We stayed at this hotel for one night on our journey from Lake Como to Zurich. Website information is little misleading that this location is walkable to Lugano train station. But its 1.5 km from station, but there is bus stop opposite to the hotel. This looked like apartment coverted to hotel. very basic ameneties. Hotel staff was good and provided details for late check in, but did not give correct details about bus in the morning to go to train station. One couple helped us in the morning with bus details and we were able to reach station on time to catch 6:35 am train. It is very hard to find cab in this area. Bus is preferable, so please make sure you have enough details about bus schedules. I would not recommend this hotel until you have very short stay to catch an early train.

A/C doesn’t work. Staff extremely unhelpful and rude when asking about a/c conditions in rooms. Rooms are ok but staff and lack of a/c simply not up to par.
Stayed 1 night in Jul 2022
Response from The Manager on 26 July 2022
You were here during the hottest days of the year, a/c worked but maybe not as you expected, like all Americans that want ice in the room. Well, consider that we are in Europe and things are a little bit different here. Next time we suggest you to book not only looking at the price as you did, maybe a 4-5 star hotel is better for you (at a higher price, of course). For the price that you paid here your review is simply ridiculous. regards.

Location is great. Very close to the lake and the train station. The AC barely works and when asked the staff for help, since it was 9:28 p.m. and they leave at 9:30 p.m., the guy had attitude. Lugano gets really hot in the summer, a proper AC is needed.

Basic. One step above a hostel
Staff were very friendly and helpful but that’s the only nice thing to say. Parking was very far from the hotel and not easy to find. A long walk after a long day. The AC in the room did not work well so the room was very warm. The shower head fell down multiply when using it and the shower leaked onto the bathroom floor. Several lights in the room did not work and only 1 outlet was working to plug anything into.

Friendly staff - Overall to expensive
We stayed in Lugano for a wekeend and found the Guest House on hotels.com. Although the hotel cliamed to have free parking, we were then informed that free parking is blue zone opposite the accommodation and parking on premises is at extra cost. The guy at the reception was very friendly and allowed for an early check-in, handed out a map of Lugano and helped with any other questions. The room itself included a very tiny bed which was rather uncomfortable, a kitchen with no equipment but a kettle including stains and two paper cups. The room was decently clean but the towels still included the last tenants make-up stains so was unfortunately very unpleasant. Overall it is a good alternative for a quick stay in Lugano. However, for that price it might make sense to add a little budget and actually take an actual hotel room.

ittle more than a bad hostel - do not do laundry!
Little more than a hostel - do not use the laundry as our clothes were in the drier for 3 hours and still not dry - husbands had to wear wet jeans. Service rubbish, accommodation cheap but not a cheap price. Icing on the cake this morning the lift is out of action. I would not recommend staying here
Stayed 1 night in Aug 2020
Response from Vadim - Reception on 9 Aug 2020
Dear Gillian, dear Paul, leaving such a bad review only because you couldn't dry clothes as you wanted is incredible, yesterday you seemed very happy and satisfied all day... We remind you that laundry/drying services are free services that can be used upon availability and in certain times, we cannot remove the clothes of people using the dry machine before you because you need it, and machines cannot work after closing times, this is for security...!! However, on the reverse we were helpful and we removed the housekeeping stuff (that we need to work in the GuestHouse) to let you use the dry machine earlier: you smiled and thanked us a lot and you were very satisfied because you found a good service. So we find that this behavior doesn't fit with your review. About the lift, we are sorry but it can happen, and there is a phone number always available in case of emergency. Kind regards.

Horrible stay. Suddenly extra charges appear for cuttlery and kitchen utensils... becuase they have to disinfect the utensils, menawhile they still were dirty and i had to buy cleaning utensils anddo it by myself. Very dirty room without tv and a horrible bed! The balcony is used by all people on the same floor and the windows are defective. The ac is blowing hot air....

thanks matthias piech for your great review -- it was not enough for you to spent a lot of time on google reviews or maybe you didn't like my reply. but it's ok in this way because you show how you are after staying with us same days without telling nothing and always smiling :-):-):-) 536/5000 luckily we have many customers who appreciate our structure and our hospitality and you can see it from the comments and the average score. next time book a 5 * hotel in lugano, if you can afford it since the cost is obviously totally different from ours, maybe you will find something more suitable for your needs. P.S. the photos next time maybe do them at the entrance to the room and the delivery of the material and not after several days in which you stayed without cleaning anything ;-) ;-) with love
