Hotel Federale, hotel in Lugano

This family-owned hotel is centrally located just a short walk from Lugano town centre and its breathtaking lakeshore, and the famous Piazza Riforma with its many sidewalk cafés.

The location of Studios 1 and 3 is excellent - just down the steps from the Cathedral of Saint Lawrence (the bells start at 7:00 and stop at 20:00). They both have air conditioning. Very clean and quiet, with the exception of some street noise (people, no cars). Oil, salt, dishwashing liquid, dishwasher tablets, sponge and kitchen towels were provided. Staff were friendly and professional, especially when I locked my keys in the room and they had to come down and help! It is close to the station (5 minutes walk) but it's up a steep hill that is mostly ramp with some stairs.

Location was perfect. Once we were told to get on the funicular. After getting off the train. Hotel was about 80 metres from funicular. Room was a squeeze as it was a very old building but had a lot of character and we loved that.

    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.

    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.

    Lugano is an exceptional peaceful small city where you can enjoy the best views of the lake. Much better place to be compared to Como the busy crowded city. We totally loved this city and all the things that offers from good food and pleasant historic buildings as well as friendly people.

    We liked everything in Bellevue Bellavista. Two ladies were there and the breakfast was awesome. Really great stay. The view was breathtaking, rooms were cosy and airy. One can see the Lake Lugano from the room. Small kitchen was an added benefit with all the utensils and glasses made it a very helpful and comfortable stay. Last but not the least the connectivity is very good as there were buses every hour passing just beside the hotel.

    Breakfast was amazing. Dining room was excellent. Above all the service was 5 star….from the lovely lady at the front desk, to the restaurant staff to the breakfast attendant was beyond reproach. The staff here are very happy and eager to please. It is not a high end hotel but it’s beyond high end in service and attitude. We stayed 2x and would stay again if we return to Lugano. Xxxxx

    The warmth of the staff is exceeded only by the quiet, clean, comfort and beautiful location. We got in late and the lovely staff in the restaurant stayed open and ensured we were fed. We then walked from the hotel to the nearby park to see the lake within 2 minutes. A very cozy sleep and super convenient for train travelers needing a stop in Lugano or folks visiting longer!

    One of the beautiful hotels as a location, as well as the cleanliness, service and classy treatment of the staff. I listened a lot in the hotel. And the view of the lake from the balcony was one of the most beautiful moments. I will choose the same hotel if I think of returning to Lugano, and I will recommend it to colleagues and friends.
