Featured Hotels near Museo della civilta contadina del Mendrisiotto, Stabio

From 30 - 31 Oct 2021 we stayed in this hotel 1min walk from Mendrisio Train station and 1min walk from Fox Town Outlet Shopping. As we traveled during the Corona Pandemic, we went for outlet shopping to Fox Town, the hotel is nothing special but was good for a 1 night stay. Summary: The bed was comfortable and we slept good, however movable, no choice of pillows offered. The bathroom was good, the shower beam was great, from both the rain-shower and the hand-shower. The numbers: -Price/Quality: 3*** of 5***** (155/$ per 1 nights + 17$ city tax per person = 35$ (translated from 30.= CHF) -Price: $$$1/2 of $$$$$ -Quality: 2.5*** of 5 -Service at Reception: 3*** of 5 -Service Overall: 3*** of 5 -Services Breakfast: the choice isn’t varied. It was a very basic breakfast, they could have easily made a personal breakfast service they had plenty personal, also any additions where $$$$$ [french toast 10$, pancakes 13$]. -Wheelchair Accessible: 4**** (elevator) -Overall rating: rather 2.5** then 3***, disappointing mostly was the breakfast and the restaurant aside had no ambiance we didn’t go there but went to Il Fortuna 350m walk (other side of train station), room was good size, good decent bathroom and shower (fit 2 persons), low quality TV (outdated), pool was in renovation we think, looked abandoned. Hotel looked very outdated but rooms semi modernized. Restaurant We didn’t use looked “dead” no ambiance, we went to another restaurant that was recommended by Google maps (see above). Breakfast was between 06:30 and 10:00 - limited time, choices were limited and of low quality, we even saw supermarket brand yogurts served. Cold-cuts were only pork, no salmon and turkey so if you were vegetarian or a non-pork eater you would be left with little choices... Room Our room was 623 on the 6th floor, there is only one elevator and the floors 1-5 seem not to exist. The bed was comfortable, 200cm by 100cm - 2 beds could be moved together to form one. The room was a good size and we slept well. The room had a chair and a work desk. Plenty of power-outlets (next to the TV wall, on the side). The room had no coffee machine and no separate water kettle (boiler). Bathroom The bathroom was of decent size with a nice shower (fit 2 persons). The bathroom had standard amenities, but no Q-tips or cotton pads. A blow dryer of low quality was available. No bathrobes were available, no free slippers. Overall The location is good if you are visiting the outlet center/shopping mall, the room size bigger then most, no balcony, and no view. However you are within 10min walking at Fox Town. We think the hotel is a medium quality, provided great sleep, the price is too steep this could have been 100 and the additional tax makes the experience worse, the hotel should offer the price incl. tax on ***********.

While the overall stay was comfortable the service especially the front desk was disappointing. For starters the reception has a welcome drink which guests can consume when they arrive, however if a guest wants to have it otherwise - they are expressly stopped by the front office staff staring that ‘you can drink only at check- in not otherwise’. Wow! I found that rude and shocking. 0 points on hospitality for that. Late checkout - no flexibility to checkout late even by 30 mins. The front desk staff kept calling us inspite of a request to checkout at 12 noon latest 12.15 pm but no later. If you’re sitting in the lobby waiting to leave for your next meeting after checking out the looks from the staff were as if you’re unwanted. Your stay is over Just Get Out - don’t hover around. Complimentary drinks at the bar - served as if they’re doing us a favour and if you don’t consume the drinks the same as on checking in the front office staff will confirm with bar whether you have indeed consumed the complimentary drinks or not before renewing or issuing a fresh voucher! They don’t trust you and take your word for it! I personally found that offensive.

I stayed only one night as my preferred hotel was fully booked and I was forced into hotel city lugano. I was pleasantly surprised. The staff was the kindest I have ever encountered anywhere in the world. Sure the decor isnt anything to praise and they dont have room service or other basics but it is clean and efficient. I have to say one more time that the staff here is just amazing, every single one of them. I would recommend this hotel.

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

Positives: The location of the hotel is so tranquil. Beautiful just after sunrise or sunset. The SPA is amazing, with emotional shower, sauna, turkish sauna, relaxation room, massage area, fitness studio, indoor pool with cold and hot jacuzzis, and outdoor pool with a heated outdoor hot tub (both closed on this occasion, unfortunately). Plenty of towels in SPA area. Tea/water facilities available. Perfect facilities for relaxation. The shower in the room is something every person needs in their life: one feels like a newborn after it. Especially useful when SPA area is closed but one needs to relax after a long day :) We checked in very late (was a very spontaneous decision) and were welcomed in an appropriate manner - the last time we were treated like we didn't belong there (!). We enquired about a late checkout possibility, but were told to ask the next day. After some relaxing spa we did - and were offered to stay longer free of charge as it was Easter weekend. We checked out at 1 (instead of 11), meaning we had 2 more hours to enjoy the SPA area. Very grateful for this accommodation. Robes available in the room. Secure underground parking, free of charge. Complimentary bottles of water in the room and at checkout, a nice touch. Negatives: The breakfast is not great. This is our second stay and we are underwhelmed - we had better breakfast spread/quality in 3-4 star hotels before. There's no quark, cereal selection is poor, no Nutella, coffee is not good at all. The SPA area is open only between 8 am and 8 pm, meaning no late chilling in the jacuzzi. For a 5 star resort I would imagine this should be available 24/7 or at least till 10 pm. As mentioned previously, the lift system is bad, meaning one has to wait very long to use the lift to access the SPA/Restaurant/outdoor swimming pool.

What a surprise. Entrance, garage, check-in were so easy. But there was another big surprise: we were upgraded to a Suite. Room and bathroom were prefect and clean. The restaurant food was very good. There is a nice terrace overlooking the large swimming pool. The staff was very professional and extremely friendly. Breakfast was a very well appointed buffet. The location was perfect for us. Not too far from the freeway without the drawbacks and not too far from Lugano that can be reached in less than half hour. We highly recommend this hotel.
