Hotels near Lugano airport

Pros: The hotel is in a great location at walking distance to restaurants and the lake. Breakfast was abundant with many choices and great coffee. Friendly hosts with a genuine care to their guests. Very helpful staff.

I would really suggest the Luganodante Hotel. The experience was great. The hotel is really cozy and really modern, everybody incredibly gentle and friendly! It is located in the center of the town, 5 minutes from the train and 5 from the lake. A great experience!

Pros: staff was very attentive. great location.

Pros: The hotel staff is very friendly, polite and professional. The hotel is super clean and beautifully furnished. The breakfast buffet was really various and delicious.

Pros: The location is very good .the staff are nice

Cons: The room size is small.we were 2 adults and one child so it was small for us.

Pros: perfect breakfast very good location and park for my auto

Cons: noting

In the heart of the old city of Lugano , beautiful shops and cafes are around. It is totally renovated so everything is brand new and so clean. Very good breakfast. There is a parking at extra charge. Very comfortable. Highly recommended !

Very nice staff, hotel as well. The room was pretty small , however other facilities were outstanding. I would sure consider to stay at this property on my next visit to Lugano.

Pain in the but to find but if they have the room ready in time by 3pm its a great hotel

A 5-star hotel with small to indicate why it would be 4 instead of 5-stars. It is superbly found within the heart of the pedestrian middle of Lugano, helpfully at the foot of the funicular up to the railroad station, and two minutes’ walk from the lake. The rooms are comfortable and well-provided(though dodge one as well adjoining to the funicular, with tea and coffee making, bottled water, complimentary delicate drinks within the mini-bar, and robe and shoes etc. Service is accommodating and respectful. Breakfast is great, a well displayed and broad buffet (with new natural product juice in spite of the fact that, strangely, no bacon). If I ever stay in Lugano again, I will definitely stay here!

I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel the room was perfectly adequate for what we needed. The staff at check-in and check-out was extremely friendly and accommodating. The breakfast was very good quality and overall the hotel great value for money. We decided to only stay at this hotel whenever we visit this city the places around. Nothing to dislike at all! Everything was as you would expect.

We stayed here for three nights.our family room was nice and large. New and very comfortable. The location is excellent opposite the furnicular. But it had the little touches that made the property excellent.free mini bar, coffee in the lobby, Welcome drink at the bar..being offered a bottle of water and chocolates during check out.the staff was very friendly. But the best part was the truly excellent breakfast loved the hot chocolate the best we had in our 15 day trip of Europe. Truly a memorable visit hope we return. Very nice hotel in great position in Lugano city center, near Railway Station. Supportive Staff, dogs allowed, private parking available. Excellent breakfast. First choice in Lugano when the price is ok for the pocket.

Last weekend my husband and I took a weekend trip away from the cold and fog filled area of central Switzerland and - by chance - chose this location. We found more than just the sunshine outside our hotel. We found Dante. I am already yearning to go back there! Besides the wonderfully central location - it included friendly staff all over the grounds, not just at check in but in the breakfast room, elevator, parking service. We were given room 306 which had recently been renovated - and oh my! what a great room that was. The bed and the bedding were simply wonderful! Slept like a king and queen. Complimentary soft drinks in minibar. Welcoming and comfortable lobby area with refreshments on hand. The breakfast buffet had everything we could wish for and more; even an up to make your own fresh squeezed carrot or orange juice! I don't think I have ever been so amazed at the value for money as we were here. Can't wait to go again!

Excellent location next to the railway station just take the funicular down and you are next to the hotel door. Very friendly staff and nice breakfast. The city itself is very picturesque and easily accessible on foot. Rooms are small but calm and clean. This is a great hotel, with a great location. Top class service all the way through, from reception to depart. Nice rooms, great breakfast and very friendly staff. This is where to stay, when in Lugano.

Stylish, beautiful hotel with an amazing Restaurant La Veranda

Big and stately hotel directly by the lake. Excellent concierge and check-in - seemed understaffed through - it was really difficult to reach anyone from room service, spa or housekeeping and no one ever called back. We absolutely loved the fantastic à la carte breakfast.

Pros: Great place, nice location.

Cons: ---

Pros: stunning !

Cons: nothing

Pros: Perfect for relax The view on the lake is superb Dinner was excellent Staff excellent Room excellent

Pros: The breakfast was very good, with a wide variety of foods and beverages.

Pros: Superb location overlooking the town and the lake. The service is impeccable and the meals, including breakfast are unsurpassed. The size of all rooms are exceptionally large and the balcony suites overlooking the lake are worth the extra cost

Cons: Nothing!

