This "organic" hotel was very unique and might appeal to some, but not the majority. The "breakfast" they offer is an absolute joke. Using a smartphone after downloading a QR code is the only way to enter the building or open your room door. Although the facility is very clean and the beds are comfortable, amenities are minimal. Apparently, there is some sort of evening reception, but only on Friday & and Saturdays. No restaurant, no bar, no lobby area, no coffee, just water... not what I expect from a hotel, but perhaps a select few might enjoy.

Best for those who are tech savvy looking for luxury and location in Lugano. Five minute walk to the train station, and funicular make the location ideal. Totally remodeled with a NY loft vibe. Excellent breakfast. The hardest working owners make your stay here a treat.

We stayed at the B5 hotel for one night during a weekend trip. The hotel is absolutely perfect, very friendly staff, beautiful and stylish rooms. The location is great too. Just a 3 minutes walt from the train station. The breakfast was pretty good, it could be a little more comprehensive. Would definitely recommend the hotel.

I had an amazing stay at the B5 Hotel! From the moment I arrived, the service was incredibly warm and welcoming. The hotel's style is stunning, with every little detail thoughtfully designed. The breakfast was fantastic, featuring a great selection of regional delicacies. Overall, it was a top-notch experience, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a stylish and comfortable place to stay!

The very contemporary style is worth highlighting (raw concrete) as well as the technological level (digital key on smartphone) and the excellent location a stone's throw from the train station and the historic center of Lugano. However, it is worth highlighting the lack of equipment and storage in the room where space was lacking. It is an ideal room for one night for one person but not for a stay of several days (there are however larger rooms in the hotel so remember to choose carefully). The portions served at breakfast are more like a dinette than a breakfast. The quality/price ratio needs to be improved.

A great boutique hotel in a great location—just a few minutes' walk from the train station and the city center. The hotel is artfully decorated, very well-maintained, and exudes a pleasant atmosphere. The excellent breakfast is particularly noteworthy—fresh, varied, and lovingly presented. The staff was consistently friendly and accommodating. We felt very comfortable and would gladly return!

Excellent hotel!!! Modern and stylish. A gem has been transformed from an "old hotel" ❗️ With enormous charm. Art and design lovers will love this hotel. Great rooms - each one unique 🤩. Great breakfast. Extremely clean and well-maintained. Top location. And the absolute highlight: the friendly host couple 😀😀.
