8/10 Very good

We stayed in room nr. 16. The view over the lake was beautiful. The air-con did not cool down the room enough (it should be looked at) during the heat wave so it was a bit too warm to sleep in the room. The breakfast was adorable on the terrace overlooking the lake.

Very nice building from 1885. Nicely decorated breakfast room. However the room and hotel in generally was really rough on the edges.. renovation clearly needed Also there is a club downstairs which can make you hear music if you have windows open. Walls are very thin and might hear your neighbors if they talk in their room Otherwise great location and friendly staff

Delightfully old-world belle-epoche hotel with lake-side view from our room, very good breakfast, well located close to Lake Lugano, public transport and in a quiet area of town. Very comfortable beds and good wi-fi.

Staff were not particularly welcoming or friendly. Reception did not offer the Ticino Card at check in. On arrival our room was not very clean and was not cleaned well during our 3 night stay. We did however like the location.

Was in a quiet part of the lake but still accessible to the main city and all the transport boats. Breakfast was great and so was the restaurant downstairs for dinner.
Verified review

6/10 Good

Older style hotel but it’s maintained well. Our main issue was the AC - hotel advertised as having AC but when we arrived (May travel) we were told that they do not turn the AC units on for use until June. It was an incredibly hot trip with a massive heat wave across the region, so it made being at the hotel almost unbearable both during the day and even when the sun was down for evening sleeping. Luckily, for our second and final night, we asked for a fan which they were able to provide. Thanks to the staff for being helpful with the fan! Heat aside, the hotel is in a great location just about a mile for walking to Lugano central also accessible by public bus (be sure to ask the hotel about the Ticino ticket)! Paradiso was a beautiful neighborhood to access the main areas without being fully immersed in them.

10/10 Exceptional

While this property is older it is lovely and functions without problem. The staff is friendly and inviting. Breakfast is delicious and the views of the lake are gorgeous. It is farther from the town center but is worth the 10 minute walk along the lake or the 1 minute bus trip. The AC was an added bonus! My only negative is that it smells heavily of cigarette smoke.

10/10 Exceptional

While the building was showing its age with its creaky, carpeted floors, dim lighting, and faded furniture, it was great in the places that mattered most to us. The beds were clean and comfortable, the bathroom was very, very spacious, the air conditioner worked consistently well throughout our stay, and it was very quiet throughout the night. Breakfast options were limited to cold options (other than the option to boil your eggs and toast your bread) but the coffee was freshly made to order and you could sit outside on their balcony to enjoy your meal if you wanted. Would stay again!

This guy s such a gem of a hotel! Love the old world charm & character, even though it’s a common complaint. It could use a bit of an update. The balcony was wonderful, as well as breakfast. The room was tiny compared to what advertised, also the A/C being turned off for good at this time year is a real head scratcher. Word of advice, we noticed the windows in the stairway were open, so we propped open the door to stairwell & kept the chain on the open door for air flow. I do agree on those weird foam pillows. Another tip, since it was still pretty warm in the room, we pulled the comforter out of the duvet, then put the folded up comforter in an extra pillow case & used it as a pillow. The duvet cover by itself was perfect. Would recommend this hotel for the hearty budget traveler. The view of the lake from the room is just epic.

Location is really great. 5 mins walk to Paradiso Train Station and Migros. Bus stop is next to hotel and 2 mins walk to Paradiso boat pier. Old hotel with bigger room. Beautiful lake view but not good facilities. The breakfast is good though. Overall, you got what you pay for.

This property has a long heritage. It was built in 1885. However, it’s pinnacle has past. It was a good place to lay our heads and the choice was a value level selection at a value level price. No regrets.

Staff were very nice. Location and view was beautiful. Property desperatly needs updating everywhere from the reception, restaurant and rooms. Very gaudy!! Time to let go of the past and move on or no one will be staying at your property. We will not be back.
