ibis budget Lugano Paradiso, hotel in Lugano

Only 215 yards from Lake Lugano, Ibis Budget Lugano Paradiso features free Wi-Fi, a bar, and a restaurant. The center of Lugano is just under a mile away.

**Disappointing Experience at Ibis Budget Lugano Paradiso** My recent stay at Ibis Budget Lugano Paradiso was highly disappointing. The room lacked even the most basic amenities expected from a hotel; there were no slippers, soap, or even towels provided. Furthermore, the air conditioning was non-functional, making the room uncomfortably warm, and the electrical outlets for charging devices were scarce. The cramped space of the room also resulted in a lack of ventilation, leaving it feeling suffocating and reminiscent of a prison cell. Considering the exorbitant price charged for such substandard conditions, staying at this hotel is simply unjustifiable. I strongly advise against it and would not recommend it even to my worst enemy.

Acquarello Swiss Quality Hotel, hotel in Lugano

The Hotel Acquarello is located in the Old Town of Lugano, right at the lower terminus of the funicular connecting the center to the main railway station.

The location and the service are both good. For the area, the pricing is pretty good. The size of the room is decent. It’s sweet of them to give you chocolate upon arrival. The only product they provide in the bathroom is nice.

    Take the cable cart to the top of the hill - St.

    Take the cable cart to the top of the hill - St. Salvatore and if you have good weather - there awaits you and this is not an exaggeration by any means - one of the most amazing views I have ever seen in my life. Also we took a boat ride along the lake, which without any discount is about 40CHF for 2 hours ride, which is also very nice. There is a half tax discount if you have it for Switzerland. Miniature museum is nice as well. Lugano over all I think will stay in my heart :)

    2 nights would have been sufficient for us. We took a day trip to Bellinzona and visited most of the popular attractions and had time to spare. We are not shoppers or people who like to hang out next to a pool and relax. If you are that type of person, the lake is beautiful and the shopping options are abundant.

From outside the train station Lugano Stazione, there's bus taking U to bus stop outside Hotel Nassa or like Us, took the Funicular(free) down n walked thru the City Centre/ Old Town via Via Nassa to the hotel. Hotel's location is most convenient to get to all attractions either by walks or buses, which are also free. Hotel's very clean n front office services were excellent n not forgetting the buffet breakfast n the lovely serving Lady.

    This hotel close to the main train station shares it’s lovely grounds with a hostel. Our room had a balcony but no curtains across the glass doors. Fortunately, there were shutters that could be closed to block the morning light and some of the train station noise. The bathroom is small and bath gel is provided only in little pouches. The bed is comfy and they provided an extra pillow on request. There a small frig and welcome AC in this warm part of Switzerland.

    Lugano is expensive and not overly endowed with hotels so it was a pleasure to find this welcoming and reasonably priced hotel, not too far from town centre. We booked room with balcony which was lovely, side view of lake as described and south-facing. Station is walkable on arrival as is downhill - you get a travel pass in the price and the bus was very useful to and from town and back to the station. Staff very friendly and amusing.

    Excellent location. The hotel is located between Lugano and Morcote. It takes no more than 20 minutes to get to one or another town by bus. At the hotel you can get a free pass for all modes of transport (including the ferry) to move around the region. You can also get a ticket with discounts for visiting local museums. There is an Italian restaurant next to the hotel, but we didn't really like it.

We then walked from the hotel to the nearby park to see the lake within 2 minutes. A very cozy sleep and super convenient for train travelers needing a stop in Lugano or folks visiting longer!
