Very good hotel for a business traveller.

Pros: Quiet and comfortable. Good breakfast.
Cons: List required the room card to go up, for the security I imagine, while one can just take the stairs. A little inconsistent.
Location: Not near to the lake but close to the university.
Arrived in the morning, but they changed the room so that I could check in. Good service. The room was a reasonable size, clean and comfortable. A transparent bath room may not be the everyone's favourite but fine for a business traveller.

Das Hotel ist sehr stylisch und praktisch eingerichtet. Es liegt optimal, ist per Bus oder zu Fuss gut erreichbar und nah am Zentrum von Lugano. Es gibt eine Tiefgarage, die kostet extra.
