Nice
Nice and well located hotel with pleasant staff. The room was not huge and the balcony looked into offices. But it was adequate and I'd stay there again.

Great hotel in a great location. I appreciated the hotel having 1 standard European power socket as I was unable to find an adaptor for the Swiss socket in Australia. Coffee machine in room & fridge. Was given a free block of Swiss chocolate upon check in which was nice & a Ticino Ticket with free public transport.

This hotel is next to the furnicular that goes to the train station and also a very easy walk to the lake and shopping. The included breakfast was nice with an assortment of options. The beds were comfortable , the facilities were clean and nicely kept. The staff was friendly and helpful. It was nice to have access to the gym and sauna. We were very happy with this hotel.

Easy to find, just get off the funicular and walk through adjacent courtyard. Heard the funicular and it sounded to me like a distant jet plane, but it bothered my significant other. Staff was awesome and helpful.
