Hotel Walter Au Lac

Nice Hotel just by the Lake the Suite at the top is good for Families or bigger groups big terrace 2 rooms with own bathroom and shower which is nice. The wood floor is a little noisy when you walk because the Hotel is a little older and i think they are not allowed to change the floor because of regulations but not a big deal. You also get free public transport for lugano and the surrounding area and if you park your car at the car park per exit it doesn't matter how many days you park you only pay 28 fr.

Great hotel, would stay there again. Wonderful location, close to shopping and buses and boats. Breakfast was also enjoyable in a beautiful room with a view. Staff was helpful. We happen to be there on May 1 which was a holiday so we got to enjoy the car show and the markets.

After staying 3 nights în this centenary hotel I am thankfull for the home feeling away from home that is so hard to find. Everything about the room and breakfast is at the level of expectations without failure and most of all the location în front of the lake is priceless.

This hotel is right in the city center, close to all the shops and facing the lake. The room I had came with a balcony and had an amazing view. The room's a bit on the old-school side and not super fancy, but it's clean, has a nice feel, and comes with everything you need – comfy bed, desk, kettle, and a mini-fridge.||Breakfast was very good, with that incredible lake view again. They've got a solid spread of fresh stuff, and the people running the breakfast are super friendly. Actually, all the staff were great, really helpful with tips about the area. ||The only small gripe? Checkout's at 10:30 am, which feels a tad early compared to other places. But all in all, if I'm back in Lugano, I'd definitely stay at Walter au Lac again.|

Very pleasant stay with my family here. ||The service of all staff here are really friendly and helpful. We arrived early around noon and the rooms are not ready yet, the reception staff there tried their best efforts to settle us at comfortable lounge area and helped to manage our luggage.||10 mins later and we were informed one room was ready to put all our luggage and took rest, another 5 mins later another room was ready for us. We didn’t expect we can get our rooms at that time.||The rooms are really beautiful overlooking beautiful Lugano lake view which out of our expectations. The price was absolute worth the cost and beyond our expectations, it made our trip wonderful with their extra care and warm smiles. ||The bed was comfortable and bathroom was spacious. We love the time here.

Really enjoyed my stay here. Central with ferry across road. Local bus stop too Much dining and shopping nearby. Faces Lake Lugano across street. My room had a cute balcony with 2 chairs & a table. Lovey lake views. There's also a terrace on top of hotel

In the Heart of Lugano, this hotel is facing the lake. We booked a room with a view, I believe the room is called Premium Room. We booked direct to save 10 percent and also got free breakfast due to booking direct. The breakfast was decent, I just wish they restaurant staff is given the right equipment to serve guests better. Like the yogurt was not as cold due to the limited space to keep it with ice . ||We had to leave our luggage as the check in was at 3 pm, but we were advised to come by 2 pm and our room was ready. When you reach early, drop your luggage and they have a bathroom to freshen up. ||I would recommend pick the room on 2nd or 3rd floor for a nice view of the lake and also for people watching. The balcony had table and two comfy chairs. ||AC worked and it was perfect. Since the building is too old, my only wish is that whenever they remodel, they should get rid of the tub and have walk in showers. This is a constant problem in all Swiss hotels that the tubs are too steep and one can fall. ||Overall, I would stay here again when in Lugano! It is 10 mins from the Train station. The best part is that there is bus stop right outside the hotel so getting to the Lugano station is very very convenient even with luggage. ||There is main shopping district / alley in the back of the hotel Via Nassa i believe. Go there to get your shopping and food. ||Also, Burger king and McDonald’s are a minute walk from here

Stayed 2 nights at the Walter Hotel in Lugano, Switzerland, on Oct 18th and 19th. It's your typical European hotel room. A bit smallish compared to the North American hotel rooms, but what you can not beat is the cleanliness and friendliness of the staff. The room had a nice European charm, nicely stocked with drinks and snacks. The breakfast buffet was simple and delicious, and the friendly staff made sure everything was replenished immediately. Please try this hotel if ever in Switzerland.
