Bom pequeno almoço. Óptima localização Pessoal muito simpático
Lage super, FrühstückhBadezimmer schlecht

Um hotel gostoso, acesso um pouco difícil, porém com funcionários excelentes, quartos um pouco velhos… merece uma reforma e ficará excelente
Localização
駅から近くて助かりました。バスや電車が無料になる券を貰えます。 朝食がとても美味しかったです。
Situation de l'hôtel à côté de la gare. Accueil très chaleureux à la réception. Excellents repas au restaurant. Petit déjeuner copieux
Rien de spécial
Locale, staff and breakfast is included. Access from the far elevator of the train platform closest to the overlook allows easy luggage transport downhill from the station (it is the pink building to the right of the bus stop down the hill). The neighborhood is pedestrian only with some local residents’ vehicles and deliveries by vehicle.
I really dislike having hot comforters as my only covering to sleep. Sheets in addition to the comforter would be a preferable in many hotels!
We had a really great two-night stay at Hotel Federale. The location is excellent, very close to the train station and convenient for exploring Lugano. We also got the Lugano Ticket from the hotel, which allows you to use local public transport and the funicular free of charge. Our room had a slightly unusual shape, as it was located at an angle of the building, but it had everything we needed and was comfortable. The restaurant was wonderful - the food was amazing, and the atmosphere made both breakfast and dinner especially enjoyable. We really appreciated that the chef came out every evening to speak with the guests and personally ask for their feedback. The restaurant staff were fantastic as well, creating such a warm and friendly atmosphere. A very special thank you to Davide Nettuno, who was incredibly helpful and gave us lots of useful information during our stay. We would also like to thank Domenico, who took such great care of us in the restaurant and contributed to our great experience. Overall, a wonderful stay with excellent service, great food, and genuinely welcoming people. We would be very happy to return!
エアコンが完備されていた。スタッフも良かった。朝食も美味しくスタッフも特に女性スタッフがにこやかで良かったです。ありがとうございます。
特に無し。
Charmante Ausstattung - meiner Tochter gefiel das rote Bonbon- Kissen mit der Aufschrift ‚Buona notte‘ so gut dass sie es am liebsten mitgenommen hätte. Freundliches Personal tolle Lage wenn man mit dem Zug anreist und trotzdem recht ruhig - wir waren sehr dankbar relativ kurzfristig dort unterzukommen.
Alles war gut.
Die wunderschöne Aussicht
The staff is lovely. The outside terrace for meals is cozy and refreshing. The location is great: 10min from the lake, 4 min from stores and restaurants, 2 min from the train station (we never heard the train). It's a perfect place to sleep if you are planning to spend all day outdoors.
The double bed is a fake; it's two single beds next to each other. The bathroom is old school with a bathtub. The air conditioner made more noise than a snoring pig.
Emplacement
Perfect location, so convenient and close to the station
Sehr Zentral zum Bahnhof und zum Zentrum. Tolle Aussicht. Zimmer sehr sauber und freundliches Personal.
The location is excellent, right next to funicular railway in the old part of town.
Rooms just a little spartan with non functiong TV in one room, but who wants to watch TV in sucha beautiful location!
Personal muy profesional y trato muy bueno. Hablando español y muy serviciales.
Prime location right next to the train station. The staff were extremely hospitable and even helped us with our luggage to and from the station. Everyone was so sweet, and the views were amazing. I would love to come back and explore more of Lugano someday!
日本人の奥様の細やかな配慮が行きわたり、海外でほっとできるホテルでした。手作りの街の案内冊子もよかったです。朝食もおいしくいただきました。快適な滞在でした。
駅からのアクセスで、新しくできた北側エレベーターについて、事前にもっと情報があれば長い坂の歩道を下らなくてもよかったかな、と思いました。 ※SBBの職員の方に道順を聞いても、長い坂の方を案内されました。 ※※AIツールでホテルへの行き方を調べると、フニクラ(ケーブルカー)に乗ればよいと間違った案内をするものもあるので、注意が必要です。
Das Personal war sehr herzlich und einladend.
Das Zimmer war etwas veraltet, Bett und Kissen waren nicht sehr bequem für einen guten Schlaf.
super Aussicht vom Zimmer,2 Balkone,.Prima Frühstück,Abendessen sehr gut-5Sterne-Qualität

Fantastisk service i receptionen, der var opmærksom på at give os gode råd og vejledning i forhold oplevelser og transport✌️🙌 Tak for overraskelsen😊
Ótima localização, muito perto da estação e também do centro de Lugano, o Hotel Federale disponibiliza alojamento confortável, quarto com varanda sobre a cidade e o lago, bom pequeno-almoço num espaço ao ar livre.
Nada a comentar.
L'emplacement tout près de la gare, du téléphérique pour descendre au coeur de la ville, la gentillesse du personnel toujours très attentionné.
Great location near the train station and a few minutes walk to the water and central Lugano. The view from our room was perfect.

