Good stay for your money in Lugano
Pros:

Good place for the price you pay. For Swiss/Lugano standards the Colorado Hotel is rather cheap.
Service was nice, facilities alright. The building is a bit older, but rooms etc are alright.
A/C, fridge, tv etc. was working fine.

Cons:

Breakfast was rather oldschool. Basic selection of spreads. Bread selection limited, it was refilled, but when it was busy sometimes a bit slow to refill.

very comfortable
Pros:

The location is excellent for visitors travelling by train. A 10-minute walk from the station.
Or there is a bus stop outside the hotel.
Hospitality is excellent.
I was allowed to check in earlier as my room was ready.
Restaurant is good.
The breakfast is satisfactory, served in the breakfast room or on a lovely terrace.

Cons:

I was very pleased and pleasantly surprised. I shall definitely stay here again.

Nice Stay in Lugano
Pros:

Getting a single room is a bonus, as solo travellers often have to book a double room and therefore pay for an invisible guest, which is unfair. The room was small but had everything I needed, a safe, minibar, aircon, tv and a mini kettle. Be aware that the rooms are type J plug sockets which is not the same as other European countries. I had dinner one night in the restaurant and it was very good. The walk to the town centre is 10-15 mins but the bus stops nearby and I received the Ticino Ticket which meant public transport was free within Ticino.

Cons:

The room window was left open after cleaning. I'd rather it remained closed, not for security reasons, as I was on a high floor, but because a mosquito then got into my room and I got bitten.

Gerne wieder, preiswert, sauber, schnell zu Fuss am See und in der Altstadt.
Pros:

Preis/Leistung absolut okay, es ist sauber und hat alles, was man braucht. Geräumiger Balkon mit bequemen Stühlen.

Cons:

Der Wasserdruck in der Dusche ist zu gering, Es sollte eine Lüftung in Badezimmern ohne Fenster haben.

The hotel is located near the train station and a bus stop is right outside its doors. So getting around Lugano was easy

Recensione da esperienza personale
Pros:

Praticamente il nulla, inoltre il bagno era molto stretto.

Cons:

Dalla camera allo staff, mi sono sentito truffato. Mai più, se ho la possibilità non consiglio a nessuno questo Hotel ed esperienza. Nonostante il rientro anticipato per via di un emergenza, lo staff si rifiuta del tutto per il rimborso delle notti inutilizzate...
