperature would have been good to go a couple of degrees lower, given the heatwave, but overall we really liked the hotel. The staff we saw were very friendly. The location is excellent, right by both station and town. I really like the natural soap and shampoos as well and the opportunity to save on cleaning for a night if you so wish. Plus as a tourist you can get free bus and a venicular ticket (although a local told us that and we wouldn’t have known otherwise)."
