Reliable info:
Guests say the description and photos for this property are very accurate.

This family-owned hotel is centrally located just a short walk from Lugano town centre and its breathtaking lakeshore, and the famous Piazza Riforma with its many sidewalk cafés. Located in a quiet spot halfway up a hill, the hotel is just a short 3-minute walk from the train station, and provides quiet rooms in a green corner of the city. Many rooms have a balcony view of Monte Bré, or overlook the town. The hotel is the perfect choice for both leisure and business travellers. Its restaurant offers elegant simplicity, and the bar is ideal for a relaxing evening drink. The hotel also features limited meeting facilities.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.3 for a two-person trip.

    The triple room is great for families. We had space for all 4 of us (baby in crib). Enough space. Sufficient breakfast. Staff friendly. A little expensive for what we had - but in line with Swiss pricing.
