Our stay was okay. It would have been better if staff were friendlier. Nobody informed me that we can register and use transportation for free since I paid for the city tax.
Overall a fairly decent hotel in Paradiso which is about a 20 minute walk away from central Lugano.
We were staying for 4 nights and didn't have food here so our review is predominantly focussed on the room and staff.
The room was large which was nice but we had a glass headboard which was very strange and was quite worrying sometimes.
Coffee machine provided in the room is a great touch but to only provide 2 (TWO) capsules per day is very limited. Give them credit, when I asked for more I received them but c'mon people, this is a coffee loving country, guests will want a coffee in the morning, then when they return later in the afternoon as a pick-me-up, minimum 4 per day please?
Would have checked out if the booking was refundable, worst room I booked in Italy !! For the price paid! Definitely need to maintain the rooms by all means. The only thing that was good the lobby well maintained.
Pros: Comfortable bed
Cons: Faulty Coffee machine flooded floor
Kettle with broken thermal cut off , unplugging from mains only option.
Television had no English Language channels other than CNBC financial news.
Plate glass 'curtains' trapped my finger between them and the ledge; still very sore 3 days later.
It would appear from one of the rooftop photos that you can see the lake. I didn't see it when I went on the rooftop.
