Grand Hotel Villa Castagnola

I like the location going to the hotel which i pass through the beautiful park . The hotel was sorrounded with lots of well choreograph plants and tress, beautiful balkon facing the lake.

Nothing , for me our 2 days stay was fantastic and relaxing, hotel staff were friendly, our room was huge, hotel lobby was great and cozy.

What a gorgeous property! Received an upgrade to a corner suite which was not only large but had spectacular lake views. Felt like royalty. Dined at Le Relais where both the food and service were excellent. The hotel is adjacent to a funicular and an easy walk to town. The staff are wonderful. A truly fantastic stay. Highly recommended!

Sehr gut

This is a beautiful property filled with antiques and artwork. The staff was helpful and friendly. The grounds are magnificent and the spa is luxurious. The food and drinks were delicious. We even got an upgrade to a fancy suite! Why, I don't know. The place to stay in Lugano.

Ubicación perfecta. Personal súper amable.

Colchón incómodo. Baño pequeño y anticuado. Desayuno básico por el precio que cobran.

Review of Grand Hotel Villa Castagnola – A Complete Disaster. If I could give this place a negative rating, I absolutely would. From the very first day, the experience was nothing short of shocking for a so-called 5-star hotel. On arrival, we went for breakfast and waited over an hour for a simple omelette that never arrived. During that time, not even a glass of water was offered. We had a tight schedule and eventually had to walk out. After complaining at reception, the waiter actually chased me down in the lobby, screaming at me in front of other guests, as if I had walked out on the bill. Utterly humiliating and completely unacceptable. The following day, after a long day of sightseeing, I returned to the hotel bar to share a very special moment with my wife. I had planned a surprise—telling her I would be renewing our vows and celebrating her 40th birthday with family in Cartagena, Colombia. She was overwhelmed with excitement, but in the middle of this intimate, emotional moment, the bartender told us to “keep our voices down” because the piano player was performing. The bar was empty. Imagine being told to quiet down while celebrating such an occasion. Truly disgraceful. Finally, to top it all off, on the last day I received my dry cleaning back and discovered that two very expensive pairs of pants had been ruined. They had been washed instead of dry cleaned. No apology. No accountability. No contact from management. DO NOT STAY HERE. Save yourself the disappointment!!

While the location and the service/staff are amazing, they gave us a room on first floor over the restaurant where the piano/mouse was annoying and the pets friendliness was also loud due to a dog constantly barking.

All around a great experience! Service was excellent and location very convenient.
