Centric, clean, efficient. This hotel embodies Swiss efficiency and order! Perfect for a hub to visit Lugano and surrounding areas. The breakfast was plentiful and we even received a Lugano pass that makes city and regional buses and train free, and granted discounts on visits like Swiss miniature.
Great place, everything worked well and service was friendly and competent … I was first person at breakfast and had to find coffee server - would prefer self-serve coffee and something warm in the breakfast - a little bit of egg or sausage would have been great … 4.5 overall
Incredibly helpful and friendly staff. The room was spacious and clean and the hotel is in nice walking distance to both the centre and the train station.

It was much better than I expected for this price in Lugano. The staff was great and responsive for anything I needed, location was perfect, breakfast was great for the price.
Great location, friendly and helpful staff. Loved the room. Also loved the process of leaving our key at the front desk when we went out. Very authentic.
My single room was clean and in excellent repair. The hotel location is convenient to restaurants, sights and transport. The number 1 bus which goes almost everywhere I wanted to go stops directly in front of the hotel.
Hotel Petalozzi was clean, comfortable, and relaxing. The rooms were large, modern and well appointed. It was very hot and humid when we arrived so we were very thankful for the air conditioning! The hotel is close to everything yet not directly in center which is nice. The staff was friendly and efficient.
It was ok, but not more. Feels more run down than it is. The House has Lots of charm, the rooms- not so. No duvet, just a thin blanket (with holes)it’s reasonable in Price and I liked the central Location. My verdict: it needs much more love and engagement. Staff at the reception was excellent. I will not go back.
The staff took care of our every need. Special thanks for 5 star service from Luigi’s and Elisa! Elisa saved us from being stranded in Italy after the trains were cancelled and no other transportation in Milan could be found. Thanks
Stayed on 2nd floor with front and side windows. Lots of noise in the park across the road but the windows and a/c block it. Staff is excellent, cold breakfast had lots of options and for an extra 8F you could have scrambled eggs. Great location to walk to everything.
