“Guesthouse University By Lr is a smart choice for Lugano, especially given its self-check-in-ideal for late arrivals; plus, I appreciate the inclusion of kitchen and laundry facilities in the units. Its location near the university and Exhibition Center makes it extra convenient, and the fitness center access is a real perk. For travelers seeking fuss-free stays, this spot is a solid option.”
