Central Lugano
This was 2nd time to stay at this hotel and it was still as good as the 1st. It is nicely located to be able to get to any part of the city in 10-15 mins tops. Rooms are simple and nice. Clean private bathroom and the staff was eager to help, if needed. Nice large breakfast option if you like that to start your day.

Centrally located, close to bus lines. Dining room is large and airy. Menu is way out of date and cooking is disappointing. Self-serve breakfast excellent. Other meals very plain and drab.

Didn't disclose well enough that there will not be AC included unless you pay for an "AC" room. When looking at amenities, AC is included (but this apparently is just for the overall hotel, not your specific room).
