Very good location near lake, city centre and funicular from the station. Friendly staff. They were helpful in obtaining non-feather pillows and bedding as my wife is asthmatic. Generally comfortable with effective ceiling fan.

Fantastic location right on the lake. The view from the room and the restaurant is to die for. Close to amenities and city centre. Excellent public transport outside the door. Beautiful pool area which was easy to access and use. Polite helpful staff. Comfortable room and bathroom with good shower (although you will need to get into the bath). My special requests when booking were made without any reminder. Exceptional breakfast.

Pertalozzi was a great place to stay and the staff at the front desk were especially helpful and professional. We were fortunate to get a parking spot right outside the front door. The location of the Hotel was amazing. It was within walking distance of Paradiso and all of its restaurants and stores.

The view from superior lake view room was exactly the same it was on the pics in booking. Of course better in real. Good quality of food in the restaurant. Quiet area around the hotel. Indoor parking for 18 euro night. Cool location : 20 min by foot to get to the city center or bus number 2 with the stop right next to the hotel

SLNH aka Hotel Nassa is well situated in city centre with a Lakeside frontage. From outside the train station Lugano Stazione, there's bus taking U to bus stop outside Hotel Nassa or like Us, took the Funicular(free) down n walked thru the City Centre/ Old Town via Via Nassa to the hotel. Hotel's location is most convenient to get to all attractions either by walks or buses, which are also free. Hotel's very clean n front office services were excellent n not forgetting the buffet breakfast n the lovely serving Lady.

The location is perfect. The view is jaw dropping. And there is a normal bus line which can bring you to the city centre (and then back) in 15 mins. The communication was very welcoming and helpful. The check-in instructions were great.

I booked the apartment the same morning of my stay and everything went incredibly smoothly! The host was only a text message or phone call away and possible concerns were taken seriously and also taken care of right away! The apartment was very clean and the location is ideal (short bus ride away from the city center and the bus stop is only a 2-minutes-walk from the apartment).
