Top Museo delle Culture Hotel Reviews

Suitenhotel Parco Paradiso

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel great location close to buses and train station"

Villa Sassa

10/10 Excellent

"Room was spacious and comfortable with an amazing gym."

Walter au Lac

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was a very good and the room was charming. The bed was comfortable and everything was clean. We did find the shower ackward to stand in, because the tub narrowed. The staff was friendly and helpful."

Hotel Federale Lugano

8/10 Good

"The Mandarin Oriental this is not. This is a clean, well run, small European hotel, not new, but well maintained, with a very friendly and astonishingly multi-lingual staff. The clientele appeared to be well-to-do couples speaking French and German. The food in the restaurant was not flaming or foaming, but the lasagne made with fresh pasta was very nice, as was my glass of red wine. The hotel is within spitting distance of both Hertz and the train station. If you have reason to stay overnight in Lugano, this seems like a logical and pleasant choice."

Lugano Center GuestHouse

8/10 Good

"Spacious, bright, clean, comfortable room. Short walk to the lake in the Paradiso area and abot 15mims easy walk along the lakeside to Lugano centre. The Guest House is a lot better on the inside than it looks on the outside!! We opted to pay for parking space at the guest house €20 euros. Street an meter parking is nightmare in Lugano area but there are several pay parking garages fairly close by. We would stay there again if the xhance arose."

Villa Principe Leopoldo

10/10 Excellent

"Fabulous boutique hotel. All the staff were exceedingly courteous and helpful. Rooms have incredible views above Lake Lugano and it wasn’t an issue about not being located in the actual town itself, in fact it was a positive, with the hotel running a courtesy shuttle minibus down to the town and back 3 times daily. Restaurant absolutely wonderful with incredible food and wine choices. Bar offers an alternative more relaxed eating option either inside or outside on the lovely terrace. Would highly recommend."

Hotel De La Paix

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing"

Novotel Lugano Paradiso

8/10 Good

"Convenient parking. Good breakfast. Good location"

Hotel Victoria au Lac

8/10 Good

"It was an old building but nice and clean. Very close to shopping and public transportation. Staff were nice."
