Hotel Federale, hotel in Lugano

This family-owned hotel is centrally located just a short walk from Lugano town centre and its breathtaking lakeshore, and the famous Piazza Riforma with its many sidewalk cafés.

Excellent location (just a short walk down the hill from the train station), wonderful staff, delicious breakfast! We enjoyed our stay very much! The beds were comfortable, there was plenty of food to chose from during breakfast and we received answers to all the questions we had. The hotel has its own history which we found very interesting to see in all the pictures that were up on the walls.

Room was fine. Helpful staff. Had a good dinner in the restaurant. Nice walk down and along the lake to the heart of town. Ticino Ticket and buses and trains (and SBB app) made moving around pretty easy. Lake Lugano and the town / surrounding area in general extremely photogenic.

    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.

    Lugano is an exceptional peaceful small city where you can enjoy the best views of the lake. Much better place to be compared to Como the busy crowded city. We totally loved this city and all the things that offers from good food and pleasant historic buildings as well as friendly people.

    Everything within walking distance or short bus/train/funicular away. Great beach, amazing scenery. Lots of great restaurants. So Many points of interest to see, we unfortunately didn’t have time to do it all, but we enjoyed taking the funicular to Monte Bre, boat excursion to Melide, train to Bellizone to see the castles… Guess we’ll need to come back to see the rest!

    We were visiting our daughter at the Montarina, it was very convenient and close to everything. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Our room had a beautiful view of the the gardens, pool and a glimpse of the lake - all very pretty. Breakfast was included, it was a very diverse and full meal. The building itself is 150 years old, everything has been modernized and is as good as could be expected It’s not a 5 star hotel, but the service, staff and amenities are a very good and comfortable value

Very easy to walk to any where as the hotel location is in the city center. Walking to the Lugano lake is about five minutes. Breakfast was good quality and variety. All staff i contact with were so friendly.

    The hotel was OK but we just felt that overall it was not great value for money. We know it was Switzerland and in an expensive city but we have stayed in ones that are better but cheaper. We ate in the restaurant at night and this along with the breakfast was fine. We cannot fault the staff, both at reception and in the restaurant. They could not have been more helpful.

    Our stay at this hotel was PERFECT. It was our first time visiting Switzerland (Lugano). It was a special occasion as it was my birthday. Our room was on the 4th floor, we had a balcony with front lake view and it was so worth it. The staff were very kind, friendly and helpful. The location was great. We enjoyed our stay and we will definitely want to come back again.

    Close to Lugano train station, friendly welcome. Payment is made at check-in so check-out just involves leaving the room key. Bed comfortable and larger than a normal single bed, hot water available any time of day. Very reasonable price for a hotel in Switzerland but don't expect more than the basics.
