Prima locatie voor een nachtje
Pros:

Prima hotel als je op doorreis bent. Prima gelegen en eenvoudig parkeren in de directe omgeving van het hotel. Kamers waren eenvoudig maar schoon. Er is wel wat verkeersrumoer van de nabijgelegen kruising, zelf hebben we dat niet als storend ervaren.

Cons:

Het is inmiddels wel wat gedateerd, maar daar is de prijs ook naar. Prima voor een nachtje👍🏻

Sehr freundliches und hilfsbereites Empfangs Team, mit super Aussicht, zentral, sauber.
Cons:

herzliche Atmosphäre beim Frühstücken. Einfach ein bisschen mehr Auswahl wäre toll gewesen. Für ein 2 Stern Hotel trotzdem super!

Très beau séjour. Je recommande cet hôtel pour la propreté et l’emplacement géographique.
Pros:

Très bel emplacement. Près de la gare, près du ferry et près de la Piazza Grande. Tout se faisait à pied. De plus en payant la taxe touristique, nous avons une passe qui nous donne accès aux transports en commun (train,bus et navette) gratuitement dans tout le Tessin ainsi que des rabais dans certains commerces et restaurants.
Très bon petit déjeuner et chambre très propre.
Personnel très agréable et chaleureux.

Cons:

La douche est très petite. Pour moi et mon conjoint c’était correct mais pour les grands gabarits ça peut sembler minuscule. Peut être bruyant à l’extérieur à l’occasion, mais nous voulions une chambre côté lac avec balcon et ensoleillée.