Pros: Very friendly staff. The gourmet restaurant is not cheap, but the food is good and the wine list exquisite. We liked the bar with life music and of course the terrace overlooking the lake was amazing.

Cons: Out room didn’t have the best view

Pros: The hotel is lovely. Our room was extremely comfortable with an extroiderary view. The restaurant is special. The concierge made our stay even more special. Her recommendations and arrangements made were perfect.

Cons: The hotel is a ride to town and every ride just to get to town is 20-25 dollars each way. I wished the hotel shuttle ran more often. Some days we spent $100.00 just on taxis.

Pros: Great location. Friendly staff. Beautiful building. Helpful parking. Good breakfast.

Cons: I have stayed here many times and really like it. But I would agree with one reviewer who said that a hotel of this quality should have nice toiletries in the bathrooms, not sad foam that you have to pump out of a cheap dispenser in the shower. Feels very cheap It would also be nice to have drinks and snacks in the minibar. It's an empty fridge.

Pros: location friendly staff

Pros: Everything!!!

Cons: The climbing to the train station... very short but nasty

Cons: Breakfast had only basic things, parking is charged

Pros: It has style. Grand Hotel feeling.

Cons: /

Pros: our stay was great; the staff were all really friendly and accommodating our room was very spacious and had everything we needed, including a nice view. The location is great, just a few steps from the station and from the city center.

This is a hotel with history. It has been in the family since the beginning of the 20th century. A bit old fashioned in the good sense of the word. We had a nice room and with a little effort we could see the lake from our window. Conveniently located between the railway station and the old town. The dining room takes you back a century ago. You can Imagine yourself sitting here in 1918. The high points for this hotel are it's proximity to the train station, spacious rooms, extremely friendly and accommodating staff and breathtaking views. The hotel offers a breakfast buffet which was adequate and the dinners were very good. My favorite was the homemade pasta. The hotel has free WiFi and gives you a pass which allows you to take public transportation for free! A definite bonus!

Pros: Location location location! - tucked away right below the train station and steps away for all the restaurants and shops. Very close to the water too. Hotel staff was helpful they had underground parking for a fee but once your there you get free.public transportation passes from the hotel so that more then paid for re parking. And the room- which was a top floor family room Had airconditioning- a luxury for sure in Europe.

Cons: Was hard to get to by car but in the end that's a plus as there isn't a lot of street traffic so it's more quiet.

Pros: The location is perfect — it is in the middle of everything. We loved the room we stayed in — it has a very nice view, spacious and the toilets are clean and modern. To top it all, the staff were very friendly and accommodating. Special mention to Jeselyn who was very helpful. We will definitely recommend this hotel. And we are definitely going back.

Cons: The squeaky floors; but they are livable. The breakfast can also be improved.

Pros: Friendly staff

Pros: Good location friendly staff very nice view from roof

Pros: Location was exceptional. We had a beautiful view of the lake and mountains, yet the room was very quiet. Everything was within very short walking distance including buses, train and boats. Receiving a transportation pass as part of the small local tourist tax made everything effortless. Each member of staff was exceptionally helpful, cheerful and polite and offered suggestions for restaurants and outings that always proved good. Breakfast was good and in a room overlooking the lake and mountains. The roof terrace offered more views. We did not take advantage of the hot tub, but it looked inviting. I would definitely be happy to return and to recommend it to others.

Pros: Excellent location with a great view; very friendly and helpful personnel; nice breakfast; the room (single) though being small is nicely arranged, with sufficient space. Definitely, will stay there again.

Cons: Music from the party boat (central station) and the restaurant nearby was quite loud, but it stopped exactly at 23:00. So, if one does not intend to sleep early - fine. Traffic on the lakeside road is also a bit loud in a morning, but - so what? get up early and discover the wonderful surroundings!

Pros: Ideal location for walking to the town center, access to train station, lakefront parks, and to Monte Bre. Very clean, amazing view out of the front balcony, good breakfast, elevator was quick, was able to leave my luggage after check-out until train departure.

Cons: Jaccuzzi was disappointing - old, lukewarm water, not clean. The rooftop area needs an overhaul - perfect spot with great view but not appointed for enjoyment and relaxation.

Pros: Great location. Friendly staff.

Cons: The room was small and very old fashioned

Pros: location. balcony

Cons: breakfast some toilet is old floor makes noise when we walk on it specially at night

Pros: Loved the fact that it was an old, spacious hotel with a lounge, bar and pool area. The location is also great, couldn't ask for better. Staff were extremely helpful and friendly and breakfast very good.

Cons: Not much that I didn't like. Single beds were a bit uncomfortable due to wooden base. It seems like some rooms just need a bit of freshening up.

