Top University of Lugano Hotel Reviews

Continental Parkhotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, great staff, great hotel! No complaints, we had a wonderful stay with a beautiful view :)"

VISIONAPARTMENTS Lugano

8/10 Good

"We were sent a code for the property via a WhatsApp chat and check in was very easy. It was a short walk from the train station and we could walk to the lake, funicular and olive grove walk so the location was excellent. The apartment was very compact so I would check the floor space before booking. There were no dishwasher tablets or coffee grounds for the machine but these can be bought downstairs. For a short stay it would be good to have at least one dishwasher tablet as most shops are closed on Sunday. There is a USB wall charger but this didn’t work, we used the WhatsApp to ask for advice on finding a local shop to buy Swiss phone chargers but never got a reply. The WhatsApp was updated with checkout details on our last day, so obviously not a two way communication."
