"At 65 and 67 yrs , we found the climb up to room 8 with luggage difficult. Consider that when booking. Bed was rather uncomfortable, and I believe we were instructed to leave the room as we found - ie-dishes clean but there was no dish tray or towel to dry. Best as a spot for younger people. It’s an easy walk from the train station but a heck of an uphill walk back. Most important. Clean and quiet . Tks"

There is a garage space included, but it is for a very compact car, so plan accordingly. Overall, the apartment got the job done. Amazing? No. Good enough, yes. We weren't in...

Top Lugano Hotel Reviews

Lugano Center GuestHouse

10/10 Excellent

"The guesthouse is a beautiful old building and the staff person was kind and helpful. A guaranteed parking spot was $30. Street parking was sparce but also highly time constricted. The only funny thing is that the rooms are sparcly accessorize (lights, tables) by the cheapest light plastic furniture which kept tipping over. Otherwise the location is convenient."

"We had a beautiful room with a balcony overlooking the lake — what a treat for us! Our room was comfortable and freshened up daily. Breakfast, local transportation and dining options were terrific.
