Amazing stay at Luganodante! The location is extremely central, the hotel is spotless clean, and the breakfast is delicious. What truly stood out, however, was the outstanding customer service. Every member of the staff was friendly, attentive, and highly professional. I highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay here again when visiting Lugano.
While breakfast was included, I was surprised to find that there was an extra charge for an omelette. Additionally, there was an extra fee to have the croissant warmed. I believe these items should be included as part of the breakfast offering. Despite this, everything else was great.

The staff were very friendly and attentive. Excellent service! Great location, right in the middle of the old city. The room was super clean and tidy, smelling nice, just perfect. Free soft drinks in the minibar, that was a nice touch! Free Wi-Fi. Comfy beds/pillows. Very good breakfast, sweet and savoury choices, great coffee. The automatic parking was something to see: enter your car and you leave it, the machine rotates and carries it to the stall and leave it there, kinda like the one in Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, very cool. :-)
Nothing negative, but a few things to be aware of: The rooms facing the square can get a lot of noise from there, if you want to keep the window open, otherwise with the windows closed is well quiet. Apparently the walls were not so solid (neither was the room's door), because you can hear voices from the hallway, the adjacent rooms and the water running down through the pipes. The shower cabin in the bathroom was tiny, literally 80x80cm. Our room was also small (it said it was 16m², but that must be with the bathroom counted), however, it was very comfortable. The hotel's parking at CHF35/night was a bit steep (and is limited for car size, larger station wagons or SUVs may not fit). Bathrobes and slippers in the room would have been nice.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The location is unbeatable—right in the heart of Lugano and just a short walk to Piazza della Riforma, the charming Christmas markets, and the main shopping district. Being right next door to the funicular/cable car to the train station made arrival and departure incredibly easy.
The food was a highlight. Breakfast was incredible with a huge variety of continental and English options, including plenty of vegetarian choices. We also had a very good dinner at the restaurant. The hotel had a lovely festive vibe, but what truly stood out was the service. Every staff member was attentive, professional, and genuinely welcoming. Highly recommend!

Very clean and refreshing rooms and overall hotel. Hospitable, smiling and helpful staff. Good breakfast spread with tasty food. Superb location with lift for train station adjacent to it and hotel also provided free pass for local travel. Sight seeing places nearby. Overall We had a very good experience and I will surely stay here on my next visit.
Nothing to dislike. Just a small thing, that since we were staying in triple room with multiple beds, there was less space to move within the room. But the orientation was good.

The Lugano Dante is a favorite hotel in which I have stayed about six times. As far as I'm concerned, it is the "only" hotel in Lugano. When I arrived, I was warmly greeted with: "Welcome back, Mr. Bennett!" The desk clerk, Sebastian, said that he remembered me from my last visit which was in 2021. The hotel has a great breakfast, a friendly bar that promotes communication among guests and an excellent housekeeping staff. The location is in an historic square and at the bottom of a tram that connects the rail station at the top of the hill. A "two minute" commute. The Lugano Dante Hotel is really a very fine place to stay.
Absolutely nothing!

Excellent location with the town centre, parks and all public transportation within short walking distance including a 2 minute funicular connection starting practically at the doorstep of the hotel to the railway station which we didn't know about and had a taxi pick us up from the station for the short distance by road. Room was very well equipped with the required facilities and was comfortable. The breakfast spread and quality of food was quite good. The staff all around were friendly and efficient and took the time to tell us about the hotel facilities as well as how to navigate thru the town and reach important transportation points.
We wish the hotel would share about the funicular from the railway station to us in advance so that we wouldn't have to book a ride from the station. Similarly we came to know about the free Ticino voucher only on the 3rd day of our stay and the hotel staff helped in getting it for us. It would have saved us some transportation and sightseeing cost that we incurred on the first 2 days. It is true we were sent an email by the hotel on the Ticino vouchers a couple of days before check in but we were then in the midst of our Milan tour and we seem to have missed it. As a good practice the hotel should share this important information with the guest at the time of check in itself.
While the room was comfortable the heating not having started for the season made the room very cold at night with the outside temperature going down to 13C. The problem was solved with the hotel providing extra blankets but we wondered whether the heating facility for the season should not start earlier seeing the low night time temperatures.
We felt the hotel's food prices were on the higher side though compensated by large portion sizes. It didn't work for us as we are not heavy eaters and had ordered separate dishes whereas one shareable dish would have been enough. The quality of the food was however good.

There is only one place to stay in Lugano that is the LuganoDante. The staff and entire hotel are exceptional
and make your stay feel like home. It was my husband’s birthday which they must have picked up in his passport on check in. On the day they delivered a cake at breakfast with sparkler then when returning to room there was a balloon hand written card and gift this was done without any notification it was his birthday. Their on site restaurant and bar is outstanding. Thank you to everyone there you not only made my husband’s birthday special but also our very first trip to Switzerland. We will be back

One of best hotel I have ever been. Great location, everything is clean and in a great quality, the breakfast is amazing. The staff is very kind and welcoming. We had a great stay.
The hotel provided us missing information of the parking address and it took for us around 40
minutes until we found the correct place(we didn't have local sim so we had to do an expensive phone call to the hotel for helping us).

The girl on reception was really friendly Lucy I think was her name, she showed us around and took us to the building where we were staying. The house keeping staff were also very friendly.
Our bedroom was in a separate building away from hotel with lots of steps up, you had to go to main hotel for breakfast,
I found it difficult with all the steps and no hand rail for support. It would have been lovely to have stayed in main hotel.

very conveniently located, beautiful design, staff was very lovely, breakfast was excellent and the hotel bar was great
the hotel room bathroom only had a glass door with a big gap so you can hear everything that is going on in the bathroom - any other person in the room will probably wake up if you need to use the toilet during the night.

It’s convenient to the center of the town and unpretentious . It also was down to earth in the decor and overall a happy place . Dog was happy with his treats and mineral water. Thank you!
There was no creamer for the coffee in the frig or elsewhere in the room . Not everybody drinks their coffee black…

Very warm and friendly hotel, close to the railway station (just take the funicular down to the town, free with a public transport card, and you are on the hotel’s doorstep). Italian is the main language spoken, but staff all multilingual. Not a lot of space in the room around the bed, but lots of nice touches – a plant to clean the air, a personalized welcome letter on the bed, air conditioning (not usual in hotels we have stayed in) but openable windows as well. Best night's sleep and best breakfast in Switzerland so far! Easy walk everywhere in the town centre and to the lake. Plenty of restaurants nearby but you do need to book popular ones in advance.
Trying to work the shower without flooding the bathroom or scalding myself! Even following the written instructions, I found it really hard to turn the water on and to adjust the temperature.

The location is amazing. A few minutes walk from the train station ( u can use the cable car to get to it). We booked the family room. It was so spacious. I liked the room decoration, which was stylish and very elegant. We loved the floor finishing and the carpet touch. Also, the bed and pillows were so comfortable. The breakfast was fair and provided yummy pastries. 😋
The lobby has a smell.
