Very nice hotel, close to the city center and with an amazing view on the lake. My room was newly refurbished, it was very nice and clean. Communication with staff was smooth and they were also very helpful. Hotel has an amazing rooftop terrasse with a great view on the lake and mountains, unfortunately the weather was nice only the last day of my stay so I could not enjoy it so much, but it is one other reason to visit again. Highly recommended

Excellent location (just a short walk down the hill from the train station), wonderful staff, delicious breakfast! We enjoyed our stay very much! The beds were comfortable, there was plenty of food to chose from during breakfast and we received answers to all the questions we had. The hotel has its own history which we found very interesting to see in all the pictures that were up on the walls.

2 nights would have been sufficient for us.
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.

Lugano is an exceptional peaceful small city where you can enjoy the best views of the lake. Much better place to be compared to Como the busy crowded city.
We totally loved this city and all the things that offers from good food and pleasant historic buildings as well as friendly people.

Lugano is beautiful!
Lugano is beautiful! Walking by the lake, sitting by it in chairs provided for free to the public, taking a boat ride, riding the funicular up to the mountain to see the views, all great! City bus transportation excellent.

Everything within walking distance or short bus/train/...
Everything within walking distance or short bus/train/funicular away. Great beach, amazing scenery. Lots of great restaurants. So Many points of interest to see, we unfortunately didn’t have time to do it all, but we enjoyed taking the funicular to Monte Bre, boat excursion to Melide, train to Bellizone to see the castles… Guess we’ll need to come back to see the rest!
Good value for the location.
The room had very good air con
which was important as it was over 33 degrees.
I didn’t realise that Switzerland had different plug
adapters compared to other EU countries.
We searched Lugano for over 2 hours looking for one
and had no luck, a really nice girl (with glasses) can’t remember her namewho was serving
the breakfast in the hotel gave me her charger and
allowed me to keep it for the duration of my stay.
The Walter au Lac Hotel has wonderful view over the lake of Lugano and the Monte Ré. We had 2 single rooms (connected) on the top floor and the view was stunning. They did offer a delicious breakfast with everything you want. On top of that the staff was very welcoming and the hotel is situated right in the centre of everything, shops, restaurants, lake, etc. We will return for sure!
Our family arrived by train and were able to easily find the hotel. Our room was the suite that comprised half of the top floor. The views from the room were exceptional and we spent most of our time outside on our large balcony. Breakfast was quite good and the people working in the restaurant were very friendly. Would highly recommend this hotel if staying in Lugano.
Fabulous location... beautiful view of Lake.Easy taxi ride to and from airport. Staff was super
.helped us with phone calls re: Gothard Panoramic express arrangements.
The best buffet breakfast
I have ever experienced at a hotel...linen table cloths .. table ware was well appointed. All staff... especially reception desk evening and next morning were exceptional.
The view is the selling point of this hotel! It is a very relaxing experience to sit on the balcony and see the city underneath lighting up for the night life.
The room is in good size and the balcony is in a comfortable size too.
The bus right in front of the hotel that leads to the center of Lugano and the scenery on the route is quite enjoyable.
Breakfast was OK.
One of the beautiful hotels as a location, as well as the cleanliness, service and classy treatment of the staff. I listened a lot in the hotel. And the view of the lake from the balcony was one of the most beautiful moments. I will choose the same hotel if I think of returning to Lugano, and I will recommend it to colleagues and friends.
The location was excellent—10 minutes walking distance to the funicular to Monte San Salvatore and 5 minutes to Lake Lugano—and the Paradiso boat stop. Dinner outdoors on the patio of the hotel restaurant was delightful with pleasant Italian singer (in English) and in the morning the breakfast was generous and delicious!
The location is perfect. Just minutes away from Coop and Migros Supermarket. It is possible to walk to downtown and to the Lago di Lugano. It is a spacious apartment that suited really a family of four. The kitchen has enough utensils to cook a simple meal. The price was way better than most of the good hotels in town.
Nestled in the heart of Lugano, this quaint hotel offers a cozy and authentic experience. Despite its age, the warm ambiance, attentive staff.. With modest accommodations and a prime location near Lugano's main attractions, it's an ideal retreat for travelers seeking a slice of history and culture.
- Great location in Paradiso Lugano, just a 20-minute walk from the city centre or 9 minutes by bus. Ticino public transport ticket was included, all buses were free!
- The hotel is only 3 minutes from the lake, great walking spot!
- Friendly staff
- Clean room
5 star resort beautifully located on a hill with a breathtaking view over "Lago die Lugano". We felt absolutely welcomed by the hotel team and the complimentary services such as tennis courst and bike rentals were more than convenient.
Spacious place, 2 bathrooms, comfy beds and sheets. Very close to Lago di Lugano. Private Parking a big plus in that area. Pillows were very good (most of the hotels and reveals have had pillows). Great value for the money.
Loved this old elegant grand hotel! The room was huge! Breakfast fantastic! Their outside restaurant sits right on the lake with magnificent views. They took good care of our bicycles. Will definitely go back!
A really nice hotel located few steps from the lake, in the historic centre of Lugano. Super friendly staff, clean room and nice view on the street and the lake.
That the hotel is located close to the lake, the receptionist were nice and really professional. The waitress we had during the breakfast was really attentive.
By far the best hotel of our 4 night visit to Switzerland, beating a 5star in Zurich.
Modern, fresh, sophisticated and right by the funicular to the station.
