Exceptional hotel right in front of a gorgeous lake. You can have a swim and then enjoy a delicious dinner right there right then. Everyone working in Lac Hotel is lovely and passionate about great service, rooms are nice clean, what’s not to love? ;)

This hotel spells hospitality with a capital H! Today is my birthday. Yesterday, we checked in. We were tired and I really needed a coffee. We finished the check-in and the friendly owner served us two cappuccinos for free. We also got a free room upgrade. He also must have taken note of the date on my ID. This morning at breakfast, the server brought me a tasty piece of Schwarzwälder cake with a lit birthday candle and wished me a happy birthday 🎈. Those little things. That's hospitality. Mille grazie! In other things, the view is exceptional, the hotel staff kind, good breakfast. Please take note, the hotel writes in the description that there is a small lift. They do mean it. The lift will take two suitcases or two average sized people but not both. We've had an excellent stay and will happily return!

Driving in to Melide from the French alps didn't make it look promising as a place to stay for the three days that we had booked. But looks can be deceptive and it turned out to be a really wonderful location for exploring Lake Lugano and the surrounds. The hotel and restaurant were lovely and the view over the lake was beautiful from the room. The room was spacious, clean and well laid out and breakfast was really good. The train station was an easy walk from the hotel and the Ticino ticket gives free train transport, so visiting Lugano was very easy and definitely worth doing. We can really recommend the funicular from Paradiso to San Salvatore (with the walk back down to Melide being an unexpected bonus). The cogwheel train trip to Monte Generoso was an unexpected delight and we would have loved to walk from there back to Bellavista, but unfortunately didn't have the time. Also stopping off at the Cala Melide after our various trips was a real delight, really friendly service, good wine and beer, great Pinsa and a fabulous view!

Nothing

The hotel was a very pleasant find. A wonderful Boutique hotel. The room was excellent with an amazing view and very nicely presented. Hotel staff were super friendly and helpful, considering we were staying in the town due to an unexpected interruption in our travels. But the Restaurant was really 5 Star. Staff, food, and setting were such a pleasure. I can't recommend it enough.

The town of Melide itself, needs some loving! But access to the lake is very easy and lake swimming in Switzerland is so wonderful. The hotel has private access and there is an empty public beach a few meters away.

We had a fantastic stay! The location is perfect, and the staff was very welcoming. The breakfasts were delicious, and to our delight, we were upgraded to a room with a stunning lake view at no extra cost. The front desk even provided us with complimentary tickets for the regional train and bus, making it incredibly easy to get around. Though the parking area is small, we had no trouble parking our car and used the train for all our travel. It was convenient and fast—an overall wonderful experience!

Very small parking. Small lift.

Great location, around 1km from the train station and right next to the water front walk which is super nice. The breakfast was delicious and very balanced. Staff are friendly and responsive when we had a problem with the AC, they immediately arrange a replacement.

I left my bluetooth earpod in the restaurant one morning and for some reason none of them kept them for me, which made me a little sad. And it would be nice if they can speak better English.

The location is perefct and very accesible by car. The suite at the top is stunning with absolutely wonderful views. The hotel is lovely and the staff are very friednly and courteous. We stongly recommend.

We stayed over new Years Eve and there were x2 families who partied just about all night. we understand it was new Years Eve but noise unit 3.30am is not reasonable. We will however be back but not for New Years.

We only stayed for one night but everything was so good! Everywhere was spotlessly clean and our room, although we chose the small double with a street view, exceeded our expectations and wasn’t at all noisy. Recently renovated to a very high standard and for Switzerland was very reasonably priced.

No negatives at all.

It is a good hotel, in a nice location. The staff is very competent in general and also regarding my request of special decoration for a pair

The only comment regard: - the size of the toilet, that should be a little bigger - the outside hotel advertising board should have larger dimensions and also good luminosity at night

Excellent hotel quality and you feel instantly at home. All staff are amazingly helpful and many thanks to Lucy, Carlotta and Augustina, plus the hotel manger who very kindly took us to the local railway station. Exceptional customer service and we are already staying again in apr24. Rooms and lovely and airy with very comfortable bed and pillows. Strong wifi. Breakfast plentiful! Free parking on site too which is a bonus. Many thanks as always!
