Top Lugano City-Centre Hotel Reviews

Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni

8/10 Good

"We stayed here for four nights —-booked two rooms for our family. Some of the highlights include: 1) great, fantastic location which is short walking distance to ferry, shops and restaurants. 2) we enjoyed the breakfast buffet, and beautiful swimming pool every day. 3) super comfortable beds and well air conditioned rooms. 4) staffs at the breakfast, pool and concierge are super attentive, warm and helpful. The concierge booked a private boat tour for us and provided useful advices on day trips and ferry schedules. The only and the biggest low light was that the casual restaurant (La Goletta) was super disappointing. The food was boring, plain, and poorly prepared . The restaurant waiters were cold and stern. Given the price, the restaurant felt way below our expectation. Recommend to stay at the hotel but eat elsewhere."

Palace Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel was beautiful and the best location. Our room was supposed to have a lake view which it had however there was a huge tree that blocked almost all the view of the lake. I wish the hotel had a pool. The breakfast was outstanding. Lots of varieties. Overall I would recommend it. The only thing I wish it had was a swimming pool."

B&B Hotel Como City Center

10/10 Excellent

"Room was great as a base to explore. We were only there for a quick breakfast and to sleep but beds were comfy, room quiet but could do with some modernisation of the bathroom shower. Overall a good hotel, close to San Giovanni station and a short 10 minute walk to the centre of Como. Breakfast typical of most hotels in Italy and would happily stay here again."
