Excellent location! When you arrive at the train station, take the funicular down and as soon as you get off turn right- the hotel is in that back corner beside cafe Milano. Rooms were recently renovated, great breakfast, and friendly staff. We would definitely stay here again.

Loved it! Loved it! Loved it! The best of 6 hotels on my visit to Schys. Attractive, spacious comfortable rooms. Great location , just steps from the funicular to the station. Two min. from hotel to station via funicular! Plenty of restaurants and shops steps away. And Lugano itself is as lovely as advertised. Would I stay again? Absolutely! Ten plus!

The marketing does not do this place justice! From pictures online, I was skeptical, but the location and quality of this hotel was above my expectations. The room was nice, bed comfy and breakfast abundant! The entrance is hidden behind large plants as the hotel is tucked into a corner at the base of the funicular. No noise problem!

We stayed here one night with our toddler and it was great, very clean very easy to get too! No great views out the window but that’s totally fine for our over night stay Staff was friendly and gave us a crib for our toddler and allowed us to turn on the AC unit because with the windows open we had a couple of mosquitos

Nice Enough

It's a nice enough hotel, right next to the funicular that takes you to the train station. The rooms are quite dated, but the breakfast was nice the service was very good.
