Příjemný hotel s dobrou polohou vzhledem k dopravě
Pros:

Hotel má výbornou polohu vzhledem k dopravě - během 5 minut jste na vlakovém nádraží, v přístavišti lodí, na autobusové zastávce nebo u lanovky na Orselinu. Do centra také asi 10 minut chůze, na Piazza Grande je nejbližší obchod s potravinami - Coop.
Personál hotelu milý, pokoj čistý, s prostorným balkonem, s ledničkou a fenem.
Letos jsme měly pokoj v 5. patře s výhledem na jezero a hory, ale daň za tento výhled byla rušná křižovatka u přístavu, takže nevhodné pro někoho s lehkým spánkem.
Hotel poskytuje svým hostům Ticino Ticket, na dopravu v kantonu a různé slevy na lanovky a vstupy, což je velká výhoda.

Cons:

Trochu měkčí matrace, než na jaké jsme zvyklé, ale nic zásadního.
Hluk s ulice z rušné křižovatky, ale zase pěkný výhled. Při zavřených oknech je to o něco lepší.
Poslední noc pobytu jsme bohužel chytly koncert v protějším parku (Pre Notte Bianca), který byl do půlnoci, a i když hráli pěkně, hlasitost byla strašná a zavřená okna nepomohla.
Na balkoně bychom uvítaly menší sušák na prádlo.
