Excellent hotel in a good location near the station and bars and restaurants in Lugano città. Very easy to reach by car and the staff valet parked my car for me. My single room was spacious with an ultra modern en suite and a wonderful view over the city. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Really nice breakfast which I was able to enjoy on their terrace. Would definitely stay here again.

    Such a beautiful city on the side of the lake.

    Such a beautiful city on the side of the lake. It's so relaxing and a nice mix of Swiss efficiency and cleanliness with Italian charm and rustic. Lots of chances for walks and swimming and other things to do.

    So many shops and restaurants so nearby. No transportation needed. Funicular was great from train station to town center. Lake Lugano great view. Switzerland was not as expensive as everyone says. Free bus and train. Reasonable meal and drinks.

    The lake was absolutely stunning! No wonder moslims see this area as ‘heaven on earth’ as it surely is! It’s very very clean with beautiful expensive shops. Lugano itself isn’t cheap, similar to the south of France.

    We loved Lugano - it's a relatively small city so 1-2 days are enough to explore. We went over to Lake Como on the Italian side one day and that was a fun visit. The other day we took a boat to Morcote which is a BEAUTIFUL village I highly recommend visiting. Then we took a funicular up to Mont San Salvatore which was also a wonderful visit. Lastly, we spent some time in the Lugano city center walking to Parco Ciani and just shopping and hanging out. It's like a pretty, clean, less touristy version of Italy.

    It is so so beautiful here. I only had 24 hours, which felt too chaotic. You could really slow down and explore for much longer. Also, be prepared for pretty pricey food and drinks. Luckily, it was all delicious, but definitely on the more expensive side.

    We visited Lugano for the second time and chose to stay again at Hotel Admiral! The location in Lugano Paradiso is perfect, just a 3-minute walk to the lake and about 20 minutes on foot to the city centre. There's a bus stop right in front of the hotel, and public transport is included for free, which is a great bonus. The staff were very friendly, the rooms were clean and comfortable, and the bed was absolutely amazing! We also enjoyed the breakfast — lots of variety and everything was delicious.
