The Maraini Resort offers spacious accommodations and good amenities, making it a solid choice for budget-conscious travelers. The unique setting could be a little confusing due to its integration with a retirement community, but it provides a peaceful atmosphere. However, the noise from the adjacent highway and some operational issues like check-in could use improvement.

Situated at the top of a hill in Lugano, it's a bit of a trek to the city center. The proximity to the train station is helpful, but noise from the highway can be bothersome.

The Maraini Resort offers spacious rooms with great views, but its unique mix as a hotel and clinic can be a bit unusual. The location on a hill provides beautiful landscapes, though it can make access to the city a challenge, especially for families with strollers. The amenities are decent, but mention of noise from the surrounding area can affect the tranquility you'd expect in Switzerland.

I found this resort to be a great budget-friendly alternative in Lugano. The spacious apartments are perfect for families and come with nice kitchen facilities, but the noise from traffic and construction can be distracting. The indoor pool and gym are nice touches, and the staff were wonderfully accommodating. Overall, a solid choice if you're looking to save on accommodation while enjoying the comforts of home.

Maraini Resort offers spacious accommodations with stunning views over Lake Lugano and a peaceful ambiance, which is great for families and couples. The building's integration into a senior citizen village creates a unique, tranquil environment, but can be surprising for guests expecting a typical resort. While the indoor pool and well-equipped kitchen make it a solid choice for longer stays, the noise from nearby highways can detract from the overall experience.
