“Hb Lugano Center's prime advantage is its exceptional proximity to the train station, a boon for travelers with luggage; rooms are functional and clean, though some may find the bathrooms a bit dated. While the rooms can be compact and some amenities inconsistent, the location is hard to beat. A practical choice for those prioritizing transit convenience.”
