Lugano, the perfect mix of modern Switzerland and old-school Italian flair, is quirky, beautiful and delicious. So is Hotel Atlantico. Aged like a fine wine, current in its’ ability to anticipate modern travelers needs, THIS is the place to stay if you want to live like a local. All the local attractions are easy to walk to and the multilingual Elizabeth excels in role as Manager, concierge and while you’re there it feels like you’re old friends. The place is unique, quaint and well maintained. The breakfast ROCKs and so do the staff and atmosphere. Danke, Grazie, Merci, Thank You.

We have a 3 month old baby and Elisabeth could not have been more helpful. It was our first break since having the baby and she helped us with where to go, great restaurants and put a travel cot in the room for us free of charge. It is a very clean hotel with a great breakfast and in a good location. Thank you so much. We would love to come back in the future.

On our trip through Switzerland we stayed 2 nights in hotel Atlantico in Lugano. Not far from the centre, very friendly staff, nice breakfast. I think this place was an office before because does not look like a hotel but it was good although Lugano is expensive.

We enjoyed our stay here very much. The room was quiet and though there was no air conditioning, there was only one day when that was an issue. The space is tight and the bathroom quite small, but the excellent breakfast and complimentary espressos and teas were a welcome addition. The location was perfect, for us. The hosts are beautiful, kind, attentive, and friendly.

This was our first stop having just arrived from Sydney, our greeting was warm and friendly and nothing too much trouble. The room was clean and extremely functional. Very close to Lake Lugano and the centre of town. Continental breakfast was amazing. The small touches made the trip from the freely available coffee machine to the excellent hospitality. I would highly recommend

First of all, I have to highlight the very friendly attention from Sara and Nicolás. Besides, they both speak Spanish, apart of other languages. The hotel is located in a nice area, near lake of Lugano, with easy access to public transportation. There is a supermarket two blocks away. The building is quite good. I’ve got a pretty nice, comfortable room. It was clean and well organized. The bed was comfortable. There was a flat tv set with plenty of channels. The wifi signal worked well in the room. The bathroom was good, too. No noise at night, so it was good for sleeping. Safe available in the room, not sure if at extra charge. No fridge in the room. There is no elevator in the property. In a clean, well organized area, breakfast was pretty good, fruits inclusive. One day I needed to take the breakfast 2 hours before regular time for breakfast (8-10 am), and they were so kind to prepare it that early, not just for me but for other four persons who needed it at that time. A transportation ticket was included in the fare, something I did not know, but it was a nice surprise, since it allowed me to use local buses for free; Ticino regional trains were included, as well as some discounts in other services. I did like my stay in this hotel that I would have liked to stay longer.

Had a great overnight at Hotel Atlantico! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, providing answers to all questions about navigation and attractions. They even gave me a tourism card that made public transportation in the area free and offered discounts! My room was clean, bed comfy, great breakfast. The location was a quick bus ride from the train station and the center of Lugano was an easy walk from the hotel.

We were lucky to stumble across Nicholas & Sara's little hotel when we flew to Switzerland unexpectedly for a family emergency. The Atlantico was one of the reasonably priced hotels in Lugano that could accommodate 4 of us. Sara & Nicholas were amazing doing everything they could to help us. Plenty of restaurants nearby, a fantastic breakfast, good bathrooms & super clean

A great alternative to the pricey hotels in Lugano. The Atlantico has all that you need for a comfortable stay - clean and comfortable rooms, good breakfast, centrally located to Lugano (about a 15 min walk to Lugano central, 2 min walk to the bus - free parking is available at the hotel) and pleasant owners - Sara and Nicholas. We had a very comfortable three night stay. Highly recommended. NOTE: The Ticino Ticket is available from the hotel which allows for free travel on the bus and trains during your stay, as well as other discounts for attractions in Lugano.

My colleagues and I enjoyed our stay in the hotel Atlantico. The rooms are causy and clean, some of us had a balcony with a very inspiring view. The breakfast was good and lemon curd was especially delicious - Sara even gave us a can with curd (to take home). We appreciated care and home atmosphere the most of this small and lovely family hotel.