Pros: Location very central, room spacious and silent and very clean with lake view

Cons: some part of the building were more outdated (entrance, corridors.......)

Just Too!

Pros: The Staff was really great The location is perfect

Cons: In our room, there was a noise coming from the AC, even when I turned it off the noise stays

Cons: The property is beautiful, however we had a room that is on the inside courtyard and it’s way too noisy in the mornings and evenings

Pros: Although some aspects of the hotel were a bi quirky, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The staff went out of their way to see to all our needs. I found the beds to be outstanding.

Cons: I wish the hotel was able to work out some way to assist older or handicapped customers with getting one’s luggage to and from the hotel.

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Staff wasn’t organized at all. Delayed check in by a few hours. We ended up getting a room that had red fixtures and interiors (nothing like the pictures on the website). Elevator through busy restaurant. Staff wasn’t available past 5pm. And above all, it was priced as a premium hotel. All round - would not recommend.

Cons: Super Location, super hotel, super Personal

Pros: The hotel is well located and very clean. Conveniently located near everything. Super convenient to the train station. The rooms are compact but adequate. Bed was comfortable.

Cons: The front desk staff was awesome. The staff at the restaurant were good but not as pleasant and

Very stylish renewed old historic building, best location for walking tour in city center, excellent staff and service.

Pros: nice location near train station. private and quiet. pleasant staff.

Pros: The location is perfect since it’s just behind the train station! The person working at the reception is kind and patiently shares information on the city.

Cons: The bathroom was quite small

Pros: the hotel location is perfect, very close to the train station staff was very friendly home atmosphere

Cons: some fruit or vegetables for brekfast would be a good idea as well as tea/coffee making facilities in the room

Pros: We loved staying for 3 nights here. It was very good located, clean, comfortable and the staff very nice and helpful! We will sure come back to Hotel Stella.

Cons: The ONLY thing we missed is that the pool is very cold and not so welcoming, so we didn't adventure to enter.

Pros: It's near at the train station. Easy to go to town. You can just walk or take the bus that just near at the hotel. The staff is really nice and friendly. We will definitely stay again to this hotel.

Pros: Very close to the train station

Cons: For that price you would expect more for breakfast

We stayed for 2 nights. Charming. The staff couldn’t have been more lovely. They didn’t have parking yet helped me park my car in a space next door and brought me coffee both mornings. Very bright and clean. Lovely little hotel. Very low price given the area.

Just next to the station. They provides cable tickets really useful. Breakfast is nice. The host is very friendly and always smile.

Pros: Ester and Hermina made breakfast a great start of the day! Daniel Hahne, the Proprietor, made everything work right. From restaurant to tour recommendations were excellent. He became a trusted friend during the stay. A great location.

Cons: The ONLY drawback was the lack of an elevator. This made it a challenge for an older couple with heavy bags. Daniel makes every effort to assign rooms according to the challenge.

The triple room was clean and tidy. The hotel staff was helpful and gave us a travel card for free local transportation. The hotel is on a slope. But if you follow the reminder email from hotel to leave from platform 4 of Lugano station, then just a short slope (~100m) will bring you to the hotel. There is no lift in the hotel. We were travelling with heavy luggage and the hotel kindly arranged a room on lower floor for us. We really appreciate their help.

I chose this hotel for the location, which proved to be a good priority. The staff has been more than helpful, especially Hermina. The rooms are small but beds and duvets are comfortable and clean. We skipped the $19pp simple breakfast and are at the train station instead. You pay for the location and service here, not any luxury. Location was great. Just 5 minute walk from the train station but we took the Long walk from the opposite platform. Did not note that you can get out directly from Platform 4. Room was very small. Pillows were very soft so we asked for more pillows after 2 nights. Garden and pool were also very small but owner gave me some rosemary and verveine twigs. Now I love the smell of verveine. Took the free funicular down to the town centre next to the Lake Lugano. Also took a free bus ride back after wondering off somewhere and was too tired to walk back.

Pros: The location and happy hour were both great! Staff were helpful. The private room we stayed in was decent for a night.

Pros: Noce personel.Vlosed to train(4 minute)but room was not awans closed.Good was security box .Was small kitchen room when you can eat.

Cons: Not every body closed room room- you can go out to outside.every bady can take you private thinks.

Pros: Friendly and helpfull staff, beautiful surroundings. Common kitchen area was small, but clean and effective to cook small, simple meals

Cons: Wifi could be a lot better. Sometimes busy in common areas but it’s manageable. Dorm was cosy and room was beautiful, but a house in stone creates some echoing sounds, maybe this could be managed with curtains around the beds?

