The incline made carrying luggage to station challenging. ##### Donald Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 18 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Ok 3\. star hotel, close to city center Just ok, good location, nice service minded reseption, have bar-restaurant and out side area with chairs ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Ben 2 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Pretty good Hotel, but the room was really boring and old… not like the bathroom, because that was modern. ##### Ben Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### michael 5 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Most of the shops and restaurants are downhill so you’ll have a steep climb back to the hotel. Very close to everything and accommodations are very nice with complementary breakfast buffet. Would stay again. ##### michael Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### lyuba 23 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort We stayed at Federale Lugano for 2 nights. It is very close to the train station, and easy to get to by taking Funicular from the train station to Cathedral stop. Room wasn’t big but very comfortable and clean, bathroom was really small but it didn’t bother us. Best part was the staff - very nice and kind, always smiling. Breakfast was very good - juice, coffee, eggs, yogurt, fresh bread etc. We also had dinner at their restaurant and enjoyed the food and service. Will be willing to stay there again. ##### lyuba Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Winnie 17 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great location.

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 #### 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. Area around the hotel was very nice and alive at night, the lake is close by as well ##### Rohit Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 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 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kristan 13 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### great location Location and staff were great. 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 #### Anthony 4 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beat hotel location service and comfort ##### Anthony Stayed 1 night in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dawid 1 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great location and experience!

From our room (corner with a wrap-around balcony), we had the most stunning view imaginable of the city and lake below.
