Well situated hotel, real Lugano center. 2 steps form shopping zone and main square. Room was clean. I had no problem with the noise, but my room was not facing the funicular. Cofee maker in the room, a nice touch. That was positive. Now the other side of a medal. Really small room, usable only for sleep Wi-Fi for additional... More

The strength of the hotel is the location. It is at the base of the tram (to the train station) and can be a little noisy in the late evening and early morning, but it is not overwhelming.

Prices being higher in Switzerland than in Italy, I can say this hotel is good for its price even though breakfast and parking are not included. Good, comfy room with safe, separate bathroom with hairdryer, clean, good service.

booked this hotel by mistake ('not that one' turned into 'that one' over the phone, doh!), but even though the reviews are pretty bad, the hotel wasn't. Ok it has a cable car going right through it and you can hear it, but that didn't bother me at all and my friend used ear plugs, the walls in our room... More

I have just returned from a wonderful trip of Switzerland spoiled only by this hotel. The funicular runs right through the middle of the hotel - hence a lot of noise. Abrupt to the point of being rude hotel reception staff, dark and unattractive bedrooms, poor breakfast. Nothing to recommend it apart from a good location in the middle of... More

Hotels has cable car going through it so walls shake and it's loud. Rooms were dirty and staff was very uncourteous. Drinks at hotel were very expensive More
