The employees at San Carlo were friendly and welcoming. They were very helpful and went above and beyond to help us navigate a town when we didn't speak the language.

All the furniture and overall condition of the facility is below average. There is no Air conditioner in the rooms. Lugano is generally quite warm during summer months, the two nights we stayed at the facility were miserable. Breakfast is below average and no available at the time that was told to us. They were setting up breakfast 30 minutes after the time we were told breakfast will be ready. Overall avoid this place if you can.

It is right in the center of the historic part of town. Easy walking to city buses. A block from the lake. A special surprise was a horn quartets performance next door at an old church that echoed throughout the neighborhood.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Very central and easy to go anywhere. The staff is nice. However, the room is so very hot. The two fans were not sufficient to keep the room cool. The room temperature remained over 80 degree throughout the night. The room amenities were very minimal, only one hot water kettle and nothing else. In this super hot day and night, we could not even keep some cold drinks around,
