Hotel Pestalozzi made our trip! The breakfast is so convenient and good. Staff answered so many of our questions (posted mail, gave us recommendations and directions, etc.). It’s central to so many things, and we could see the lake from our room. Fantastic hotel!

It was ok, but not more. Feels more run down than it is. The House has Lots of charm, the rooms- not so. No duvet, just a thin blanket (with holes)it’s reasonable in Price and I liked the central Location. My verdict: it needs much more love and engagement. Staff at the reception was excellent. I will not go back.

Staff! Due to a landslide caused by heavy rains, our party of 4 was stuck in Milan with no way to get back to Lugano. Hotel staff arrange a taxi to pick us up and bring us back to the hotel when all transpiration options were overtaxed and expensive. The staff literally saved us from a very difficult circumstance.
