Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Well, Expedia wrote $5 city tax at booking time, the host charged CHF 11.50 ($15!) right before the stay. Even worse, to be paid either by a weird local swiss payment system or paypal. Nothing else, no cash no credit card. Not great at all. Also quite noisy apartment. Otherwise clean and ok.

good place, many communication problems

The studio is basic, but has anything you need - small kitchen, microwave, dishes (no dish sope, however). The bathroom needs some repairs, but is spacious. The place, however, despite being mordern, has literally zero charm. But it is very well located, and the price is absolutely right. My main problem was the communication: As I booked via hotels.com, a plethora of conflicting and confusing information follwed (e.g. you have to check-in elswhere; we will reveal information if you give us informatin on this form (which was empty). Contact us if .. with no contact information. A link to paypal and twint without telling me what they wanted me to pay. I eventually found out their email, and contacted them to get the missing information. This chaos sort of represents also their attitude: you do not feel welcome. Noone said - glad to have you as a guest, but there are threats of "if you do not clean the kitchen, it costs .. if you do not check out exactly at the time, we will ... " . (And: check out their responses to criticism on the net). My suggestion to the organizers: Besides of all the rules and threats you communicate, you may include a welcome, glad to host you. This said: I will go back there.

GuestHouse Lugano University

Zweckmässig eingerichtete Unterkunft, Check-in läuft online mit Code für Türe, da keine Rezeption vorhanden ist. (hat prima geklappt) Kommunikation vorgängig per Email ohne Probleme. Zum Zimmer: Preis/Leistung ist okay, alles notwendige vorhanden; Leider war jedoch die Toilette noch dreckig vom Vorbenutzer, ebenfalls hatte es noch Essensrückstände auf dem Tisch.
