Hotel Walter Au Lac, hotel in Lugano

Situated on the lake promenade near the traffic-free centre of Lugano, Hotel Walter Au Lac offers you rooms with superb lake views. WiFi is free of charge. All air-conditioned rooms are renovated.

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

GuestHouse Lugano Center by LR, hotel in Lugano

Located 2.1 km from Exhibition Center Lugano, GuestHouse Lugano Center by LR is a guest house in Lugano that boasts a shared lounge. This guest house offers a concierge service.

This property really ideal, it's so close to the lake about 5 mins walk and only 15 mins walk to the centre. They are also close to the train station and main bus routes. The staff were so helpful and friendly , the room were clean and just what we needed, you see alot of bad reviews - but I'd completely disagree with these. Also they offer a free travel pass which includes discounts , I made the most of this and saved lots on transport, would recommend doing this if your staying here. I also used the washing machine and dryer which were free to use and the power was also provided, irons are also available to use. Great stay. Thanks to those members of staff for being so helpful!

    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.

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!

    The staff and the owner of the hotel are very helpful and they upgrade the room once they know that the Wifi is not good in our reserved room. The location in Paradiso is highly appreciated. The location is very close to the train station. It saves time and money to go to different important places like Monte San Salvatore, Swissmanutour, lake toures,.... The room was comfortable with a perfect balcony but the pillows has to be less soft. When I will go back to lugano I will reserve again a room in this hotel.
