“Hotel San Carlo's central Lugano location is a definite plus, making it easy to explore the city. The inclusion of a decent breakfast with fresh orange juice and a modern coffee machine also stands out for a 2-star property. While the rooms are basic and show their age, the price reflects this, and some rooms even include unexpected perks like Netflix on a large TV. For budget-conscious travelers who prioritize location, this could be a worthwhile option despite the need for renovation.”
