Top Lugano City-Centre Hotel Reviews

Hotel Como

10/10 Excellent

"I had a great stay on a solo weekend trip here. The room was super clean and comfortable, staff was friendly and helpful, breakfast was great and the rooftop pool and bar was perfect! It’s about a 20 minute, easy walk to the lake (I walk fast - might be a little more) and city center - which I found to be just right."

Hilton Lake Como

10/10 Excellent

"My whole family is very judgmental when it comes to hotels, its location, cleanness, and service. I can comfortably state that this hotel exceeded our expectations. Location was at a perfect spot. It was almost on the lake with great views and 10 min walk to the town centers. We loved the rooftop restaurant for its fun ambiance, food quality and service. Book without hesitation! Thank you"

Kurhaus Cademario Hotel & SPA

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing experience with spa , incredible views and good breakfast. We received a bottle of local red wine as a VIP Expedia gift but free upgrades to room with a view on the lake was not available to us . The waiting staff were very friendly and the piano music in the evening felt very special . If the hotel provided coffee maker in the room it would make it even better."

Grand Hotel Menaggio

10/10 Excellent

"This is a true gem! Right on the lake with a lovely pool. The setting is fantastic. We loved the old fashioned touches such as turn down service in the evening with towels refreshed at night as well as in the morning. The hotel has been recently refurbished so the bedrooms are well thought out and nicely appointed without being too formal. We had a room overlooking the lake and loved waking up to the sun streaming in through the windows before heading down to a gorgeous breakfast. It has to be said that the food is amazing! The added bonus is that the ferry is just along the road which makes it really easy to hop over to other towns for the day, although the little town of Menaggio is charming and nowhere near as crowded as Bellagio. We will definitely be going back to this great hotel."
