Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The staffs are pretty nice, the room also consider as clean, but the facilities are old and some needs work. Be aware that the hotel does not have a sign “Hotel” per se, so you just get to “La Santa” restaurant, hotel staff will process in the restaurant, and all the rooms are above the restaurant. (We had some trouble to actually locating the hotel). Ultimately speaking, the price are good. (You get what you pay for). Last word, the food in restaurant is very good both in quality and quantity

I stayed here for one night and I definitely got my money's worth. The bathroom and shower were shared with other guests but they were really clean. The food was also great although a bit expensive. The room was a bit shoddy, but I'm not complaining; the beds were clean, towels were provided, the TV had plenty of channels, and I had a sink in the room which made it a very comfortable stay. If I go back to Lugano, I'll probably stay here again

Es wusste niemand, dass ich das Zimmer reserviert habe. Leider entsprach das Zimmer in vielen Kriterien nicht meiner Vorstellung von oreis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Das Badezimmer war zudem nicht gereinigt.

Personnel très accueillant et serviable, nous avons pu laisser la voiture dans leur parking toute la journée sans soucis. La chambre est correct pour le prix, malgré le peu de pression dans le pommeau de douche et plusieurs fourmis dans la chambre.
