Good location by a bus stop. Beds in one area, small kitchenette area, and bathroom. All of the essentials. The air conditioning could have been better, but if you’re on a higher floor where you can open a window it probably would have been fine. Our first level room was right against the outside sidewalk.

Great hotel in between Lugano and Paradiso that is easily walkable to both. Parking in the area is a bit tricky but we opted to pay for the hotel's parking and just walk around during our stay. The staff were really friendly and helpful. Room was spacious enough with comfortable beds and a decent size bathroom. The mini fridge was also quite large and came in super handy to keep our food cool which we purchased from a nearby grocery store. Only thing I wished was different would be to include some basic amenities in the kitchen like cutlery and a coffee machine with pods (i.e. Nespresso or other). We weren't planning to cook any food but would've been nice to have a coffee in the morning and be able to eat some snacks from the store without needing to rely on our own disposable cutlery.

The location is very nice. It’s right across the bus stop. The best part about this hotel is the free laundry, we really really like that. The front desk they were helpful. They allow you to leave your luggage which I like a lot. What we absolutely hate is that there’s no coffee not even simple coffee. You have to pay for coffee downstairs from a vending machine. This is for me ridiculous coffee is basic necessity at any hotel. I also hate the fact that the AC unit is so old that it really didn’t work very well. It was so difficult to sleep at night. It wasn’t cold enough. The guy was very helpful. He came to help us reset it but it just was a very antiquated AC unit and they should really replace that.
