Colorado Hotel

by: Michael Chrisman Perfectly located near Lake Lugano and main rail & bus services for this marvellously family owned and run hotel. Great attention to detail by its proprietor Learco Bernasconi and wife along with desk administrator Leila who all keep it spotlessly clean and are always only too glad to please and recommend things without being overly fussy. Hotel offers free local transport voucher which also includes a number of discountable Lugano attractions. Attached bistro restaurant/pizzeria offers a menu which is frequently changed during the week to keep it fresh and interesting. Well and moderately price rooms which include breakfast offering a continental style spread. Overall- literally little if anything to complain of. Very much in the Swiss tradition of hotel management. For people looking for a well run 3-3.5 star accommodation.

The best pillows I've had in Switzerland, but that's about where it stops. As soon as I walked up, the building looked dated. Walking to the room the halls smelt weird. The paint was cracking on the walls in the room and the towels were starting to fray. Watch out for the shower. While it was warm and good water pressure, the step in and out was borderline dangerous. Staff were nice and friendly, and we did get an included bus pass, which would have been nice before arriving as the walk is about 10-15 with light luggage. Breakfast was ok, nothing special. Felt like it was bought from the supermarket. The room was clean, but felt old with the plastic chairs.

Stayed for two nights in a single room. The hotel seems kind of old-fashioned, but doesn't lack in anything. Buffet Breakfast was tasty. The staff is friendly. Location of the hotel is great, within walking distance of the station (800 m). Price is reasonable.

Geen temperatuur regelaar op de kamer. Airconditioning uitgeschakeld en bedden vies. De kamer was extreem heet, na dit aangegeven te hebben bij de receptie zeiden ze het raam open te zetten (het vriest buiten). Dit gedaan maar het bleef bloedheet. Nogmaals terug gegaan en gevraagd om een oplossing. Zelfs aangeboden om de kamer te annuleren en een nieuw hotel te vinden om 9 uur ‘s avonds, erg onvriendelijk personeel. Konden niks doen omdat ik via booking had geboekt, booking gebeld en toen zeiden ze dat de manager niet bereikbaar was (terwijl ze die net had gebeld). Opgestaan met knallende koppijn en gemaakt dat ik weg kwam. Aan een ieder: betaal een paar tientjes meer en neem een fatsoenlijk hotel. Zeker geen 3 sterren en t geld waard!
