pas top

bon accueil, mais surprise c'est un bar. chambre à part le matelas confortable, le reste une catastrophe: sol cassé, un vieux bureau rafistolé, problème électrique sur interrupteur de la salle de bain, une seule prise, les murs camouflés par un papier autocollants de mauvais goût, tout datait et pas rénové ou très mal. pas eu accès pour le petit déjeuner car jour férié le lendemain de l'arrivée.

Diese Lokalität dürfte meiner Meinung nach nicht vermietet werden. Sehr schlechter Zustand und dreckig.

It is what it is. A room! A safe room! Close to the station Pretty clean! An all around great place for a bed and a place to call home a few nights.

The building is old, needs repair. The room seems to be cleaned quickly. The water pressure in the shower is low.

Völlig heruntergewirtschaftet. Auf gar keinen Fall zu empfehlen. Das Personal hat sich bemüht, nützt dann aber auch nichts.

Zustand des Hauses ,arg renovierungs bedürftig. Die Betten eine Katastrophe. Da es sehr warm war hatte es lediglich einen Ventilator im Zimmer. Gemerkt hat man nix davon. Die Hand und Duschtücher rochen komisch, wie abgstandenes Wasser. Der einzige Lichtblick ist das Personal. Sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Zur Begrüssung gab es ein kühles Getränk.

8/10 Very good

The staff was friendly and tried to communicate with us, but their English was very limited. The room was clean but a little bit old.Supermakert Coop very close which is so convenient
Pilar, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I stayed here for one night and I definitely got my money's worth. The bathroom and shower were shared with other guests but they were really clean. The food was also great although a bit expensive. The room was a bit shoddy, but I'm not complaining; the beds were clean, towels were provided, the TV had plenty of channels, and I had a sink in the room which made it a very comfortable stay. If I go back to Lugano, I'll probably stay here again

War grenzwertig, veraltet
Josef, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

The staffs are pretty nice, the room also consider as clean, but the facilities are old and some needs work. Be aware that the hotel does not have a sign “Hotel” per se, so you just get to “La Santa” restaurant, hotel staff will process in the restaurant, and all the rooms are above the restaurant. (We had some trouble to actually locating the hotel). Ultimately speaking, the price are good. (You get what you pay for). Last word, the food in restaurant is very good both in quality and quantity

Es wusste niemand, dass ich das Zimmer reserviert habe. Leider entsprach das Zimmer in vielen Kriterien nicht meiner Vorstellung von oreis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Das Badezimmer war zudem nicht gereinigt.