Pros: Location is perfect, nice garden and swimming pool area, comfy beds, clean.

Cons: Didnt like to sleep with 6 other people in the room, not enough bathrooms for so many people.

Pros: The location is perfect if you travel by train. If you travel by car there is a nice parkinglot. Exelebt for young travelers.

Cons: Noise rooms. No elevator.

The location is very convenient, near to the train station. The room is clean. They provided a free public transportation ticket and there is a free swimming pool!

I just needed to remain in Lugano for one night sometime recently assembly family in Italy the following day, so comfort and moo took a toll were my needs. I was wonderfully astounded by the Montarina. It is certainly over normal for a lodging. It is unimaginably near to the prepare station in an ancient charming but well kept up building. The gardens are truly lovely and it is phenomenal to be able to utilize the pool zone of the connecting sister property, The Mainland. The choice for the buffet breakfast at the Mainland is truly decent, as well, in a dazzling feasting room. The inn is perfect particularly the washrooms. I was not bothered by the trains and the other visitors were all exceptionally calm and chivalrous when I was there but in the event that you're stressed around clamor at that point, fair bring earplugs. All in all incredible esteem. I'd certainly remain again.

Pros: nice atmosphere

Cons: room too hot and road noise when window ooen

Pros: Location was within walking distance to the lake and promenade and attentively provide breakfast gave the establishment an ‘upscale’ air. Fine accommodation enhanced by spectacular surroundings.

Pros: Personnel: Professional, very helpful, kind. Clean, well organized. Thanks!

Cons: When arriving, we showed a print of our Corona sertificate. That was not accepted and we would not be allowed to eat breakfast in the restaurant. (We downloaded the certificate on our mobiles and that was accepted.) What we did not like was how we was explained this. That the paper sertificate was accepted at a hotel in Hamburg was of no interest to the person in the reception. We felt almost like criminal in the way we was greeted. The rest of the stay was ok - but since the hotel was pricy, we were over all dissapointed. We will never go back to this hotel.

Cons: Poor quality breakfast , far from main town and restaurants and confusing sale mentioning a lake view ( it is quite hidden behind a few buildings )

We stayed for two nights, got a room upgrade without even requesting. Great view from the balcony but personally not enough decoration in the Rooms and a bit Oldstyle. Staff was very friendly and breakfast was delicious. Would definitely stay again and recommend to family and friends!

Pros: The room was huge and very clean, breakfast was good selection. We also ate at the hotel restaurants twice and it was nice. Room service was timely and food was hot. Staff was very friendly and professional. We arrived by car and could park at the hotel easily as it has a huge parking lot. It was raining for most of our stay , so we could take full advantage of the spa and indoor pool.

Pros: Staff were fantastic, very friendly and helpful. Room was very spacious with a great view. Breakfast great too. Location was very good, just a few minutes by bus to the station, and 10 minutes to the center.

Pros: Big rooms, free upgrade, quiet, very clean, good breakfast, free transport to railway, 10’ walk to center

Cons: Building is dated and complicated to navigate through, Spa was good but no expected more, Massage was good but very expensive

Pros: Great location.

Cons: It feels like the hotel owners are squeezing out the maximum profit without substantially investing anymore. Furniture and other installations in the room were lose or not functioning. The bed was extremely hard. I got serious back problems after two days. Also the maintenance in the Hotel (outside the room) seem to be kept on a minimum level, ie cleaning but no fundamental building maintenance. This will lead to an overall downturn of the Villa Sassa soon.

Pros: The properly was very clean and comfortable with an amazing view. Staff is very friendly. Wellness is really great. Strongly recommended.

Cons: If you travel with the dog, please note that the nearest park is 15 min away and is quite steep. The street from one side of the building is loud at night, that is not a problem if to close all windows.

Pros: The facilities, location and helpful staff.

excellent

Very quiet, top restaurant, very good breakfast, huge fitness room, all you need

First time staying at Villa Sassa in Lugano and what a wonderful experience it was too. From the moment your walked into Reception you felt welcomed. Checkin was very easy and there was a very friendly porter to help you with luggage. The room was fantastic with awesome views. It was also well maintained daily. The Restaurant did a great Breakfast. However the highlight was the awesome dinner. Fantastic tastes and originality. This is a lovely property with a great view of the city , the hotel was generous to upgrade us to suite and it was just perfect, the breakfast is excellent and people who work here where very obliging. Overall a great place to stay and surely will stay if I ever visit Lugano again .

Pros: the breakfast was good and the location as well.

