Hotel Federale, hotel in Lugano

This family-owned hotel is centrally located just a short walk from Lugano town centre and its breathtaking lakeshore, and the famous Piazza Riforma with its many sidewalk cafés.

The location of Studios 1 and 3 is excellent - just down the steps from the Cathedral of Saint Lawrence (the bells start at 7:00 and stop at 20:00). They both have air conditioning. Very clean and quiet, with the exception of some street noise (people, no cars). Oil, salt, dishwashing liquid, dishwasher tablets, sponge and kitchen towels were provided. Staff were friendly and professional, especially when I locked my keys in the room and they had to come down and help! It is close to the station (5 minutes walk) but it's up a steep hill that is mostly ramp with some stairs.

    Take the cable cart to the top of the hill - St.

    Take the cable cart to the top of the hill - St. Salvatore and if you have good weather - there awaits you and this is not an exaggeration by any means - one of the most amazing views I have ever seen in my life. Also we took a boat ride along the lake, which without any discount is about 40CHF for 2 hours ride, which is also very nice. There is a half tax discount if you have it for Switzerland. Miniature museum is nice as well. Lugano over all I think will stay in my heart :)

    2 nights would have been sufficient for us. We took a day trip to Bellinzona and visited most of the popular attractions and had time to spare. We are not shoppers or people who like to hang out next to a pool and relax. If you are that type of person, the lake is beautiful and the shopping options are abundant.

    The staff and the owner of the hotel are very helpful and they upgrade the room once they know that the Wifi is not good in our reserved room. The location in Paradiso is highly appreciated. The location is very close to the train station. It saves time and money to go to different important places like Monte San Salvatore, Swissmanutour, lake toures,.... The room was comfortable with a perfect balcony but the pillows has to be less soft. When I will go back to lugano I will reserve again a room in this hotel.

    Lugano is expensive and not overly endowed with hotels so it was a pleasure to find this welcoming and reasonably priced hotel, not too far from town centre. We booked room with balcony which was lovely, side view of lake as described and south-facing. Station is walkable on arrival as is downhill - you get a travel pass in the price and the bus was very useful to and from town and back to the station. Staff very friendly and amusing.

    Excellent location. The hotel is located between Lugano and Morcote. It takes no more than 20 minutes to get to one or another town by bus. At the hotel you can get a free pass for all modes of transport (including the ferry) to move around the region. You can also get a ticket with discounts for visiting local museums. There is an Italian restaurant next to the hotel, but we didn't really like it.

Excellent lighting, but a bit difficult to figure out. Ample closet space. Very functional bathroom. Breakfast delicious. Pool fantastic, with plenty of chairs and beds, towel service, and a great bar. Easy parking.

Breakfast was excellent, and the position of the hotel is perhaps the best in Lugano, the view from the room and the breakfast area is wonderful. I hope the family will continue to maintain this historic and delightful hotel.
