The hotel room was spacious and cleverly designed, with a large tub and separate shower integrated into the room layout. The balcony offered a lovely view of the garden. However, the balcony itself was small, though the room was very clean and comfortable.
Rooms

The room was gigantic in a way, too large for just two of us, with a large tub and separate shower actually part of the room near the bed, and a sitting area plus a separate toilet/bidet/sink in another room, trying to make good use of the space. The balcony viewing the garden was small but very clean and comfy.

Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience for me. The rooms had a lingering odor that even opened windows couldn't eliminate, but they were quiet and boasted a lovely view of the park with a shared large terrace among three rooms. The service was impeccable, with the staff being exceptionally nice and helpful. The location was convenient, being close to the center and train station, featuring beautiful views of the lake. The dining was excellent, setting me up for the day, but it felt a bit monotonous after multiple days. Overall, a stay with its highs and lows.

The hotel's location is extremely convenient, just a brief walk from the train station, which can be covered in a few minutes. The proximity to Lugano train station, less than a 5-minute stroll away, is ideal for travelers relying on railway transport to explore both Italy and Switzerland. However, being near the train tracks could impact the tranquil ambiance for some visitors.
Rooms

The rooms have tiled floors that can produce noise when other guests move furniture, but the complimentary bottle of alcohol is a nice touch. The open bathtub and shower room, along with a separate toilet, offer convenience, although the space might feel a bit tight to navigate.
