Hello, We, have just returned from Lugano where we stayed at Hotel Calipso. Prior to our departure we had reservations about this hotel, having read the comments on Trip Advisor. I am very happy to say that although the hotel would not be the most modern one around, it was clean and the staff were polite, pleasant and helpful. The... more

Its kind of a ok hotel, nothing terrible, but nothing really special or memorable. Gets a lot of bus tours. Large rooms, but no a/c. Parking lot was full at first, so had to wait for space. About 3 blocks from Lake and Promenade. more

This is an old hotel and you have the impression that you travel back in time. Most of the people staying there are more than 70 years old. Therefore I believe that the decoration fits to their age! Nevertheless it was quite clean (especially the bathroom) and is located very close to the lake and the not far from the... more

We intended to stay in this hotel for a long weekend. When you enter the hotel, the first thing you notice is its very outdated state: It looks like we're back to the 60s! It looks, smells and feels old. There's nothing charming or romantic about it. The spartan breakfast was a couple slices of bread with cheese, ham, butter... more

The Hotel Calipso Park is one of 3 related properties within a block of one another in Lugano, Switzerland. We (2 adults) arrived in mid May, 2006 and were going to stay for 2 nights. We were told by the front desk clerk that the Calipso Park was the best of the 3 properties. However, when we got into the... more

Calipso Park Hotel!!! My God!!!! The hotel was probably renovated in 1980 last - the rooms were the most depressing rooms that we had seen in a long time - they depressed us to this extent that we ran from Lugano, the city. The bright spot was that the receptionist - Maria (or someone) was friendly, accomadating and helpful but... more

We stayed at this hotel in the spring of 2002 by accident. We had intended to stay in Milan, Italy, but all the rooms were booked due to a convention in town. We drove to Lake Como and everything was booked as well. Finally, we crossed the border to Switzerland and found sanctuary at this hotel at midnight. Despite the... more
