Colorado Hotel

Very difficult to find as sat nav kept sending us down dead end roads, however once we did ,we arrived at the rear entrance which was shared by the local garage and bike hire s it was not immediately clear if we were in the right place. First impressions were of a very dated old fashioned hotel, with dusty old stair carpet and a cluttered reception area. We were promised a free travel card , but this was not forthcoming. Reception was rarely occupied (perhaps we were the only residents ??) so had little chance to chase this up. Room was spotlessly clean , but very small and hot. The air con did not seem to work. Shower was on a tap mixer which was bit like playing chicken with the varying temperature. However good location if you don't mind the short walk up the hill, staff were very helpful (when you saw one) Parking was available at a cost. For 2 nights it was OK, but doubt a family or longer stay is sustainable. Lugano itself felt very safe, but very expensive. Boat rips were good and the general location was spectacular with views over the lake and mountains.

by: Michael Chrisman Perfectly located near Lake Lugano and main rail & bus services for this marvellously family owned and run hotel. Great attention to detail by its proprietor Learco Bernasconi and wife along with desk administrator Leila who all keep it spotlessly clean and are always only too glad to please and recommend things without being overly fussy. Hotel offers free local transport voucher which also includes a number of discountable Lugano attractions. Attached bistro restaurant/pizzeria offers a menu which is frequently changed during the week to keep it fresh and interesting. Well and moderately price rooms which include breakfast offering a continental style spread. Overall- literally little if anything to complain of. Very much in the Swiss tradition of hotel management. For people looking for a well run 3-3.5 star accommodation.

Lugano – Colorado We took the local bus two stops to the hotel which we reserved with balcony and view of Lake Lugano, plus the breakfast which was great. One could eat inside or outside (where we also enjoyed dinner one evening. The staff was most helpful, as we wanted to make the most of our 3 nights stay: two boat rides, art museum visit, strolls along the lake, etc. There was one glitch which necessitated a change of rooms. Kudos to staff member Christina for her service and help.

Stayed for two nights in a single room. The hotel seems kind of old-fashioned, but doesn't lack in anything. Buffet Breakfast was tasty. The staff is friendly. Location of the hotel is great, within walking distance of the station (800 m). Price is reasonable.

L'hôtel est bien situé au centre de Lugano ce qui en fait sa grande et unique force. Malheureusement l'hôtel et ses prestations laisse à désirer. Il a décroché ces 3 étoiles dans les années 70 et malheureusement n'a pas évolué avec son temps. ( Aucune rénovation visible ) Son mobilier est abîmer et plus que désuet. On dirait une parodie de maison de retraite. Sans compter l'odeur d'huile et de pneus qui embaume l'hôtel ce qui donne l'impression de dormir chez un garagiste. Nous sommes arrivés à 21h à l'hôtel et avons demandé de pouvoir parquer notre véhicule pour la nuit et le lendemain jusqu'à 16h. La dame qui nous a accueilli nous a demandé de payer les 15 francs car le parking est payant. Et de regarder le lendemain matin avec son collègue pour pouvoir laisser le véhicule sur le parking après le check out de 11h00 . ( petite précision, nous sommes entre saison donc l'hôtel est quasi vide ). Le lendemain matin le monsieur de la réception ( au comportement plus que malhonnête ). Nous a dit que ce n'était pas possible. Donc j'ai payé 15 francs dans le vide sachant que la nuit les parcomètre son désactivé en ville. Donc les parkings sont gratuit. Le petit-déjeuner est de piètre qualité. Il n y a pas de viennoiserie ni de pâtisserie. Je suggère à tout voyageur de chercher un autre hôtel que celui-ci, car au vu des tarifs pratiqués il y a bien mieux pour le même prix , voir moins cher.

Zum Zentrum nach Lugano ca. 15 Minuten zu Fuss. Hotel in die Jahre gekommen, eher einfach. Ein paar Parkplätze vorhanden, ob es mehr gibt, entzieht sich meiner Kenntnis. Bad war mit einer Dusche ausgestattet, der Einstieg hoch, nicht geeignet für Menschen die Mühe mit ihrem Bewegungsapperat haben. Frühstücksbuffet ok, für Intoleranzen kein Angebot. Personal am Empfang sehr freundlich.
