Well placed in the heart of town and close to the Taylor river walkways. Beautifully clean, comfortable bed and lovely soft towels. Only grizzle is that there was no recycling bin in the room so I took my recyclables home with me. No single use products in the bathroom or kitchenette though. Very friendly and helpful staff

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Staff were excellent on arrival and during our extended stay (was a 4 night trip, extended another 2 nights + another 4 nights). Staff blocked out dates for us as we had a sick family member & then a funeral to attend. They went out of their way to make our time at Lugano memorable. Wifi was a little difficult sometimes, but a reset sorted this issue. Bed comfortable, a little noise from road, clock tower but an excellent stay.

Can't beat the location, walking distance to everything in town. Room was large, kitchen well appointed, could have used a bigger more comfortable couch given the room slept 6 but the couch only had room for 3 but everything was clean and the staff were lovely.

Great friendly service. Beware they have an electric blanket underneath the bedding in case you have adverse reactions to it like me. They are happy to remove it if requested.
