    Take the cable cart to the top of the hill - St.

    Take the cable cart to the top of the hill - St. Salvatore and if you have good weather - there awaits you and this is not an exaggeration by any means - one of the most amazing views I have ever seen in my life. Also we took a boat ride along the lake, which without any discount is about 40CHF for 2 hours ride, which is also very nice. There is a half tax discount if you have it for Switzerland. Miniature museum is nice as well. Lugano over all I think will stay in my heart :)

    2 nights would have been sufficient for us. We took a day trip to Bellinzona and visited most of the popular attractions and had time to spare. We are not shoppers or people who like to hang out next to a pool and relax. If you are that type of person, the lake is beautiful and the shopping options are abundant.

    Lugano is an exceptional peaceful small city where you can enjoy the best views of the lake. Much better place to be compared to Como the busy crowded city. We totally loved this city and all the things that offers from good food and pleasant historic buildings as well as friendly people.

    This little hotel, which I booked at the last minute with few expectations, turned out to be great. The rooms are actually bigger than they look in the photos, and they were clean and well appointed. The staff was kind and helpful. The location is great, just a 15 minute walk to the centre of town, or an extremely short bus ride. (Staying at the hotel comes with a free bus pass, and the bus stop is just 200 m away. Buses run frequently and on time – this is Switzerland after all.) Breakfast was good, too.

    Check in was easy. Breakfast was delicious. The people who work here act like they really enjoy their work. The hotel is right on the lake -stunning views from our room. The room is very comfortable . Very close to shopping, lake cruise, train station. There is a sitting room, with coffee or tea available to be made. A printer is also available. It is very nice to have the Ticino Card (available on request) for free travel on ticino trains ( to Bellinzona, Locarno) and the funiculare to the train station.

    All the staff were friendly and helpful, from breakfast staff to house keeping, especially the gentleman at reception who gave us recommendations about visiting Morcote. Location was great, arrived by train to Paradiso which is a 5 min walk to the hotel. Its also a short walk to the lake, where we were at one end and could walk lakeside to Lugano to the other side. Also conveniently located next to the funicular to the top of the mountain for 360 panoramic views.

    Quiet location above Lugano, large rooms with proper AC. Staff pleasant and helpful. Large outside pool was appreciated by all. Breakfast buffet was reasonable, but low fat/low sugar options were few. Restaurant in the evening offers buffet or pizza. Neither were great, but the local restaurant about 9 min walk away called Balmelli was superb (fab food prepared by 2 Italian Chefs, lovely service and reasonably priced within Switzerland for the standards).

Breakfast was excellent, and the position of the hotel is perhaps the best in Lugano, the view from the room and the breakfast area is wonderful. I hope the family will continue to maintain this historic and delightful hotel.
