Best Western Hotel Bellevue Au Lac

Lugano|0.27km from Museum of Cultures
This could have been a good hotel, albeit quite pricy, but somehow justifiable through its location. But unfortunately I had the WORST ever experience I ever had in any hotel, anywhere. On the good part: Good location in Paradiso, on the promenade, 15 min walk on the promenade to the center of Lugano. Nice lobby, good breakfast and friendly staff (at the breakfast, and partly at the reception). But the good stuff ended here. This stay was part of a multi-city trip with three stays and I simply forgot at check-in time that the booking was actually for lake side-view room. We arrived and completed check-in by 2:30. The lady at the front-desk told us the room is not ready and we need to wait till 3pm. I asked her kindly if she can check with the housekeeping if room is ready, being only 30 min left till 3pm, but she just told ”no, it's not”. Then I asked her to give us a lake or at least lake-side view, but she told that the hotel is fully booked and our room is with pool view. We didn't wanted to wait till the room is ready, so we just left the luggage and got to the city. We returned at the hotel late, by 9:30 - 10pm and when we got to the room (I think 315) we had the unpleasant surprise to see the ugly view from the balcony (construction site or quarry). In the bath the stopper was stuck and the sink quickly filled with dirty water. I called the reception to fix, the lady from check-in came but she told there's no-one in the hotel at this hour to fix, and she left. So I had to put my hands into the sink filled with dirty water and take off the stopper. Then we wanted to turn on the TV which didn't worked. I called the reception again, and someone came, took the remote to change its batteries, but the TV didn't started either. So he told the TV might be broken and they try to fix it the next day. I found finally that the TV was stopped actually from the hardware power button, because the remote power button actually didn't worked. All this added to my frustration, and I finally realized that I actually booked a room with lake-side view, which they didn't gave me. So I went to the reception, showed them the actual reservation confirmation and asked again for the room I paid for, which they told they cannot because everything is full. I asked to change my room the next day as booked, or I'll make an official complain to the Tourist Authority. Few minutes later I got a phone call from the reception, telling me there is a manager available, and if he can come to see the room and talk. I said of course. My mistake! At the door arrived the lady who checked me in, accompanied by a person, who stepped int the room and asked me what is the problem. I started to tell him we are booked for a side-lake view but we didn't it, but he interrupted me and started to raise his voice, telling why I keep complaining! What I don't like about the room? Isn't the furniture new and the walls newly painted? I told I never complained about what he says, I just want to get

Hotel de La Paix
4.3/567 Reviews
I've had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful hotel multiple times, and each visit reinforces why it's my go-to choice. The staff is not only amazing but also incredibly friendly and resourceful, always going above and beyond to ensure a memorable stay. The food is consistently delicious, and the well-kept bedrooms never fail to impress with their cleanliness and attention to detail. This hotel truly feels like a home away from home, and I can't recommend it enough for a comfortable and enjoyable stay

Luganodante - We Like You

Just beside the cable car station. The cable car takes three minutes to the train station. The hotel has a free cable car card. Warm, warm, free drinks and drinks in the lobby. Wangzhong is quiet. The surrounding shopping restaurant is very convenient, a few steps to the lake. Recommended to stay. But I booked a deluxe room, which is larger than a desk, and it is the highest price in several prices. But the ordinary room given by the hotel does not have a desk. I am too lazy to say it. The next price will be booked at the lowest price.
San Carlo Suite
4.1/510 Reviews
The room was modern and stylishly furnished, as well as very clean. The self-checking/out also worked smoothly. The structure is very central, it is located in the street behind Riva Vincenzo Vela (head street along the lake) and near the LAC parking house. Many beautiful shops are found there. From there you can reach the beautiful old town in a few minutes, where you can sit in the cafe or look at attractions. I would like to highlight the service provided by Francesco. I had forgotten my expensive professional hairdryer in the bathroom at the departure. I was immediately informed after the departure that the cleaning power had found my hairdryer. I was fortunately still on the ground and could still pick it up. Since the cleaning power couldn't wait long, I had not much time, but he was concerned to find a solution so that I could have my hairdryer back. Very exemplary! At this point I don't understand some negative reviews, if for someone respect and friendship is a foreign word, then you don't have to expect it to come back. Thanks di tutto Francesco, alla prossima!
Hotel San Carlo
3.9/541 Reviews
The location of this hotel is particularly good on the commercial street of the old town. On the first floor is the shop selling Swiss army knives. The shop is not the door of the hotel. Don’t walk through it. You can walk downhill from the train station. There is a steep slope and it is recommended to go down the mountain. It is a little tired to go up the mountain. If you have a Swiss Pass, you can take the cable car down for free. The room is very light and the decoration is very fresh. From the hotel, go to the opposite direction of the train station and quickly go to the lake. The cruise ship terminal is on the left hand side of the exit, and the pier is further a park. A hotel I like more, small and exquisite.
Villa Principe Leopoldo - Ticino Hotels Group

Excellent in all! Absolutely wonderful location (only accessible with taxi) whether day or night! A wonderful DeLuxe room with sea view! The size, the materials of highest quality and finest design. Eat excellent in the Bistro, since full booked in the restaurant! Unfortunately only one night a.Gr. of much work also in Lugano (visit a super performance in the art and culture center). The fitness/sauna was unfortunately closed, but private spa was bookable before departure Sunday morning ... good alternative. The gardens around the sky! The team was super professional, extremely friendly and helpful. Good and dream of my next visit to Villa Leopold ...Heartly recommended for enjoying the fine and good ... Denise Worlds in Zurich
