Hotel&Hostel Montarina ★★

📍 Via Montarina 1, Lugano

"The room was spacious, the surrounding environment was nice, and it was very close to the train station. We checked in at 11:30 pm that night, and the owner was still waiting for us, which was very touching. The only downside was carrying our luggage up the stairs."

VISIONAPARTMENTS Lugano - self check-in
8.7 (50 reviews)

VISIONAPARTMENTS Lugano - self check-in ★★★

📍 Viale Carlo Cattaneo 17 A, Lugano

"Location: very convenient. There’s a bus stop less than 2 mins to and from train station. 2 buses to and from the apt. Bus goes to nearest Migros too. Convenience: Easy to self check in. Read review and procrastinated on booking this apt but was surprisingly easy and we just have to submit our passport copy for their processing. If you did not probably will have issue checking in. If we followed the instructions given no issues. Apartment: very clean, spacious and we slept like it’s our home. Kitchenette is very useful for us and also we love the washing machine and dryer facilities. Free of charge. You have to prep your washing powder. Will definitely stay here if I revisit. Highly recommended"

Hotel Ceresio
7.7 (11 reviews)

Hotel Ceresio ★★★

📍 Via Serafino Balestra 19, Lugano

"A functional, simple hotel with no atmosphere for an overnight stay. It is now showing its age and is out of date. For a 3* hotel, it should offer a bit more, but it is good value for money. The rooms are OK and the staff are friendly. Breakfast is very simple, with no great selection. Reception is not always open. We were allowed to check in early."

Novotel Lugano Paradiso
9.1 (82 reviews)

Novotel Lugano Paradiso ★★★★

📍 Viale S. Salvatore 11, Paradiso

"The hotel is very nice and in a very good location! Most importantly, it is clean!!!"

The View Lugano Hotels in Lugano

The View Lugano

"We spent three nights at The View Lugano at the end of our two-week Europe trip, and it was truly one of the most spectacular hotels I’ve ever stayed in—if not the most spectacular. The hotel is perfectly named: it sits high on a hill overlooking the stunning Lake Lugano, and the moment we stepped onto our balcony at sunset, the view literally brought my wife to tears. The town itself is charming, intimate, and beautifully quaint—much smaller and more peaceful than Lake Como, which we had also considered for this part of our trip. Choosing Lugano was absolutely the right call. Everything at The View Lugano was exceptional. Breakfast was outstanding, the on-site restaurant was fantastic, and the hotel offers a Michelin-starred tasting-menu experience that was unforgettable. Another amazing touch: guests can use complimentary electric cars and smart cars to explore the town. We used them multiple times for dinners and shopping trips, and it made getting around both fun and convenient. The entire property has an incredibly romantic atmosphere, making it the perfect way to end our travels across several countries. We left feeling relaxed, connected, and already dreaming of coming back. I cannot recommend The View Lugano highly enough."

San Carlo Suite Hotels in Lugano

San Carlo Suite

"On the day of the trip, my 4-year-old son had a fever of 39 degrees Celsius and was diagnosed by the pediatrician with scarlet fever, a contagious disease, meaning he cannot have contact with other people for at least 48 hours. Since the morning, I requested a cancellation without charge as an exception due to the situation, but the hotel didn't even respond to my messages. I called twice, and the first time the attendant said she couldn't help me and asked me to call back to speak to the manager. When I called, the attendant informed me that the manager did not accept my cancellation. I said I could send the pediatrician's certificate, but there was no flexibility. Not only do I have a sick child, but I also canceled a much-anticipated trip and still had to pay CHF 220. I found this lack of sensitivity and flexibility absurd (I offered to reschedule for another weekend). It shows me a lot about how the property is managed."

Colorado Hotel Hotels in Lugano

Colorado Hotel

"Very difficult to find as sat nav kept sending us down dead end roads, however once we did ,we arrived at the rear entrance which was shared by the local garage and bike hire s it was not immediately clear if we were in the right place. First impressions were of a very dated old fashioned hotel, with dusty old stair carpet and a cluttered reception area. We were promised a free travel card , but this was not forthcoming. Reception was rarely occupied (perhaps we were the only residents ??) so had little chance to chase this up. Room was spotlessly clean , but very small and hot. The air con did not seem to work. Shower was on a tap mixer which was bit like playing chicken with the varying temperature. However good location if you don't mind the short walk up the hill, staff were very helpful (when you saw one) Parking was available at a cost. For 2 nights it was OK, but doubt a family or longer stay is sustainable. Lugano itself felt very safe, but very expensive. Boat rips were good and the general location was spectacular with views over the lake and mountains."

ibis budget Lugano Paradiso ★★
"The room is good, a typical budget hotel, the staff is also friendly, I will stay here again next time. But the road there is all hilly, it is not very convenient to drag the luggage, it is a bit strenuous"

Acquarello Swiss Quality Hotel ★★★
"The hotel's location is very convenient. After arriving at the train station, take the cable car down one stop, turn right after exiting the station, and the hotel is right there. It's very convenient to get around, and the hotel provides a local transportation card. The breakfast is quite plentiful, and you can even make your own orange juice. Because the cable car station is right outside, it can be a bit noisy, but it gets quiet in the evening when the cable car stops operating. The hotel provides earplugs."

"A very good experience. The staff were very attentive and went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. The rooms were fine, clean, and perfectly adequate. And as for the city, we were very comfortable; with public transport (free thanks to the Ticino Ticket) we easily reached all our points of interest."

Novotel Lugano Paradiso ★★★★
"The room was spacious, well-equipped, and very modern. The minibar was free! The room was clean and comfortable, the bed was incredibly comfortable, and the food in the lobby was excellent, with generous portions! The outdoor pool and ping-pong table were perfect for the kids. The hotel is also conveniently located, with a bus directly to the train station, making taxis even easier!"
