It was ok, but not more. Feels more run down than it is. The House has Lots of charm, the rooms- not so. No duvet, just a thin blanket (with holes)it’s reasonable in Price and I liked the central Location. My verdict: it needs much more love and engagement. Staff at the reception was excellent. I will not go back.

Staff! Due to a landslide caused by heavy rains, our party of 4 was stuck in Milan with no way to get back to Lugano. Hotel staff arrange a taxi to pick us up and bring us back to the hotel when all transpiration options were overtaxed and expensive. The staff literally saved us from a very difficult circumstance.

While the property was incredibly convenient in terms of its location, we had issues finding parking nearby and our room was very hot. When we tried to use the A/C, the machine started to leak and did not stop for 12 hours. I woke up with a sore throat likely from moisture. When we checked out the next morning and let them know about this issue, they said that it’s been happening in our unit. Why rent out a room that you know is having water issues?? The hotel was definitely not fully booked. It’s a beautiful property with great staff, but not worth the price considering what we had to go through with water issues. I woke up sick and my husband barely slept from the constant drip of the A/C unit. It was the most expensive place we stayed on our entire road trip through Switzerland and Italy and we were pretty disappointed.

Great place

Great place, everything worked well and service was friendly and competent … I was first person at breakfast and had to find coffee server - would prefer self-serve coffee and something warm in the breakfast - a little bit of egg or sausage would have been great … 4.5 overall

Hotel Petalozzi was clean, comfortable, and relaxing. The rooms were large, modern and well appointed. It was very hot and humid when we arrived so we were very thankful for the air conditioning! The hotel is close to everything yet not directly in center which is nice. The staff was friendly and efficient.

Stayed on 2nd floor with front and side windows. Lots of noise in the park across the road but the windows and a/c block it. Staff is excellent, cold breakfast had lots of options and for an extra 8F you could have scrambled eggs. Great location to walk to everything.
