6.0 / 10.0

It’s walkable, due to the slopes and stairs, should take the funicular or bus to hotel. Very old, limited supply. Our room is very small. Sink (in the room), toilet (with door) and bath area (with clear glass door) are separate. Space at end of bed not even big enough for a ck luggage to go through.

8.0 / 10.0

Great location! Very clean. Nothing fancy, but conveniently located and functional. Soap dispenser built into shower. Tub too small for a bath, but not a problem for us. High powered fan for hot days, no AC. Mattress ok for a couple of nights. Very friendly and helpful staff.

5.0 / 10.0

location is very good. 5 minutes from the lake, 9 minutes from the train, in the middle of many shops. Clean room and the fan was helpful. Overall very good and I would stay there again.

10.0 / 10.0

The property is dated, like you staying at your Europeans grandparents bathroom vibes. Which in itself is the experience when in Europe! Clean place, amazing spot for convenience without a car. The staff at desk are warming and welcoming!

6.0 / 10.0

The property is very tired and in need of work. The furnishings are cheap & the rooms need decorating. The bathroom was particularly small with bared wires on the hairdryer.

Nice hotel

6.0 / 10.0

Is a old hotel but with the necessary stuff to stay to sleep, I like the area because it was close to the lake, famous stores like Gucci,Prada,etc …also is in the middle of the town where you can find a lot of cafes to eat or others restaurants. It was nice to be there.

1.0 / 10.0

Worst check on ever and hotels.com no help at all they had overbooked the hotel and even though we had paid and confirmed reservations from nov last year. The receptionist was so rude saying he couldn’t help us stating he wasn’t going to put himself on a cross for us!! Told us to get a refund and go find ourselves a room. They did give us alternative accommodation so far out of town and three hrs after our arrival. As I said disgusting service i have never been spoken to in such a rude manner and no regard for us at all

4.0 / 10.0

The location was perfect. Our room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The downside was that the ceiling fan and lights in our room did not work, and the bedding was too small for the bed. The top sheet and comforter were not wide enough to cover two people.

6.0 / 10.0

Location is excellent and the manager was great to accommodate our request to change our room. The setup in this hotel was odd and two rooms had a sharing bathroom which was next to our room. Every time they used the bathroom we could hear the flushing and bathroom door. The second night the manager changed our room to different floor and we had a good night sleep.

3.0 / 10.0

8.0 / 10.0

Location is outstanding and is in the middle of the old town within 10walk from the train station and a block form Lake Lugano. The check-in staff were very friendly and very helpful whenever we had questions. One thing that could be improved is to respond to customer issues. Our shower head fell and broke. We reported the issue and it wasn’t fixed for two days before we left. We basically used a hose for shower for a couple of days. I believe this is something simple that could be fixed relatively fast and it didn’t make sense it wasn’t fixed before we left. I would stay here again for sure.

8.0 / 10.0

This is a perfect, basic, no frills hotel if you need a central location in Lugano.

8.0 / 10.0

Great location. Breakfast included which was just ok. The WiFi is free but the wifi can be a little slow. The walls are very thin and you can hear everything. The space is very small. No water given and the room was all little stuffy.

5.0 / 10.0

Great staff. Perfect central location.

2.0 / 10.0

Good location. A very small room. No view (a wall). No ac, but the fan was ok. Noice from the street on Saturday night. On Sunday morning at 8 and 10 worships in the church, you could hear it clearly into the room. No place other than expensive restaurants to buy snacks/food on a Sunday.

5.0 / 10.0

Great front desk team and hotel.

10.0 / 10.0

The employees at San Carlo were friendly and welcoming. They were very helpful and went above and beyond to help us navigate a town when we didn't speak the language.

4.0 / 10.0

All the furniture and overall condition of the facility is below average. There is no Air conditioner in the rooms. Lugano is generally quite warm during summer months, the two nights we stayed at the facility were miserable. Breakfast is below average and no available at the time that was told to us. They were setting up breakfast 30 minutes after the time we were told breakfast will be ready. Overall avoid this place if you can.

6.0 / 10.0

Be wary of the shared bathroom being hidden within the description

10.0 / 10.0

It is right in the center of the historic part of town. Easy walking to city buses. A block from the lake. A special surprise was a horn quartets performance next door at an old church that echoed throughout the neighborhood.

4.0 / 10.0

Very central and easy to go anywhere. The staff is nice. However, the room is so very hot. The two fans were not sufficient to keep the room cool. The room temperature remained over 80 degree throughout the night. The room amenities were very minimal, only one hot water kettle and nothing else. In this super hot day and night, we could not even keep some cold drinks around,
