GuestHouse Lugano Center by LR, hotel in Lugano

Located 2.1 km from Exhibition Center Lugano, GuestHouse Lugano Center by LR is a guest house in Lugano that boasts a shared lounge. This guest house offers a concierge service.

This property really ideal, it's so close to the lake about 5 mins walk and only 15 mins walk to the centre. They are also close to the train station and main bus routes. The staff were so helpful and friendly , the room were clean and just what we needed, you see alot of bad reviews - but I'd completely disagree with these. Also they offer a free travel pass which includes discounts , I made the most of this and saved lots on transport, would recommend doing this if your staying here. I also used the washing machine and dryer which were free to use and the power was also provided, irons are also available to use. Great stay. Thanks to those members of staff for being so helpful!

    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.

    Excellent location high above Lake Lugano with views towards and of the lake. Very friendly and welcoming staff in the hotel and restaurant. Comfortable, good-sized room, very comfortable bed. Very clean throughout. The restaurant is excellent - great food, very helpful and friendly staff. There is a lovely terrace overlooking the lake. It is very easy to park at the hotel and we had no concerns about safety. If you are passing through as we were, there is no need to change any money into Swiss francs, as the hotel and restaurant accept cards.

    We were surprised by how big the room was! We didn’t realize it was basically a 2 bdrm/ 2 bathroom place. It was huge! We also loved the view!! The view is what made us choose Hotel Colibri. The pool area was also really nice! It was a little too cold for our girls to take a dip but I’m sure it would’ve warmed up by the afternoon. The bus stop is right out front and the bus comes often! It was an easy 15 min. ride into Lugano. So worth it to stay up here for the view and it’s also nice and quiet in this area vs Lugano.

    Really nice hotel if you are planning a stay in Lugano. The rooms are just the right size and come with a large balcony and nice little touches. The breakfast was really good and the staff super nice. Cody beds and nice bathrooms The location is great, just a few metres from the Lakeshore and the funicular to one of the mountains. In case you are getting into Lugano by train, there is a frequent bus from the station, but the walk through the city is also not really far.

    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.

    The warmth of the staff is exceeded only by the quiet, clean, comfort and beautiful location. We got in late and the lovely staff in the restaurant stayed open and ensured we were fed. We then walked from the hotel to the nearby park to see the lake within 2 minutes. A very cozy sleep and super convenient for train travelers needing a stop in Lugano or folks visiting longer!
