Good facilities and practical location. The area was calm and quiet and moving around with the Ticino ticket was very easy and convenient (bus stop right around the corner). Good base for exploring Ticino, we did a lot of different trips during our stay (easy start by hopping on a bus right in from of the hotel). Short walk down to the waterfront with some restaurants, couple of supermarkets within a couple of minutes by foot. Starting the morning with a breakfast in the garden was a nice way to start the day (excellent breakfast buffet with plenty of choice, fresh fruit and local flavours). Friendly and helpful staff. During our stay, the hotel was fully booked but never felt busy or crowded, the atmosphere was very friendly and relaxed.

The location was fabulous! Close to train station, right on the water. Also close to the furnicular and cable car to access hiking trails and the mountains. Very nice breakfast included and they even went out of their way to provide gluten free bread due to my companion's allergy.

    Great location, and one of the few "budget" options in this area. There were many people checking in at the same time, but they were working really fast and making sure everyone gets their room as quick as possible. Great working team.
