Very Good

We were very fortunate to have a room in the front with a wonderful lake view. The hotel is comfortable older property, but the room and bathroom were large and spotless. Location is excellent, right next to the bus stop close to the town. Restaurant is excellent. Only negative is the absence of a grab bar in the bathtub/shower.
The pool area was beautiful with great views. The restaurant was excellent ! I stress dinner there twice. Beautiful and delicious meals. The breakfast was a true continental breakfast but still had options.
Great hotel, the location and the view were very nice. The room was very comfortable and the staff very attentive. The breakfast included with our stay was very generous and out of this world. We were very happy with our stay at this hotel.
Perfect location in Lugano. The hotel is definitely a bit dated and aged, but in that nice summer holiday family vibe, not bad at all. Breakfast was fantastic. Rooms could definitely benefit from a few more little amenities like extra pillows, a safe, etc.
A little outside of the downtown area, but a short Uber ride away. My room had a gorgeous view of the lake and surrounding mountains and lovely balcony. Very clean, friendly staff and air-conditioning that was a big relief on a hot, humid June day.

I think it's the best value for money in Lugano, trains nearbyby are frequent but quieter than US. Bed was hard and I would suggest bringing your own pillow. Staff were ecellent and friendly and the breakfast was limited but fairly priced. It's a difficult uphill, upstair walk from the lake so be in shape.
The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Simon made dinner service delightful (along with every other interaction).
We very much enjoyed our stay and have no problem recommending this lovely hotel in wonderful Paradiso!
Not friendly at check-in and balcony has seen better days. Great view on lake side of hotel but cost extra and parking was pricey. Great service at check-out.

Simon is a star!
Very friendly personnel in general, but I would like to call out Simon: what a outstanding employee! He made our stay and dinner experience exceptional.
Very easy public transport connections downtown Lugano.
The accommodation itself can use some modernization in terms of furniture and room interior. The quality of the beds was very good.

Great view of Lake Lugano - but there is a building site with 2 large cranes that suggests that in a year or so that view might be obscured by a new block. Our room was value for money but the hotel seemed to us to need investment, pretty much from top to bottom. Breakfast was good.
We enjoyed our stay at Hotel Delfino. We had a twin room with a balcony with a city view. The beds were very comfortable, and the air conditioner worked well.
Our favorite part of our stay was the breakfast. The hotel offered an extensive breakfast buffet, and there are quite a few tables indoors and around the pool area. The pool itself is very nice, with a shower off to the side. Pool towels are available at reception. You can also get free bus passes at reception. The lake is a couple of blocks away, with easy access to the walkway that runs along the lakeside.
Very dated decor and basic furnishings. Room was cramped and the walls were very thin. Had a room with a connecting door and could hear everything in the adjoining room. Difficult to get a good night’s sleep and do any work in the morning.
Location is okay but not particularly scenic for Lugano. Staff at reception were very friendly and welcoming.
Lugano is expensive but at over 200 CHF a night this felt very overpriced.

The check-in was lacking clarity which locked U.S. out after getting robbed at the train station at midnight. They don’t answer the emergency line they offer. The walls are power thin and house keeping talks across the halls while cleaning. Make sure you take the door code everywhere, they will lock you out. The place is very safe and we were grateful for the locals. They stop responding to what’s app (their offering for communication) once you are checked in. Would not turn to this hotel, but would rewritten to this city.

Decent hotel with some nice people in the reception but way too expensive.
I enjoyed my room on the fourth floor with a gorgeous view but when you pay way more than 300 Swiss Francs a night for this three star hotel, you expect more than a room with a Decent hotel but way too expensive.

Pleasant but a bit dated.
Stayed for two one-night stays as part of a road trip, different rooms each time. Pros: the interconnecting rooms for a family are very convenient and the beds are comfortable. Cons: the hotel feels strikingly dated in terms of decor and amenities. We could not use European adaptors as they would not fit; there are no USB charging points in the rooms.The breakfast is ok but not a huge selling point, and we found it overall a bit soulless though it is convenient to be able to eat there in the evening as it is a distance from the centre of Lugano. For the money I felt it did not offer great value; however it was a cheaper option in the location so perhaps I am expecting too much. None of the reviews mentioned the train line behind the property! Not a deal breaker but hat means frequent and quite noticeable noise. Staff generally pleasant and helpful; a good pit-stop overall
