Great location. Breakfast is overpriced for the limited choices (especially no warm food except eggs). Room is clean but the shower room is way too small. Can’t even bend down freely. Descent for a short stay cos of the location.

Wir hatten einen rundum hervorragenden Aufenthalt. Vom ersten Moment an haben wir uns wohlgefühlt, alles war sauber, gepflegt und liebevoll gestaltet. Besonders erwähnenswert ist der Service von Giacomo: aussergewöhnlich aufmerksam, herzlich und stets hilfsbereit. Dank seiner freundlichen Art hat er unserem Aufenthalt das gewisse Extra verliehen. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder und können das Hotel absolut empfehlen.

Bonne adresse en face des gares FART/CFF

Petit hôtel placé en face des gares (FART et CFF), hyper pratique pour le Festival Moon&Stars qui a lieu a quelques pas. Air conditionné dans la chambre, facile à gérer et à éteindre. Un peu bruyant, mais très efficace. Joli petit-déjeuner, sucré et salé. Personnel vraiment sympatique et aidant. Pour info : salle d'eau fermée par une porte, mais pas de cloison au-dessus. Aucune intimité.

Hôtel extrêmement bien situé

Hôtel très bien soigné à proximité de la gare (hyper pratique avec le Ticino Ticket), à 5 mn à pied de la Piazza Grande, proches des restaurants et commerces. Le petit déjeuner est simple mais varié, très suffisant, sucré comme salé. La machine à cafés ou thés est à la disponibilité des clients 24h sur 24h. Personnel très sympathique, Giacomo est toujours très souriant et avenant. Hôtel à recommander fortement
