斯塔比奧SRI Sivasubramaniya Swamy Temple附近酒店

From 30 - 31 Oct 2021 we stayed in this hotel 1min walk from Mendrisio Train station and 1min walk from Fox Town Outlet Shopping. As we traveled during the Corona Pandemic, we went for outlet shopping to Fox Town, the hotel is nothing special but was good for a 1 night stay. Summary: The bed was comfortable and we slept good, however movable, no choice of pillows offered. The bathroom was good, the shower beam was great, from both the rain-shower and the hand-shower. The numbers: -Price/Quality: 3*** of 5***** (155/$ per 1 nights + 17$ city tax per person = 35$ (translated from 30.= CHF) -Price: $$$1/2 of $$$$$ -Quality: 2.5*** of 5 -Service at Reception: 3*** of 5 -Service Overall: 3*** of 5 -Services Breakfast: the choice isn’t varied. It was a very basic breakfast, they could have easily made a personal breakfast service they had plenty personal, also any additions where $$$$$ [french toast 10$, pancakes 13$]. -Wheelchair Accessible: 4**** (elevator) -Overall rating: rather 2.5** then 3***, disappointing mostly was the breakfast and the restaurant aside had no ambiance we didn’t go there but went to Il Fortuna 350m walk (other side of train station), room was good size, good decent bathroom and shower (fit 2 persons), low quality TV (outdated), pool was in renovation we think, looked abandoned. Hotel looked very outdated but rooms semi modernized. Restaurant We didn’t use looked “dead” no ambiance, we went to another restaurant that was recommended by Google maps (see above). Breakfast was between 06:30 and 10:00 - limited time, choices were limited and of low quality, we even saw supermarket brand yogurts served. Cold-cuts were only pork, no salmon and turkey so if you were vegetarian or a non-pork eater you would be left with little choices... Room Our room was 623 on the 6th floor, there is only one elevator and the floors 1-5 seem not to exist. The bed was comfortable, 200cm by 100cm - 2 beds could be moved together to form one. The room was a good size and we slept well. The room had a chair and a work desk. Plenty of power-outlets (next to the TV wall, on the side). The room had no coffee machine and no separate water kettle (boiler). Bathroom The bathroom was of decent size with a nice shower (fit 2 persons). The bathroom had standard amenities, but no Q-tips or cotton pads. A blow dryer of low quality was available. No bathrobes were available, no free slippers. Overall The location is good if you are visiting the outlet center/shopping mall, the room size bigger then most, no balcony, and no view. However you are within 10min walking at Fox Town. We think the hotel is a medium quality, provided great sleep, the price is too steep this could have been 100 and the additional tax makes the experience worse, the hotel should offer the price incl. tax on ***********.

Well..... where do I start, this is one of the most breath taking places I have ever visited in the world. I booked this for my daughters 30th birthday it was her choice to go to Switzerland, neither of us had visited this part of the world before and it far exceeded our expectations. It took a plane, train and a taxi to get us to the hotel so a bit of a journey but sooooooo worth it. We flew to Milan, took a train to Lugano and got a cab up to the hotel. Tip catch the 444 bus from the train station, it so much cheaper than a cab and the bus drops you right outside the hotel, we used the bus every time after that to go down to the town. The hotel itself is stunning, the views are amazing, you have to see them to believe the photos do not capture the utter beauty of this place. You will also notice the peace, all you can hear is birdsong, it is absolute heaven. The hotel staff are amazing, they could not be more helpful. We has lots of questions and time and again they helped even printing bus time tables and giving us maps and tips. We had a welcome prosecco on arrival and then went to find our room. WOW! and what a room We had been upgraded from a garden room to a room with a view of the lake and a wrap around balcony. My daughter opened the balcony door and almost burst with excitement, it was amazing. We had a twin room which was large and super bathroom and even the view from the loo. The room was clean and comfortable, there is a safe, fridge and kettle. You are provided with robes, slippers and even a bag to pop your bits in when using the spa. This hotel has thought of everything. I could write a 10,000 word review on this hotel there is so much to say. The infinity pool is warm and you lean your elbows up on the side and just stare at that view. There is an amazing indoor pool which you can swim into from the outside pool through automatic doors. Tip give the sensors a little wave and the doors open quicker. We had two treatments in the Dot spa a massage on one day and a facial on the other, both fabulous and the staff in the spa are great. Breakfast was included in our room rate and had so much choice. We eat in the restaurant for lunch a dinner but also had room service and dinner on our balcony which was lovely and a little bit cheaper to. The view every where are fantastic, it takes 30 minute to get up the mountain so you are very high. There is a little airport way below and we loved watching the planes take off over the lake and we were still way above them. We took a walk through the Algra mountain one morning and whilst it is challenging (its very steep) it is so beautiful and worth the climb. I could say so much more but I think you should just go and see for yourself. You will not be disappointed you will come away feeling on top of the world. My daughter loved it so much she is going to return with her husband for their 10th wedding anniversary. Thank you so much Kurhaus we had the best time.

My husband and I stayed at the hotel for four nights to celebrate his birthday and our anniversary. The hotel is beautiful and the room was great, but we had severe food poisoning from the hotel. We ate breakfast, lunch and then had dinner at the arte restaurant to celebrate our anniversary and the next day experienced terrible food poisoning and ruined a day of our trip. When we told the front desk as well as the the manager we were spoken down to, scolded, and were told we didn’t know how food poisoning worked. Since we had not gone to a doctor (we’re not local) they said there was no proof that we had food poisoning and essentially treated as though we were liars (not exactly how you want to feel after getting sick for the last 10 hours). They did not offer us anything and said it was our word against theirs (again, we had exclusively eaten at the hotel). We are understanding that mistakes happen but the way we were spoken to was so incredibly rude. We then contacted the general manager and he offered to cover a future meal. We’re not local, and certainly won’t be making the effort to go back. Overall, beautiful hotel but incredibly disappointed in the staff and service, especially after paying so much for our stay.

Excellent room, value for money. Friendly staff. Excellent dinner service with a good choice of drinks to accompany food. Location is central to two train stations plus easy bus connections. Surround the hotel you have local bars and very unique restaurant reflecting food of the local communities. A must stay ….

the best hostel experience of my travels. the hotel rooms are on the upper floors of a beautiful Villa right behind the Lugano train station (5 minute walk). the hostel rooms are in the cellar. one communitity bathroom with 2 showers and 2 WC and 3 separate rooms with bunk beds. small pillows, sheet and blanket are included. community kitchen and large fridge for food and drinks. the MOST AMAZING POOL! with sun lounge beds, small bar and towels. for a summer visit to Lugano, it is best value stay and very easy to find.
