Okay hotel

Very warm room, the sound of the funicolare in the early morning.

9.0 / 10.0

good option for Lugano

Good Hotel at the bottom station of the "Furniculare". Cute reception lady, smooth checking and nice and calm room at the top floor. Breakfast was very good, plenty of choice, incl. fresh orange juice to squeeze :)

Nothing to add here. Was just staying one night, but will return.

5.0 / 10.0

Ok

Furnicular runs next to the room all day and night in this economy room. Booking.com should advise this

Highly recommend as per location and access to train station

Excellent hotel with an unbeatable location as per its closeness to downtown and free funicular to the train station. Rooms are quite good and breakfast was top notch. Very nice staff.

Excellent stay with great rooms and Sabrina’s wonderful service

We had a wonderful stay at Aquarillo Hotel in Lugano. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Sabrina, the receptionist, who was exceptionally kind and helpful. She provided us with all the information we needed and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. Our room was spacious, modern, and very well equipped. We required two separate beds, and it was simple to arrange them to our convenience. All of the hotel’s facilities were excellent and well maintained. Since we had to leave early in the morning, Sabrina thoughtfully prepared packed breakfasts for us to take on the way — a gesture we greatly appreciated. The hotel’s location is also excellent: reaching the railway station was easy with the nearby shuttle cabin, and there are many good restaurants within walking distance in the center of Lugano. Overall, Aquarillo Hotel exceeded our expectations, and a special thanks goes to Sabrina for her kindness and professionalism. Highly recommended!

had a great time and the staff was superb.

Staff was very friendly, remembered my birthday and provided a gift, accommodated my laundry request and in general made it a very comfortable stay. I will certainly stay there again on my next trip to Lugano.

5.0 / 10.0

Not recommended at all

The location is in the center. This is the only positive side of the hotel

The hotel is over rated. 3 star is too much for the facilities. The size of the room is too small and the bed is not comfortable. The AC is like disel engine in the room with too much noise that ll disturb your sleep every one hour will wake you up. The hotel was not designed with AC so they just introduced split unit ac which is very old and noisy. The wash basin is outside the toilet because no enough space for it in the small toilet. The shower area is very very small and restricted. There were mosquitoes in the room that disturbed me for full night. The breakfast is very basic. In summary will never think to return back to this hotel.

Excellent stay for cyclists

9.0 / 10.0

convenient stay for a night between train journeys

The location was excellent, right near the lower station of the Funicular down from the main station. Lots of restaurants/bars in the ara

The bathroom was cramped, having to walk through the corner of the folded shower doors to reach the toilet. Also difficult to make tea even with own teabags as only hot water was via pod coffee machine and small coffee cups.

9.0 / 10.0

Great hotel very handy for everything.

Excellent location just at the bottom of the funicular which is very handy if you arrive by train. Lovely greeting with chocolate and free local transport card. Breakfast was exceptional.

No issues

9.0 / 10.0

A perfect place in Lugano for a city breack stay. Near to the funicular arriving from rail station.

The location is perfect, close to the funicular arriving from rail station.

A little noisy, due to the funicular, but not so much disturbance.

10.0 / 10.0

Great location, great staff

The 'Welcome' chocolate block was a pleasant surprise and the staff were extremely accommodating. When my power adaptor didn't fit in the sockets, the front desk were very quick to loan me one.

The only thing that I can think of was that I was catching an early train and had to wait until breakfast was open, so had to rush a quick bowl of cereal and toast. But that's all, it was great 👍

9.0 / 10.0

Friendly staff, functional rooms and great breakfast

Located just around the corner of the Funicular and close to the train station. The hotel is a bit hidden, but inside it's a gem with friendly staff, functional rooms and great breakfast. I stayed there over Eastern and even found a chocolate bunny in my room. Thanks again for this nice surprise 🙏

Nothing really besides that the hotel is a bit hidden.

Funicular good and bad

The hotel is above the funicular from the train station. Easy to get there. The center of town. Very clean, big room. Good breakfast.

The hotel is above the funicular from the train station. Yes, it's also not a good thing. It start very early in the morning every few minutes and it was just outside the window. Small bathroom.

An improvement on previous visits.

This was a definite improvement on my previous visits. New staff members were friendly and helpful. The room was more spacious and reasonably appointed. Price was in acceptable relative to the fact that Lugano is an expensive location.

It’s a rustic hotel but it’s clean and with upgraded facilities in room. Spacious room for family.

It super convenient location from the Bahnhof and to the town area & lake. Like the fact that it’s just situated next to the funicular and it’s free with our Swiss Travel Pass! Save us a lot of time & effort.
