San Carlo Garni

Location: close to the lake, in the old town which is very interesting, lively and active, restaurants and cafes all around, varies musical and cultural activities happening practically every evening and close by too. Staff very helpful when I had a little accident near the lake.

I don't think there was anything we didn't like.

The men at the reception were very helping and pleasant, sorry, I can't recall the names. The location is just great.

The hotel is in the peaceful, traffic-free, small streets of central Lugano, close to the lake, near the little railway up to the train station, with lots of shops & restaurants. It's a compact building; the entrance & reception are on the ground floor between two small shops, there's a breakfast room on the first floor, about 4-5 rooms each floor. Everything is clean & functional, the staff are friendly & helpful. Our family room had an innovative design with two double beds diagonally, with space to move around plus a separate corner area with shelves & storage space. From the hotel, using the free-of-charge public transport pass, it's easy to make day-trips around the lake, up the mountains, to nearby towns or simply to walk around the local area.
