We really enjoyed Walter Au Lac! It is very centrally located in Lugano and makes everything very walkable. Would recommend!

5.0 / 10.0

Absolutely loved our stay! Very clean, air conditioning worked well, and the view was spectacular! Great restaurants, a beach and other things nearby. Highly recommend and would return to this hotel if we find ourselves in the area again!

4.0 / 10.0

Well located - nice room with balcony - I missed having a bar and restaurant. The service at breakfast was fantastic - could have done with similar at other meal times

4.0 / 10.0

Excellent location with an amazing view of the Lake from our balcony. A few steps away from the old town for shopping and restaurants. Friendly and efficient staff, with immediate response to additional amenities. Highly recommended.

5.0 / 10.0

We loved our stay at this hotel. The view was amazing and it was perfectly located for our needs. The hotel does not have parking as listed however, so if you are driving keep that in mind

6.0 / 10.0

A great location with a 10/10 view of the lake. I would say earplugs are essential even if you consider yourself to be quite a deep sleeper. I now understand why they were available for free at the reception. Also, bring a pair of slippers. A good choice for a short stay and the free breakfast was of a reasonable standard, but had very limited options for those with specific dietary requirements.

5.0 / 10.0

The staff is very pleasant and kind. The view to the lake is breathtaking.

5.0 / 10.0

We enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The room was an ok size and the balcony overlooking the lake was amazing. The breakfast was lovely, also overlooking the lake. We utilised the rooftop terrace for sunset drinks. The only thing we didn’t like was the shower. It is dangerously narrow and very slippery.

10.0 / 10.0

Nice lake front view and quiet room even on the main st. Tons of restaurant/cafe easy walk.

6.0 / 10.0

Great view, but pretty basic otherwise. A bit overpriced.

10.0 / 10.0

First time stay in refurbished room so accommodation was excellent. Parking was safe though a short walk away. Location of the hotel on the lake is perfect.

8.0 / 10.0

The balcony view of the lake and promenade was outstanding! The hotel is easily accessible from the Lugano train station - a short 3 minute walk from the Funicular that goes down from the Lugano train station. (Wish we had known that when we arrived 😉) Ask the hotel for the Ticino pass and it allows you to use the Funicular and buses for free. The room was spacious and clean and the breakfast was very nice! We enjoyed our stay in Lugano!

5.0 / 10.0

The Walter Hotel is the Perfect Hotel!! You cannot beat the location ! Just a few minutes from the furnucular, taxi stop and cross walk in front of the hotel entrance. Outstanding Spaghetti Store restaurant next door. I got lucky when I found this hotel!!

10.0 / 10.0

Great view and clean

5.0 / 10.0

Room was large and airy, view from small balcony was beautiful over the lake, worth the extra for a room with a view. We used the free Ticino card the hotel give, to take the funicular up to Mount Bré. Breakfast was pleasant although coffee was not very nice. Not sure why there were peas & carrots on offer at breakfast never seen this before is it a Swiss thing?? Bar underneath the hotel was good. Unfortunately we had rain so didn’t go to the sundeck.

10.0 / 10.0

Super

8.0 / 10.0

The quirkiness of this old building is fantastic and although it was a very small room it served its purpose. The only reason for just four stars is the AC will not go lower than 22 Celsius which is not suitable for sleeping. Luckily you can open a window but then you have noise and smoking scent from outside. My room had neighboring balconies very close to the window (which could not be locked in a non-entry position).

5.0 / 10.0

This hotel was a one night stay for us between Switzerland and Lake Como after a day on the panoramic train. What a treat!!

10.0 / 10.0

Good hotel on the lake

10.0 / 10.0

This was a perfect location for our family. The boat that the transport around the lake was in front of hotel. Winter market and restaurants close by and varied. The hotel itself and our room was well designed for our family vacation. The hotel breakfast was great. I suggest that you stay at this hotel on your holiday. Thank you Walter au Lac

Premium room with Balcony. Great location and views, but that’s about all. Nice enough B&B (not really a hotel). £250 per night would be £80 if not for view. 2 sleepless nights due to basic bedding…. slatted bed frame with a 10cm mattress which was harder than the floor. Style but no substance sadly. Other than a coffee machine in room, I could see no Premium additions?

Great location, not far from train station and within main Lugano attractions. Historic hotel, size of rooms convenient and high ceilings, great views of Lake Lugano. Generally clean room apart from cobweb/dust on ceiling light - not entirely soundproofed: can hear bathrooms from rooms next door and sounds from kitchen via air vents in bathroom. Good breakfast selection - no restaurant onsite but within area offering many options for meals. Helpful and friendly staff.
