    Take the cable cart to the top of the hill - St.

    Take the cable cart to the top of the hill - St. Salvatore and if you have good weather - there awaits you and this is not an exaggeration by any means - one of the most amazing views I have ever seen in my life. Also we took a boat ride along the lake, which without any discount is about 40CHF for 2 hours ride, which is also very nice. There is a half tax discount if you have it for Switzerland. Miniature museum is nice as well. Lugano over all I think will stay in my heart :)

    2 nights would have been sufficient for us. We took a day trip to Bellinzona and visited most of the popular attractions and had time to spare. We are not shoppers or people who like to hang out next to a pool and relax. If you are that type of person, the lake is beautiful and the shopping options are abundant.

    I got a room with a view which was very nice, the room was spacious, the bed was confortable the illumination was good and the shower very confortable. the place is in the top of the city there is a funicular that can take you down town, and walking is about 10 min it is steep but ok. The hotel is in front of the train station that can take you to lots of places, and the hotel gave us a code that let us use the train and ferry for free to go any were in Switzerland. The breakfast was very good and the service was great too.

    The staff and the owner of the hotel are very helpful and they upgrade the room once they know that the Wifi is not good in our reserved room. The location in Paradiso is highly appreciated. The location is very close to the train station. It saves time and money to go to different important places like Monte San Salvatore, Swissmanutour, lake toures,.... The room was comfortable with a perfect balcony but the pillows has to be less soft. When I will go back to lugano I will reserve again a room in this hotel.

    The location of the hotel is ideal, directly overlooking Lake Lugano in the Paradiso section of town, and a pleasant 15 minute walk to the center. The building itself is gorgeous and while the hotel itself is pretty run down (it has a 1970s feel), the lack of any attempt to make it more luxurious means it is good value for money. In fact, the decor throughout the hotel looks like the owners spent a lot of time rummaging around at yard sales looking for an assortment of kitsch items.
