Top Lugano City-Centre Hotel Reviews

Hotel Belvedere

10/10 Excellent

"Todo en general, la ubicación y sobre todo la atención de todo el personal que labora con ustedes !!"

Hotel Villa Flori

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was so beautiful and was located about 10 minutes from the city center of Como. The staff was so accommodating, helpful and sweet. They went above and beyond arranging transportation, booking reservations,, etc. The hotel restaurant was delicious and we loved having drinks in the evening at the lounge bar. Our room was quite spacious and was immaculate. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again if I ever come back and stay in Como."

Grand Hotel Menaggio

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is right on the lake and our room had a lake front balcony that provided stunning views of the lake and the mountains. The pool is a great amenity. The room was spacious and cheery. The staff that greets you is excellent. A shout out to Captain Roberto, who provides private lake tours by boat. My only negative is the restaurant. The dinner menu is very limited and the staff, while well meaning, was incompetent. Of 4 meals we had there, something went wrong with 3 of them, including sending back a steak that was ordered medium rare and was delivered well over done. It was replaced by a steak that was merely seared and uncooked. I should have sent that back as well. In other words, avoid the restaurant."

Hotel Funicolare

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and spacious. The view was like something out of a movie, amazing! Slightly disappointed to find out the restaurant was pizzas only but the pizza was nice. Breakfast was also a slight let down, not much hot food to offer there than hotdog sausages and eggs. There were no pastries left when we went up"

Hotel Como

10/10 Excellent

"I had a great stay on a solo weekend trip here. The room was super clean and comfortable, staff was friendly and helpful, breakfast was great and the rooftop pool and bar was perfect! It’s about a 20 minute, easy walk to the lake (I walk fast - might be a little more) and city center - which I found to be just right."

Hilton Lake Como

10/10 Excellent

"My whole family is very judgmental when it comes to hotels, its location, cleanness, and service. I can comfortably state that this hotel exceeded our expectations. Location was at a perfect spot. It was almost on the lake with great views and 10 min walk to the town centers. We loved the rooftop restaurant for its fun ambiance, food quality and service. Book without hesitation! Thank you"
