Very close to everything and accommodations are very nice with complementary breakfast buffet. Would stay again. ##### michael Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Phayungsak 21 Sept 2025 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities I love the idea of Hotel Federale. It is an old Lugano hotel with many of the original design features still in place. It is close to the old town, the train station, and to the lake, just a short walk away. The bathroom was tiny and the shower had mildew in some cracks and crevices. The bed was comfortable. There was air conditioning. Considerating all the other places we stayed this was okay but not the best ##### Phayungsak Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer 21 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff were very friendly. Our room including the bathroom was exceptionally clean. Disposable slippers and still and sparkling water were provided with a surprise. Though the room was a bit pricey, I would still highly recommend it to anyone who would like to stay with a walkable distance to Lugano Station. ##### Jennifer Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Winnie 17 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great location.

The walls are thin so it was pretty noisy because of the loud guests. Obviously the hotel can’t do much about that. The location and friendly staff made it a super pleasant stay. ##### Kristan Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rohit 21 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Really great and quaint hotel, valet for our car was nice and safe.

The rooms we had (we stayed twice) had lovely views of the lake. The only word of advice I can give is that getting there from the train station was kind of confusing. It's close to the train station but the one road we thought we could use was closed, so getting there was a bit of a challenge. ##### Veronica Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Spa Hotels in Bexleyheath](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bexleyheath-Hotels-Spa-Hotels.0-0-d182452-tSpaHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotel Splendide Royal](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lugano-Hotels-Hotel-Splendide-Royal.h24059.Hotel-Information) > > [5 Star Hotels in Cala Bona](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Cala-Bona-Hotels.s50-0-d6034397.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hyde Hotel (Formerly The Forster Court Hotel)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Galway-Hotels-Forster-Court-Hotel.h19115255.Hotel-Information) > > [Hôtel De Bastard](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lectoure-Hotels-Hotel-De-Bastard.h5020884.Hotel-Information) > > [Savoy Blackpool Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-Savoy-Blackpool-Hotel.h175627.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Tremadog](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tremadog-Hotels.d3000457368.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Kisumu](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kisumu-Hotels.d1824.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [The White Lion Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wisbech-Hotels-The-White-Lion-Hotel.h1381519.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge Dublin City Rathmines](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Travelodge-Dublin-City-Rathmines.h1217535.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Limpley Stoke Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bath-Hotels-Best-Western-Limpley-Stoke-Hotel.h448021.Hotel-Information) > > [Adults Only Resorts & Hotels in Riviera Maya](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Riviera-Maya-Hotels-Adults-Only-Resorts.0-0-d602901-tAdultsOnlyResorts.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Kinsale Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kinsale-Hotels-Kinsale-Hotel-Spa.h1720579.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Venice (VCE) to Konavle (DBV)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/vce/dbv/venice-to-dubrovnik) > > [Flights from Newcastle-upon-Tyne (NCL) to Cancun (CUN)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ncl/cun/newcastle-to-cancun) > > [Flights from Manchester (MAN) to Miami (MIA)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/man/mia/manchester-to-miami) > > [Flights from Baltimore (BWI) to Boston (BOS)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bwi/bos/baltimore-to-boston) > > [Flights from Ajnala (ATQ) to Jaipur District (JAI)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/atq/jai/sri-guru-ram-das-ji-intl-airport-to-jaipur) ### Cars > [Car hire in Brize Norton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-RAF-Brize-Norton.d6026848.Car-Hire-Guide) ### Packages > [Sandbanks Provincial Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sandbanks-Provincial-Park-Prince-Edward.d6292073.Attraction) > > [Emilia-Romagna Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Emilia-Romagna.d6048673.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Misano Adriatico Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Misano-Adriatico.d6048942.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Arlington Reservoir and Nature Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arlington-Reservoir-And-Nature-Reserve-Polegate.d553248621532508771.Attraction) ### General > [Visit Agen](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agen.dx307) > > [Visit Dily](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dily.dx6298461) > > [Visit Oulu](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oulu.dx2717) > > [Visit Da Lat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Da-Lat.dx1030) > > [Visit Redcliffe](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Redcliffe.dx6337278)
