ibis budget Lugano Paradiso, hotel in Lugano

Only 215 yards from Lake Lugano, Ibis Budget Lugano Paradiso features free Wi-Fi, a bar, and a restaurant. The center of Lugano is just under a mile away.

**Disappointing Experience at Ibis Budget Lugano Paradiso** My recent stay at Ibis Budget Lugano Paradiso was highly disappointing. The room lacked even the most basic amenities expected from a hotel; there were no slippers, soap, or even towels provided. Furthermore, the air conditioning was non-functional, making the room uncomfortably warm, and the electrical outlets for charging devices were scarce. The cramped space of the room also resulted in a lack of ventilation, leaving it feeling suffocating and reminiscent of a prison cell. Considering the exorbitant price charged for such substandard conditions, staying at this hotel is simply unjustifiable. I strongly advise against it and would not recommend it even to my worst enemy.

    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.

    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.

    Absolutely fantastic stay, from start-to-finish! The location was perfect, with ample on-site parking. There is free public transport available, included in the price of the room and a bus stop outside the hotel, with the bus taking around 10 minutes to reach the centre. The rooms was clean and comfortable, with air conditioning. The staff were fantastic and the 1950s style diner on site was amazing! Lugano was the most beautiful place that we stayed at, in Switzerland and if we came back again, this is where we would want to stay.

    The location of the hotel is ideal, directly overlooking Lake Lugano in the Paradiso section of town, and a pleasant 15 minute walk to the center. The building itself is gorgeous and while the hotel itself is pretty run down (it has a 1970s feel), the lack of any attempt to make it more luxurious means it is good value for money. In fact, the decor throughout the hotel looks like the owners spent a lot of time rummaging around at yard sales looking for an assortment of kitsch items.

    The hotel itself is in Lugano Paradiso, it is a little bit far away from Lugano Centre. But I would recommend to stay in Paradiso since it is near the lake with splendid view. In booking the photos seem quite old-fashioned but in reality it is much better. The room and facilities were new. The room and bathroom were spacious. We were served fresh breakfast. The lady who worked there was very friendly and helped us a lot in providing blankets and sockets.

    This hotel close to the main train station shares it’s lovely grounds with a hostel. Our room had a balcony but no curtains across the glass doors. Fortunately, there were shutters that could be closed to block the morning light and some of the train station noise. The bathroom is small and bath gel is provided only in little pouches. The bed is comfy and they provided an extra pillow on request. There a small frig and welcome AC in this warm part of Switzerland.

    Quiet location above Lugano, large rooms with proper AC. Staff pleasant and helpful. Large outside pool was appreciated by all. Breakfast buffet was reasonable, but low fat/low sugar options were few. Restaurant in the evening offers buffet or pizza. Neither were great, but the local restaurant about 9 min walk away called Balmelli was superb (fab food prepared by 2 Italian Chefs, lovely service and reasonably priced within Switzerland for the standards).
