Guest Reviews
- Anna Gelsomina (6/5): - Persona cordiale
- Patricia (4/5): pas top - bon accueil, mais surprise c'est un bar. chambre à part le matelas confortable, le reste une catastrophe: sol cassé, un vieux bureau rafistolé, problème électrique sur interrupteur de la salle de bain, une seule prise, les murs camouflés par un papier autocollants de mauvais goût, tout datait et pas rénové ou très mal. pas eu accès pour le petit déjeuner car jour férié le lendemain de l'arrivée.
- Sedigheh (6/5): - It was very old and hot!
Maybe as a family, we booked a wrong one!
The owner, however, was very friendly!
- Susanne (8/5): - Passte gut für uns als günstige Unterkunft auf der Durchreise/Rückweg vom Campingurlaub. Leider haben wir die Lage (Nähe zum See) gar nicht ausgenutzt - kamen spät an und führen morgens weiter. Empfang war sehr nett, und der Besitzer (?) war sehr hilfsbereit auf meiner Frage nach einem Adapter für die Steckdosen, suchte und gab uns einen. Wir fanden die Unterkunft sauber, und die bereit gestellten Handtücher waren kuschelig und zahlreich, in verschiedenen Größen. Natürlich darf man zu dem Preis keinen Luxus erwarten, taten wir auch nicht. An manchen Stellen entsprach der Zustand nicht allen Anforderungen an Unfallsicherheit, wie herausstehende Schraubenenden im Bad oder ein etwas zu großer Abstand zwischen Bett und Wand auf dem Etagenbett oben. Es gab einen Ventilator und ein Fenster. Wir schliefen gut und waren zufrieden.
- Angela (4/5): - Above a pizza restaurant, cheap room. Quick check in and friendly staff. Room dark and dated, wi fi did not work, bathroom small and dirty but good shower. Area was fine in the day but felt unsafe at night. Room central and walking distance to the centre and lake.
- Friedrich (2/5): Horror - Unterkunft katastrophal Schimmel im Bad. Lichtschalter im Bad mit Tesafilm abgedeckt. Lautes rütteln an d Eingangstür um 4.00 Früh
- Li Chyn (2/5): - 床鋪不舒服
- Thomas (6/5): Lugano25 - Zustand des Hauses ,arg renovierungs bedürftig.
Die Betten eine Katastrophe.
Da es sehr warm war hatte es lediglich einen Ventilator im Zimmer.
Gemerkt hat man nix davon.
Die Hand und Duschtücher rochen komisch, wie abgstandenes Wasser.
Der einzige Lichtblick ist das Personal.
Sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.
Zur Begrüssung gab es ein kühles Getränk.
- Nicolaus (4/5): - Diese Lokalität dürfte meiner Meinung nach nicht vermietet werden. Sehr schlechter Zustand und dreckig.
- Karin (2/5): - Völlig heruntergewirtschaftet. Auf gar keinen Fall zu empfehlen. Das Personal hat sich bemüht, nützt dann aber auch nichts.
- Salvatore (6/5): Male, male!! - Da cancellare la Definizione di hotel.brave le persone.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Für eine Nacht kann man damit leben.
Würde aber def. nicht mehr hingehen.
- Umberto (4/5): - Camera fatiscente parete in perline di legno che separano separano il bagno
- Helmi (4/5): - The building is old, needs repair.
The room seems to be cleaned quickly.
The water pressure in the shower is low.
- Beatrice (8/5): - Sehr freundliche und grosszügige Gastgeber.
- Dominik (6/5): - Zimmer sind nicht schön und es hatte nur 1 Fenster
- Pietro (8/5): Einfach, preiswert, alles da, was erforderlich - Liebenswürdiger Empfang, sehr freundlicher Umgang mit mir als Gast
- Larry (6/5): - Expedia hotel picture is not the one of the actual hotel. Hotel is actually above a bar.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - The staffs are pretty nice, the room also consider as clean, but the facilities are old and some needs work. Be aware that the hotel does not have a sign “Hotel” per se, so you just get to “La Santa” restaurant, hotel staff will process in the restaurant, and all the rooms are above the restaurant. (We had some trouble to actually locating the hotel). Ultimately speaking, the price are good. (You get what you pay for). Last word, the food in restaurant is very good both in quality and quantity
- Randi (4/5): Horrible experience - The room was sold out, when we arrived.
So we had to find a new hotell outside the city.
Had to pay 5 times more.
Extremely dissapointed
- Pilar (8/5): - The staff was friendly and tried to communicate with us, but their English was very limited. The room was clean but a little bit old.Supermakert Coop very close which is so convenient
- Eveline (6/5): - Es wusste niemand, dass ich das Zimmer reserviert habe. Leider entsprach das Zimmer in vielen Kriterien nicht meiner Vorstellung von oreis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Das Badezimmer war zudem nicht gereinigt.
- Nathan (10/5): - It is what it is.
A room!
A safe room!
Close to the station
Pretty clean!
An all around great place for a bed and a place to call home a few nights.
- Simone (8/5): - Personale gentilissimo e disponibile, ambiente molto informale, stuttura un pò datata ma ordinata e pulita, cucina discreta. Nel complesso ottima per brevi soggiorni,e ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo.
- Christian (4/5): - Un hôtel qui a besoin d’une grosse rénovation
- Tim (10/5): - everything perfect
- Josef (6/5): La santa - War grenzwertig, veraltet
- Daniela (10/5): - Ottima soluzione per una breve visita a Lugano. La consiglio
- Joana (8/5): - Personnel très accueillant et serviable, nous avons pu laisser la voiture dans leur parking toute la journée sans soucis. La chambre est correct pour le prix, malgré le peu de pression dans le pommeau de douche et plusieurs fourmis dans la chambre.
- Luka (10/5): - I stayed here for one night and I definitely got my money's worth. The bathroom and shower were shared with other guests but they were really clean. The food was also great although a bit expensive. The room was a bit shoddy, but I'm not complaining; the beds were clean, towels were provided, the TV had plenty of channels, and I had a sink in the room which made it a very comfortable stay. If I go back to Lugano, I'll probably stay here again
- Henry (10/5): - Loved the place the worker was very nice to every one.
