Awful experience!
The missing Air-conditioning was the main deal breaker . The beds were very uncomfortable ;I left with a back pain. The wifi was really bad , unstable. The pool is open from 10:00am to 07:00pm .All good until you realize that during the day you cannot use it too much and by the evening the staff tells you off at 07:00 sharp in a non polite manner. Durring my stay ( june 20-27 ) I had a surprise of a construction site right next to it . Every morning 07:00 sharp the workers uill cut in iron and wood making a awfully loud noise . No minibar in the room . The rooms are looking awful, everything is old and works like it . On the balcony you get just twoplastic seats over-used and mini table. Overall the worst experience I've ever had.By the end of the holiday I got so pissed that really made me hate this place . The only good parts are: the location and the fact that the cleaning staff did a perfect job considering that the showers were not sealed properly and water will get out all over the bathroom. Nothing more , nothing less.

It was very difficult to get to this hotel, unless you drive, as the town doesn't offer taxis and we were unable to hire a driver. We ended up taking the city bus which wasn't a great option with our luggage and with the bus timetable. The hotel itself was right on the water and five minutes to the beach. The staff was exceptional friendly and helpful. The wifi wasn't great and the hotel didn't have air conditioning so in mid-July we had some hot nights! Overall tho, we were quite pleased. Just ensure you are aware of the lack of taxis and no air conditioning as those things took us by surprise.

Sufficient place to stay for short time, kind ppl!
My friends and I had a pleasant time at this hotel, it is in a quiet area where locals are just across from the lake. It is an older building with very small amenities such as little bathroom space but it was sufficient enough for us for our 2 night stay. Keep In mind they have no air conditioning in the rooms at least none that we saw, however we let the windows open for a breeze and left the fans on and that kept the room cool. The front desk employees were so kind and helpful, they suggested great places for us to eat in the local area and provided us with great service. I would definitely recommend staying here for a short time.

Lake view hotel but somewhat dated and no aircon
The location of this hotel is excellent, right in front of lake Lugano and it was nice to have a small pool next to the hotel and a balcony. What was very disappointing was the inflexibility of the hotel manager in particular with regards to the check in and check out time. We were not allowed to check in the room a bit earlier eventhough I looked like the rooms were ready as the hotel was not very busy at all. When we arrived at the hotel the manager told us off in a way for being "too early". On the day of departure the manager wanted more money for a late check out. We had already paid quite enough for this somewhat dated hotel with no airconditioning so I thought it was quite greedy from the hotel manager to request more money for his hotel which didn't seem very busy. So in a way I have mixed feelings about this hotel. It was nice to be near the lake but not nice not to be treated well.

Small hotel by the lake shore
The owner of the hotel is very friendly and helpful. The hotel is by the shore with fantastic view of the Lake. The room has no air-conditioning inside so I had to leave the window open to get fresh air. Nice buffet breakfast is served in the morning. There is a 5 Euro charge for the parking.

Already thinking about going back.
The Hotel Europa is a 3 star hotel - that is fair as the rooms are adequately furnished without being luxurious. The bed we had was firm but comfortable and the ensuite a little dated but the shower was fine. Yes, air-conditioning would have been nice as we did get a couple of bites having had to leave the balcony door open overnight to keep the room cool. However, these are minor points - bottom line - the hotel was fine. What lifts the Europa experience is the hotel staff who are totally superb on every front. Friendly, informative, welcoming, caring and efficient. The restaurant is wonderful and by far the best dining option on the Lake sea-front. A great menu and a good selection of wines etc at sensible prices. Breakfast is fine with a selection of cereals, fruits, pastries, cheeses, meats etc. By far the most endearing quality of this hotel is it's location. If you can make sure you get a balcony room on the front of the hotel - it's worth the few extra Euros - and soak up the view down Lake Lugano which changes as the day progresses and the different light highlights different aspects of the panorama. it is stunning. Everything you will need is nearby (including an award winning gelato store opposite the ferry terminal) although the hotel has most things covered. With easy access into Lugano itself and many other places of interest nearby this is the perfect base for a few days exploring the region. We will be back.

Lovely view of lake and mountains.
We enjoyed our stay very much. We needed a few quiet days of down time during our travels and Porlezza provided that. However, we did want to take a boat trip on the lake but couldn't get tickets. The man at the tourist office was very nice but he couldn't sell tickets. The travel agency office that could was not open on Sat. afternoon or Sun. at all.

A beautiful hotel with a great location right next to one of the most picturesque lakes I have ever seen. One negative only, book a room at front of hotel, one you get a fantastic view and secondly you will not be disturbed by church bell that continues chime throughout the night. We will back at some time!
