My husband and I spent 9 nights in this wonderful old hotel-we upgraded to a front room with lake views- we were on the 4th floor with 2 balconies and the views were stunning. The hotel is very elegant with very clean and comfortable furnishings, a lovely bar on the first floor- and free Internet access-always a bonus! The breakfasts... More

Highly recommend this hotel for it's great location and reasonable rates. The breakfast is fantastic and the bar is very nice for either inside or a balcony drink with free wi/fi at the bar. I would return to this hotel again when in Lugano.

This very old hotel is not really on the lake, it is a full block back and separated from the water by a busy and rather noisy road (which quietened right down come sleep time, thank heavens) and by a recycling 'depot'. Our room, 337, did have a lake view, but as the hotel is partly built out on the... More

We were so impressed with this hotel on our first visit that when we decided to go back to Lugano we went back there. The hotel is well placed next to the lake and close to shops. Nothing has changed the staff are exceedingly helpful. The rooms are spacious and kept beautifully clean. We went half board so ate in... More

A modern hotel with good facilities and lovely bathroom! Nice size room. Reasonably friendly staff. Internet surfers note that free wi fi is available but has very poor coverage - it did not work in our room. It is some distance from the station (if thats important to you) - we took a taxi but you could use the furnicular... More

Well situated hotel by the lake with charming garden and pool. I believe the hotel has been run by the same family for many years. Courteous staff and well appointed rooms Lovely traditional bar with an impressive range of cocktails and free wifi. Small charge for wifi in your room.

We were very much impressed with Hotel International au Lac in Lugano. Its location in the city is perfect, just across the street from a pedestrian walk along the shore of beautiful lake Lugano, and close to a variety of shopping areas and restaurants. We arrived early afternoon, and were greeted enthusiastically with a smile and a welcome. The lobby... More

This is an older hotel, just across the street from the Lake Lugano. The cable car takes you from the train station to the city center and from there it's a 5-minutes walk to the hotel. Otherwise it's a 20 euro cab ride. We were greeted by friendly staff in reception, and shown to rooms that were large and clean,... More

The hotel location is the best, near the waterfront, in the beginning of the pedestrian shopping street of the city, going straight to the center, a five minute walk. It is situated near the medieval church Chiesa degli Angioli with beautiful frescoes. The busy road that runs along the lake near the hotel did not disturbe us because it is... More

Courtyard room quiet ,rather dark with air con. No fridge or kettle though. Bathroom excellent with bath tub,foot cleaner, hairdryer,soaps etc. Hotel worth a look around. Nice pool, with some views of lake, bar really nice with classic look with balcony. Walks to mont salvador easy along waterfront then furnicular. Overall, pleasant experience with serene views of lake.
