    Hotel Internazionale - The standard queen room is tiny - barely enough room for a bed and a suitcase.

    Hotel Internazionale

    The staff are very friendly and speak multiple languages (including English which was very helpful…read morefor me). The standard queen room is extremely small and the shower is absurdly small. Taking a shower in the shower stall was like trying to was inside a cramped phone booth. They didn't provide any wash rags, so you end up using a lot of the shower gel from the dispenser for a single shower. Because there is so little room to maneuver, the shower gel washes away before you can do much scrubbing! Pretty typical Euro-style basic room I suppose. The location of the hotel is outstanding... just across the street from the train station and walkable to a lot of neat shops and restaurants! Castlegrande is just two blocks around the corner, a really fun walk!

    Parco - Cuban bar

It may be a bit isolated, but panoramic views typically require such logistics. But that shouldn't matter. There are several restaurant choices inside. The Havana Deck is a great bar/lounge. There are outdoor spaces to dine and relax. A few things to note, you will pay a fairly high price for this experience. It's a 38 Franc cheeseburger. Is the cheeseburger worth 38 Franc's? Also, no, it's good, it's delicious, it's pretty overpriced. As of the writing of this review, 38 Francs is about $48 USD. But breakfast is included in your stay so, assume you would have paid half of that for breakfast and we're back to even. I've stayed at the Parco 4 or 5 times now. I know the secret pathway from the Paradisio train station up to hotel - this is a must to know if you're traveling by train. Otherwise, you have a long, winding walk to the train station. Go down the the lowest level, hand a left out the stairs, and then exit into a cement stairwell. Walk up that short flight, then walk along the cement sidewalk and slippery wet steps until you can see the train station. Do not fail to take this advice. Walking on the street is a 20-minute effort, the path is 3-minutes max. Sometimes in the morning, on a weekday around 7am, when a large number of guests are getting ready for their workday, the shower will slightly fluctuate from the perfect temperature to slightly too hot, then slightly too cold. But the water pressure is amazing, the towels are always fresh and hung right by the shower, and a quick chill is something people have experienced in Switzerland for quite some time.

    Absolutely amazing & sweet hotel! We celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary and I am so glad we…read morechoose this hotel. The service was impeccable and attentive. Very good location. 1 stop from the Lugano Center by bus or train. It comes every 15 minutes, we never waited longer. Also you can have a short walk to the funicular that goes to Mount Salvatore ( for that one you have to pay even with Ticino card). First of all - if you come with big luggage like us - take taxi! One can't rely on public transport because you will have to climb the stairs (approx. 10 floors) and then you come trough the back of hotel were you don't have access without a room key. Our room wasn't ready when we arrived so we went to town and when we came back from the back door we didn't had key and intercom didn't work either. Had to call hotel with a cellphone to open door for us. Rooms are very clean and spacious. We got upgraded to the suit and we had nice panoramic lake of Lugano view. But one can't enjoy patio too much because mosquitos are very brutal there. When we got to our room we had complementary bottle of champagne and greeting card. It was so sweet and welcoming. Our suite room had a complementary coffee and tea. But however water wasn't included. First evening we ran out of water and we went to get water and receptionist sent us to the hotel bar at Cuban place where they sold us Fiji water bottle for 10 francs!! While I discovered later there was a water in mini bar ( inside of the fridge) at the hotel room for half a price. Its funny because when we came to the receptionist the guy ask the same question and she sent both of us to the bar. It kind of disappointed me because 10 franc for water its more than we paid at Michelin Star Restaurant. Also they have water jar in the lobby but only during day time! Next day I just went to refill my bottle there. Hotel has good premises - I enjoyed my time at the pool, sauna and steam room. They also have small gym as well. And few restaurants. cuban bar was very nice with little options for snacks which was perfect because we didn't want to have a big meal that was at main restaurant. Cuban bar has a very nice view of Lugano and great cocktails. We spent there at least 3 evenings enjoying a great view. I highly recommend their salmon gravlax and tartar both were amazing. Also we tried their tasty burgers and they were nice to split it for us. We didn't had breakfast included but last day we were leaving for Milan and decided to take a breakfast which was 35 franc per person. I think it's very expensive for very simple buffet style breakfast. We just had an omelet and coffee each. Another bonus was Ticino card - ASK FOR IT!!! We didn't had to pay for for public transport in Ticino area and we went to Fox town, Lugano center, and funiculars for free! In general - good hotel and decent price with nice pool and restaurants on site. Nice steam room & sauna to relax. And very attentive service. They even left us complementary Swiss dessert day before we check-out to thank us for choosing them. I highly recommend this place and we will definitely consider when we come back!
