A nice, old, not grand, but decent hotel, by the lake, with the best location possible. Views are great, rooms small but comfortable. Consider room decoration as non existent... Staff ok, some older staff not patient and less ok. Night recepcionist very kind and professional. Sadly, not enough food in a limited breakfast more

Our stay at the Hotel Walter was spectacular! I LOVED this hotel. Clearly one of the best located in Lugano. Lugano itself is such a charming, clean and well ordered city. The hotel walter is similar. Our room was small but had a fabulous balcony. Be sure to request a balcony room because while they all have a lake view,... more

The staff at reception are helpful as well. It is an old building but reasonably maintained. The triple room that I stayed has lakeview.... more

We stayed four nights at this Hotel and loved our room on the third floor with a fantastic view of the lake and mountains. The staff are friendly and very helpful. A particularly nice touch was the provision of a kettle and selection of teas, very much appreciated, other hotels take note !!. Our room was very comfortable and a... more

My wife and I stayed at the Hotel Walter Au Lac for one night enroute to Lake Como. We enjoyed our stay - the hotel was clean, and the staff was helpful. The air worked well, and the lake view was very nice. The room was on the small side, but the bed was comfortable and no issues with traffic... more
