Reception area was spacious with seating areas indoors and outdoors. The huge breakfast room was well-laid out and had many various options, and it had very efficient staff. There are two elevators that are larger than some other European hotels. The room was spacious, very clean, and the bathroom, also. The only negatives for us were the lighting in the bathroom is not adequate for viewing yourself in the mirror. There is a magnifying mirror on the wall, but the light above the sink is poor. There is a hair dryer but it constantly shuts itself off after only a couple minutes. Then you have to wait until it will work again. Our refrigerator was inoperable, but we didn’t need it and reported it to the main desk. The reception staff was outstanding! They gave us so many directions and explanations and restaurant suggestions that they made our experience in Paradiso memorable.

Excellent! This is my favourite hotel in Paradiso, exceptional service & clean spacious rooms. They offer a very good breakfast buffet selection, much more choice than other Swiss hotels. There is secure underground parking, at additional cost. You are located very close to Lugano centre so it’s easy to walk to the lake from from the hotel. Definitely recommended!

This was a good hotel in a convenient location. The staff were quite friendly and helpful. For areas of improvement, the parking situation could be improved to reduce stress at check-in, being that the hotel requires you to make a separate request to get parking, even though the description says that parking is available (but it is not actually available unless you know that you have to make the separate request in advance because otherwise it is “full”). Luckily there was parking available in a separate parking structure just a short walk around the corner. Secondly, all of the pillows were miserably flat and uncomfortable in our room and also in our friends’ rooms.

The staff was great and informative. Breakfast buffet was really good and service staff was very accommodating. Our room was dated and past years renovations were poorly done. Multiple obvious plumping changes in the bathroom. The bathroom has experienced so much water damage that the flooring is very bowed. Some areas need better cleaning. Moldy calking and grout in bathroom. Indoor pool area however, was clean and well maintained.
