  Great room right at the train station

  Liked: Hotel in a very beautiful building, directly in front of the station. Despite the location, the room managed to keep very quite, also thanks to the AC that allowed us to keep the windows closed. The room was so much bigger than we expected, and had everything we could need. The stuff was very helpful and accomodated us even at the breakfast buffet when we were short on time.

  Disliked: Nothing

  Liked: We stayed at Hotel Rio Muralto for one night and had a very pleasant experience. The hotel is in a great location, right in the centre, with the lakeside promenade within easy walking distance. The parking is very convenient, and the breakfast offers a good choice, including eggs, cold cuts, and a selection of cheeses and meats. The room also had air conditioning, which was a plus. Overall, everything was good and we were satisfied with our stay. The only thing that could be improved is the quality of the mattress and pillows, which could be more comfortable. We would be happy to stay here again.