Cons: First day I needed hot water for my baby and the staff at front desk helped me since there is no water boiler at the room. However the day after, different staff came and when we asked them to give me some hot water they refused to help and said we can not!! this was very annoying such a hotel can not provide hot water!!! and the behaviour of the staff was also annoying since they did not care where the machine is 3 meters from them located at the bar. Also, there was Insect on the curtain when I tried to close it showed up.

Pros: liked the fact that during the Pandemic, they offered in room breakfast. The breakfast was offered a wide variety and adequate for 3 persons

Cons: Restaurant for dinner wasn't great

Pros: The location was great. Quick walk to the beautiful scenic lake. plenty of restaurants and shops/stores.

Cons: They were understaffed. we arrived and one person was doing the check in for everyone. I had to commend her for her efforts and calm manner. She ha fled everything with grace. I just can’t say the same thing for the restaurant staff. They got so overwhelmed in the morning. The people that had reserved for the breakfast buffet like us had to wait for the people that missed their time earlier and came down during someone else’s time. Poorly managed. To make things worse, we kindly asked to have the breakfast at the bar and the response was “not possible”. We asked why and the response was the same, “not possible “. Then I took a table for two and was told that I couldn’t seat there. In the end, we got a table with two chairs, I asked for another chair for my husband and I went upstairs to my room since I knew there was a coffee machine there.

Pros: thanks

Strange to have a glass between the room and the bathroom, no privacy. Also access to and exit from the parking is difficult. Not enough choise for meals, for example no pasta.

Pros: Breakfast is good, rooms are good size and modern. Staff is very friendly and helpful.

We enjoyed an overnight stay at this hotel recently. While it does not sit directly on the lake it is only about a 5 minute walk to the lake front. It is about a 10 minute taxi ride from the train station. The hotel was clean and rooms were decent size. The staff was friendly although many times had to wait a long period at the front desk. We did not use the poo as it was raining but it looked very nice. Breakfast was OK with choices of cereals, eggs, fruit. The hotel staff and management are very personable and remember your name as I was staying here for quite some time. The hotel is very clean and has a parking garage for your vehicle and is located close to public transportation (train and bus) as well as centrally located for a quick 10 minute walk to the center of Lugano. It is also 1 street away from Lake Lugano. The hotel has a breakfast buffet to choose anything from a traditional European breakfast to just some yogurt and fruit. Switzerland is expensive and this hotel is reasonably priced for the location. I would highly recommend the hotel.

Pros: Location is excellent, parking available at the hotel, excellent breakfast, a lot of restaurants and shopping around, public transportation very easy.

Cons: A little trick to find but can be done, just trust the GPS.

Pros: Position, in the city center and near the lake and teatre.

Cons: The need of Corona pass for have breakfast.

Pros: near the center only

Cons: old

Pros: Nice location, perfect view! But the soundproifing is not good.

Pros: Location at centre of old city

Cons: Small elevator, small restaurant for breakfast

Very good

Pros: Staff was very friendly and helpful and the location is great

Cons: Different things in the room were broken and there was a smell hanging around the place

Pros: Friendly personell, clean hotel. Amazing location

Cons: Breakfast was very sober. Rooms were extremely small. No AC so can get really hot, only vents.

Pros: What the hotel lacked in facilities was more than made up for by the friendly, helpful staff and excellent location, just round the corner from the [cheap] furnicular that takes you to the main train station, and less than a minute's walk from the lake. On a pedestrianised street lined with high end shops, beside a coop, loads of good places to eat (spoiled for choice really). Everything is within walking distance, but you have free Ticino transport for exploring further afield. Great holiday, Mediterranean vibe everywhere (though it's in Switzerland), for me much better than staying in Paradiso that can almost feel residential. The hotel is a no-frills affair - 2* B&B with lovely staff, clean; no safe, mini fridge or aircon (there's a ceiling fan), but everything you need if you're out all day and only need a good place to sleep. You couldn't get a better location and service for the price; would certainly visit again and recommend.

Cons: Some minor repairs/redecoration needed in the room we stayed in; also there was no wardrobe (just a few hangers on a rack under the TV), or desk in the room. Due to the last minute covid restrictions introduced by the government, on the last day the breakfast was inadequate. We had been offered a voucher in lieu of the hotel breakfast, which in hindsight we should have taken as we would have had a much better, meal. But this wouldn't put me off returning or recommending.

Perfect for quick family trip. Close to train station. Middle of the city. Pets allowed. Very friendly staff. +++

Close to the coop supermarket, very good breakfast

Wonderful ladies there to help us

Tip top location. Walking distance. Middle of town center

Great value for the money, everything you need in a room, no frills, but a clean room with awesome location.
