Ein sehr sauberes und gemütliches Hotel mit tollem Komfort und genialem Pool. Wenn das Management das Gebäude und die Ba
Pros:

Die Poolanlage: Absolut sensationell schön! Die Aussicht von dort oben ist ein echtes Highlight und lädt total zum Entspannen ein.Der Fitnessraum: Super eingerichtet, modern und top ausgestattet. Hier fehlt es an nichts für ein gutes Workout.Der Schlafkomfort: Das Bett war super bequem, wir haben richtig gut geschlafen.

Cons:

Von aussen ist das Hotel leider überhaupt nicht mehr ansehnlich. Das zieht sich bis zum Balkon durch: Die Aussicht vom Balkon ist zwar ein Traum, aber er selbst ist einfach total alt und nicht mehr schön. Hier müsste dringend frisch saniert werden.

Deservedly well-known property worth the splurge
Pros:

Resort property with pools and views! Great for relaxing and enjoying the beauty of Lugano. We had a rooftop suite with 360 degrees! Clean facilities and an uncrowded pool.

Cons:

The staff was unfailingly nice but we did experience a misunderstanding and missed opportunity regarding the free Ticino transportation tickets. The process requires guests to fill out a link, which we asked for at check-in but was told to ask again in the morning. Due to us being in the mountains, the link didn’t transmit (bad cell service) and we did not receive the final passes in time to use them. C’est la vie.

Great location and good price for the stay. Beautiful pool and views.
Pros:

The property was really close to train station , just a hill walk so when it was hot it was very hard. Going into town was downhill all the way which was great, only around 20 minute walk. The property itself was nice. The rooms were really big and the only AC was in the living room which was across the whole room. The pool was amazing though ! Wasn’t over crowded when we were there , perfect temperature for when it’s hot , great sun beds and you could get perfect tan with amazing views.

Cons:

I would love some AC in the bedroom as it got really hot. There are many rooms and some places are a good walk away from reception.