Very nice staff, amazing breakfast with nice outside seating, super location right next to the train station but you don't hear the trains, you're surrounded by tranquility.
nähe zum bahnhof
alles war gut
Das Hotel ist perfekt gelegen, nur wenige Gehminuten vom Bahnhof, dem Stadtzentrum und dem See entfernt und trotzdem sehr ruhig. Unser geräumiges und makellos sauberes Zimmer war sehr komfortabel, und wir haben uns besonders darüber gefreut, dass wir nach dem Hinweis, dass wir mit unserem Whippet Gio reisen, ein grösseres Zimmer erhalten haben. Das Frühstück war ausgezeichnet, mit einer grossen Auswahl an frischen Speisen, sehr gutem Kaffee und ausserordentlich freundlichem Personal.
Der einzige unangenehme Moment war, als ein Auszubildender wegen eines aus unserer Sicht kleinen Fehlers vor den Gästen zurechtgewiesen wurde – dies hätte unserer Meinung nach besser unter vier Augen geklärt werden sollen. Da das Hotel am Hang liegt, kann der Rückweg aus der Stadt für Gäste mit eingeschränkter Mobilität oder schwerem Gepäck etwas anstrengend sein.
Lage und Frühstück sehr gut
Sehr nettes und aufmerksames Personal! Tolle Lage bei Reise mit ÖV. Gerne wieder.
Oui
Le climatiseur ferai du bruits de temps en temps
Top Lage für ÖV-Benützer, 3 Min. vom Bahnhof bis zum Hotel! Herzlicher Empfang, sehr schönes, ruhiges Zimmer im 4. Stock mit allem Komfort, schönes Bad/WC, Betten von ausgezeichneter Qualität, Mineralwasser als Willkommens-Drink, Kaffee, Tee zur Auswahl. Grosses Frühstückbuffet mit warmen Speisen und Früchten, das wir - dank dem schönen Wetter - im Hotelgarten geniessen konnten! Ein besonderes Lob an das Personal: Ihre Freundlichkeit hat uns beeindruckt, sowohl an der Reception wie am Frühstückbuffet! Herzlichen Dank! Wir kommen gerne wieder!
The breakfast food was excellent and staff extremely friendly. Once we figured out the ramp to/from the train station to/from the hotel it was a beeeze getting around.
Die Lage, sehr freundlicher Empfang und toller Innengarten zum Essen 😊
Staff where amazing 😊
It was perfect 🤩
Location is near the station it's 2 minutes on foot, we just found some difficulties when we tried to reach it by car, the room is very simple but clean, staff were friendly. breakfast is good

Wonderful hotel, so convenient for a brief stay whilst travelling through on the train, and incredible staff like old world hotel service staff. Very peaceful.
Amazing location! Close to train station and Lugano Central, but up high on hill so very quiet and peaceful. Staff were all kind, helpful and always went above & beyond expectations! Delicious meals at breakfast and dinner with the best service always desiring to please their guests.
Die Lage war super, ruhig und nahe beim Zentrum

Die Lage ist für Bahnreisende ideal. Das Highlight war für uns das sehr zuvorkommende und freundliche Personal.
Das Putzpersonal war schon morgens unterwegs und blockierte den einzigen Aufzug,
Federale is the most convenient hotel in Lugano for anyone taking the train. It is a 5-minute walk downhill from the station, provided you take the right station exit. The room is correct 3-star quality, and has airconditioning that functions. The breakfast is standard Swiss style, but served in a pleasant garden in warmer months.
The hotel needs to explain better how to get there from the train station, which is how most guests will come, and which is its strongest feature relative to other Lugano hotels. You need to go to the north end of the platform upon arrival and go down by stairs/elevator, then escalator, following signs for “Citta” until you reach open air and see stairs on the left and a descending ramp on the right. Take the ramp and a minute later you’ll see the hotel building.
La pulizia delle camere. L'efficienza dello staff, la cortesia del personale e l'attenzione per il cliente. La struttura è moderna e la posizione dell'Hotel lo rende perfetto per chi viaggia in Treno. Colazione abbondante e di ottima qualità.
Strano a dirsi per me che sono molto critico, niente.Non ho aspetti negativi da segnalare.

The breakfast was good. Both breakfast and dinner were set outside in the garden. The atmosphere was very pleasant.
The hotel is located beneath the bridge, with a very steep slope from the railway station to the hotel. I suggest the hotel provides golf cars to pick up people from the station to the hotel when they have heavy luggage. Otherwise, they have to take a taxi, which costs 20 CHF for such a small distance.
Sehr freundliches Personal
Extremely convenient to the train station. If you're traveling by train, you should stay at this location.

L'Hôtel jouit d'une position exceptionnelle. Son histoire mérite largement sa réputation. La petite attention en partant avec un Panettone très goûteux.
Peut être le prix du parking ... discutable, car service voiturier excellent Je ne me rappelle pas avoir payé le WiFi
The friendliness of the staff and how approachable they were excellent service
One lift only for a big place
Un accueil extraordinaire d’une gentillesse remarquable
