It was a beautiful stay for us. The hotel is in a really nice location, personnel is polite and friendly, breakfast was also very good. The only observation is that many areas and furniture look very old, and like they are on their last days of usability. I imagine soon they will need to go under big renovations

Staff was very helpful. The rooms were clean and the pool was great. Park Hotel Principe is a sister hotel to the much more elegant Park Hotel Leopold across the street. You should definitely walk over there and enjoy the view from the bar. Bar / Bistro is still very expensive but the view is awesome.

Das Hotel ist in den 70er, 80er Jahren stehen geblieben! Eingangstür undicht, Gummidichtung hängt runter. Parkettboden wäre schön, wenn er mal abgeschliffen würde. Abklebband von den letzten Malerarbeiten, wahrscheinlich vor 10 Jahren hängt noch. Lampenschirm vergilbt. Bad von den 70 Jahren und es kracht fast alles ab. Zahnputzbecher billigster Plastikbecher den es gibt! Teppichböden igitt, uralt! Und es mieft im Zimmer. Ist mir unerklärlich, wie man für eine Bruchbude soviel zahlen muss. Kein Wunder gehen die Schweizer ins Ausland. Essensauswahl naja. Das mediterrane Buffet für 75.- Fr. ist ein Witz sondergleichen!!! Das Frühstück war gut.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
De staat van het hotel is slecht, vooral de algemene ruimtes als lobby, gangen en liften en restaurant. Het hotel is zeer zwaar verouderd, vloerbedekking in algemene ruimtes zitten vol vlekken en zijn versleten. Vermoedelijk dertig jaar geleden een mooi hotel, nu volledig vergane glorie. Nog geen twee sterren accommodatie. Veel te weinig personeel, geen bediening bij zwembad. En ook niet overdag in het restaurant. De kamers zijn zeer ruim, redelijk schoon maar zwaar verouderd. ‘Vergane glorie’ in elk opzicht. Zeker geen aanrader om te verblijven. Ontbijtbuffet was redelijk maar absoluut beneden peil. Jammer van onze tijd!

This place must have been really nice… three decades ago. Now, it feels dated. The style was always gordy, but now it almost feels like being in a movie from the 1960s. Everything looks and feels old, despite the grandeur of the past and the continued signs of wealth (including three covered Rolls Royces in the underground parking). In the end, it is more of a great attraction than a great accommodation, also because it is inconveniently located — given that the distance to downtown Lugano isn’t that big, but the road is incredibly hilly and steep. Only stay there if you want to be at that place (for whatever reason), but not because you need accommodation for you visit to Lugano.
