    Continental Park hotel was a good choice for us arriving at the peak season, but having not much budget to spend for long weekend. Great value for the price. The hotel has a long history and we were impressed how they cheer it with numerous old photos and pictures. Polite and helpful staff, very clean and convenient rooms. Amazing breakfast! And very good location: not far from the center, you can use funicular for free to go up and down to the center if you don’t want to use the stairs. We didn’t use the pool, though it looked nice.

    Very central location. Good value for a 3-star hotel. Our economy room had a mini bar and a safe. Staff were friendly, helpful and efficient and everywhere was very clean. Good breakfast buffet. Very good coffee was also available 24 hours in the corridor outside our room. We would definitely book this hotel again for a short stay in Lugano.
