The Hotel Vezia is quirky - which I like. There is a 1950's theme running throughout the hotel and exterior. This suited us as we were born in the 50's !! The theme worked very well, however there were a few adjustments needed. The room was very 50's, but the bedding felt like that too ! The bed was sited next to a wooden unit, which meant that it was easy to bang your head ! I padded the unit edge with a bath towel but still couldn't sleep thinking I would bump into it. Staff were nice. Exterior of Hotel was impressive. The downside for me was having to catch a bus into Lugano - about 10mins but you ave to walk quite a way from the train station to get to a bus stop when you arrive in Lugano. We were carrying heavy rucksacks, so were extremely tired on arrival at the hotel. The bus to go into Lugano from the hotel is only a few yards away as is ti return. The area is just a normal street on a busy road. There is a swimming pool, but we had no time to try as we were on the move next day.
