    Lugano is a beautiful place, wonderful lake surrounded by mountains. It's a great place for a relaxing few days, away from the busier parts of Europe. There's plenty to do, including wonderful lake cruises.

    I had no criticisms. An unusual aspect was their having a seat which can be out inside the shower for safety. The location was excellent, the staff very competent and helfsul. The Ticino ticket was very convenient for me.

    Beautiful lakeside location surrounded by grand historic buildings and lovely tree lined promenades. Best visited during sunny weather for the best views. Surrounding towns such a the picturesque Morcote, are easily accessed via ferry.

    Such a beautiful city on the side of the lake. It's so relaxing and a nice mix of Swiss efficiency and cleanliness with Italian charm and rustic. Lots of chances for walks and swimming and other things to do.

    So many shops and restaurants so nearby. No transportation needed. Funicular was great from train station to town center. Lake Lugano great view. Switzerland was not as expensive as everyone says. Free bus and train. Reasonable meal and drinks.

    Very good - What previous guests thought, 1,751 reviews
    I booked 2 standard rooms for myself and my family. The rooms were not very big but were full of facilities. Even if I can't operate the Nespresso machine), I enjoyed my 1 night stay at the Novotel. And BIG applause go to the breakfast itself and the breakfast area. The variety of products you would expect only from 5-star hotels, wide area. Very easy access from the central station to the hotel and from the hotel to the city centre. I will definitely choose Novotel for my next trip to Lugano. Maybe even just for breakfast :)

    The garden and the lido are amazing! Breakfast has a very nice choice and when you can have it outside with the view to the garden it is super nice. Also all the staff is very good trained and does an excellent job. We also already stayed in several other 4 and 5 start hotels in Ticino, compared to the other option the price/ value ratio is here great!

    Good location (5 minutes from Lugano main station) Clean place and friendly staff. We didn't have breakfast at the hotel, but we were told it costs 12 CHF extra per person. Despite the large road below the hotel, the noise was only present when opening the windows and only in the evening/morning (during the night it was very quiet)
