Wonderful/amazing/breath-taking lake views.... Elegant and very spacious Suites and rooms...

The hotel is beautiful and comfortable. The view is just amazing from the balcony and also from the breakfast area. Even though the hotel seems to be a bit older, the furniture appeared to be new, and the beds and pillows were very comfortable. The staff were kind and helpful. We especially loved the breakfast - we will definitely come here again! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Hotel Federale, hotel in Lugano

This family-owned hotel is centrally located just a short walk from Lugano town centre and its breathtaking lakeshore, and the famous Piazza Riforma with its many sidewalk cafés.

Excellent location (just a short walk down the hill from the train station), wonderful staff, delicious breakfast! We enjoyed our stay very much! The beds were comfortable, there was plenty of food to chose from during breakfast and we received answers to all the questions we had. The hotel has its own history which we found very interesting to see in all the pictures that were up on the walls.

Colorado Hotel, hotel in Lugano

The Colorado Hotel offers a central location in Lugano, a 5-minute walk away from the promenade on Lake Lugano and around the corner from the LAC Cultural Centre.

Lugano is expensive and not overly endowed with hotels so it was a pleasure to find this welcoming and reasonably priced hotel, not too far from town centre. We booked room with balcony which was lovely, side view of lake as described and south-facing. Station is walkable on arrival as is downhill - you get a travel pass in the price and the bus was very useful to and from town and back to the station. Staff very friendly and amusing.

    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.

    Everything within walking distance or short bus/train/funicular away. Great beach, amazing scenery. Lots of great restaurants. So Many points of interest to see, we unfortunately didn’t have time to do it all, but we enjoyed taking the funicular to Monte Bre, boat excursion to Melide, train to Bellizone to see the castles… Guess we’ll need to come back to see the rest!

    I had an amazing room with a wonderful view over Lake Lugano. It could not have been more perfect. The hotel was very clean, the air-conditioning was perfect, on the very hot nights that I was there, but the room also had a lovely balcony with a nice cool breeze. The view was beyond superb. The front desk and breakfast staff were excellent, and the breakfast was one of the best I have ever had at a hotel, a wonderful variety to please every nationality of visitor. The hotel was wonderfully decorated. It was truly an excellent experience.

    We were surprised by how big the room was! We didn’t realize it was basically a 2 bdrm/ 2 bathroom place. It was huge! We also loved the view!! The view is what made us choose Hotel Colibri. The pool area was also really nice! It was a little too cold for our girls to take a dip but I’m sure it would’ve warmed up by the afternoon. The bus stop is right out front and the bus comes often! It was an easy 15 min. ride into Lugano. So worth it to stay up here for the view and it’s also nice and quiet in this area vs Lugano.

    The staff and the owner of the hotel are very helpful and they upgrade the room once they know that the Wifi is not good in our reserved room. The location in Paradiso is highly appreciated. The location is very close to the train station. It saves time and money to go to different important places like Monte San Salvatore, Swissmanutour, lake toures,.... The room was comfortable with a perfect balcony but the pillows has to be less soft. When I will go back to lugano I will reserve again a room in this hotel.

    The room was super clean, the bed was comfy, we had a great sleep. The staff is friendly and helpful. The hotel is conveniently located. The breakfast offer was quite rich (Just bear in mind that it is the Italian one, so mostly sweet things). We stayed for one night and after high season, though. I probably would look for a bigger room if I was about to stay in Lugano for longer holiday.
