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!

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.

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.

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!

Room 5 is part of a one and a half diamond property with a 3 and a half diamond view of Lake Lugano.
Room was described as deluxe.
Expedia or some one should give us partial compensation.

No one to check in, breakfast (including eggs) were left out at dinner service, couldn’t pay for dinner as the eftpos was broken, no top sheet and duvet smelt of many different perfumes, hair in the bath of an already dirty bathroom.

Very basic
There’s only a bed and toilet in the room. Nothing else. No cups. In the toilet, packets of shampoo stuffed at the corner like no one care

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.

The room was not cleaned properly, no AC in this hot day, no fridge, very noisy at night because our room on the 3rd floor was actually right on the street level due to the site slope reason, cars passed by all night. And front desk only accept cash not credit card for my city tax, don’t know why

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.

Das Zimmer war sehr gross und man hatte viel platz. Jedoch was das Zimmer überhaupt nicht sauber. Im Badezimmer war es staubig und und es lagen überal Haare. Das Zimmer sah so aus als ich ein gecheckt habe. Das Ich habe das Personal darauf hingewiesen und nach 1 Tag wurde die hälfte vom Zimmer gesaugt. Die andere hälfte war immer noch staubig. Ansonsten war das Personal sehr nett und hilfsbereit.

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.

Super schneller Check in, auch vor 18:00 (Standard in diesem Hotel). Sauberes Zimmer und ein sehr bequemes Bett. Nostalgische Einrichtung passend zum altem Gebäude. Balkon mit See Sicht. Bushaltestelle gleich neben dem Hotel. Ich habe mich sehr wohl gefühlt.

Dårligt!!!
Ualmindeligt nedslidt værelse, som også var beskidt. Håndklæder slidte og lugtede surt.
Da der er ingen aircondition er, havde de sat en ventilator op, som var møgbeskidt. Det larmer også en del fra lastbiler, busser og motorcykler lige ude foran. Terrassen er fyldt med ukrudt og ikke engang fejet.
