Nice Enough
It's a nice enough hotel, right next to the funicular that takes you to the train station. The rooms are quite dated, but the breakfast was nice the service was very good.

Highly recommend
We loved our stay and wish we could have stayed longer. Great location. TIP from Lugano train station: GET on funicular. Exit funicular and immediately make U turn. Hotel is right there at the bottom. Great restaurants walkable and our favorite breakfast of our trip.

Paul, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It our third trip in Lugano and the third stay at Acquarello. This hotel is located in the centre and staff are always great.

10/10 Exceptional

Great hotel option for staying in Lugano center. The funicular connects the SBB railway station with the city center and funicular station is just 10m away from the hotel entrance.
Tae, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Easy walk from the train station to the hotel. Take the funicular down from the train station and the hotel is immediately on the right. Right in the middle of old town so it was a good location. A decent hotel for the price. The room was small, but definitely adequate for our needs. Staff was super helpful and the breakfast good. The only negative was the sheets were not soft and a bit scratchy.
Kevin, 2-night trip

Transport close to the train station and convenient location in the city.

Nice
Nice and well located hotel with pleasant staff. The room was not huge and the balcony looked into offices. But it was adequate and I'd stay there again.
2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This hotel is next to the furnicular that goes to the train station and also a very easy walk to the lake and shopping. The included breakfast was nice with an assortment of options. The beds were comfortable , the facilities were clean and nicely kept. The staff was friendly and helpful. It was nice to have access to the gym and sauna. We were very happy with this hotel.
Laura, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Close to rail station but not easy to find. Nice room, nice selection for breakfast. some parts of the hotel are next to a tram line that take people up and down the hill via the train station so the noise is noticeable.
SHANE, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Near the train station and the funicular. Clean room. Very helpful front desk team. Breakfast was good. Cons: I could hear the funicular from my room.
Filmer Catalino V, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Easy to find, just get off the funicular and walk through adjacent courtyard. Heard the funicular and it sounded to me like a distant jet plane, but it bothered my significant other. Staff was awesome and helpful.
Robert W, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great hotel in a great location. I appreciated the hotel having 1 standard European power socket as I was unable to find an adaptor for the Swiss socket in Australia. Coffee machine in room & fridge. Was given a free block of Swiss chocolate upon check in which was nice & a Ticino Ticket with free public transport.
