Okay, first things first: you get what you pay for. This was a cheap option to stay in Lugano, and the location was amazing. I wouldn’t expect a 5 star resort for the money we paid. However, the room was dirty (think actual stuff and dirt under the bed, a sticky spot on the floor and cobwebs and dirt on the balcony) and was only cleaned a bit better when this was pointed out, the bed terribly uncomfortable and LOUD (if my wife moved a muscle, I was sure to know) and the whole place had a feeling of being abandoned. Felt very understaffed, and even though the two people we did get to see were super friendly and as helpful as they could be, they did feel overwhelmed. We stayed for four nights, didn’t have the breakfast or eat at the restaurant since it simply felt abandoned and empty, and spent as much time as possible outside of the hotel. Best price we could’ve gotten in Lugano, but I don’t it’ll survive much longer if the basic standard doesn’t improve.

Lovely Stay!

We had a great stay at Hotel Firenze Lugano! The receptionist was so sweet and welcoming, which set a really nice tone for our visit. The location was perfect for us — we walked the Olive Trail to Gandria right from the hotel, and it was a beautiful and manageable distance. We also ate at the onsite restaurant and really enjoyed it — the food was lovely and the atmosphere was relaxed. While there’s no dedicated parking, we were able to find parking nearby without too much trouble. Overall, it was a very nice stay, and the view from the hotel made it even more special. Would happily stay here again!

The service was excellent and we had a superb evening meal. We could walk to the lake, and there is an efficient bus service from just around the corner into town (and station). The disadvantage was the main road itself, which was noisy if you have the window open.

Lucca and Lulu went over and beyond to make our stay extra special. Lucca offered to give us a ride to the airport at the last minute when we asked for help since we cannot book an Uber. We arrived at the train station just in time to catch our train to Malpensa airport. Excellent customer service.

Luca was really nice when I arrived and helped me giving the right instructions to navigate around the city. The hotel is located in a nice area, it’s clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. The only downside about this hotel is the breakfast: expensive, with little options, the cereal was old, no fresh food, fruits. Disappointed!

Evening staff less than helpful although morning staff was friendly and helpful. Bedding was old and of poor quality and questionably clean. Towels were more like rags. Location was quite a bit from the center of town but a bus stop was close. Hardly a view of the lake due to over-grown trees and shrubs. I definitely would NOT stay here again.

Die Lage zur Stadt und Busverbindung perfekt. Hotel ist von Hauptstrasse umgeben, sehr laut. Abends lief immer dasselbe Lied im Restaurant unter dem Fenster...etwas nervig. Während meines Aufenthalts (3 Nächte) wurde das Zimmer nie aufgeräumt. Nach der Dusche stand das Bad unter Wasser. Die junge Frau war zwar sehr freundlich, aber irgendwie fehlt die Beziehung zum Betrieb. Ich komme wieder nach Lugano, aber in eine andere Unterkunft.

Não vale a pena!

O hotel parece um pouco abandonado, as instalações são antigas, não tem recepção o dia todo, chegamos a tarde e nao tinha ninguem para nos receber, tivemos que ligar e entrar sem ninguem no quarto. A roupa de cama é antiga e o quarto tb. Pagamos pelo café da manhã, mas mesmo assim, não foi muito bom, faltavam coisas na mesa, coisas simples como pão. Fomos bem atendidos pelo Lucca, que deixou nossas malas na recepção depois do check-out. Ele fica proximo ao ponto de onibus, o que facilita a ida ate os pontos turisticos de Lugano.
