This beautiful, renovated and modern hotel is located in the town centre, close to Locarno’s old town with the famous Piazza Grande and Lake Maggiore with its lakeside promenade.

The hotel is really convenient to the train station. The room we had was large. The bed was really comfortable. Liked having the kettle in the room to make a hot drink when first getting moving in the morning. The breakfast offered up a good variety of options.

    A small, yet beautiful city on the Swiss part of Lago Maggiore which, for those who are on a circuit, is a must-come-to in order to visit Sacro Monte Madonna del Sasso. A jewel with an amazing view over the city and the lake, accessible both by foot or by the funicular (lovely).

    Awesome small town on the shore of Lago Maggiore.

    Awesome small town on the shore of Lago Maggiore. Clean, all buildings and streets are perfectly maintained. Very green, extremely picturesque - placed between Alps slopes and lake shores , with palms and lot of flowers growing around. Small but beautiful Old town, tasteful food. Just a small heaven on Earth, it still is expensive.

    Locarno has a lovely location on the shores of Lake Maggiore. In addition Locarno has developed a continuous walking and bicycle trail along the lake. We spent half a day walking to Ascona - another lake town. Another day we took the train 30 minutes to Bellinzona to explore the UNESCO world heritage castles.

    I love this hotel. I've stayed twice, once as a solo traveler and once with my sister, visiting me from the USA. The hotel is in an amazing location, with the waterfront on one side and a shortcut to the train station on the other. Restaurants, coffee shops and gelato are just next door. The rooms are minimalist. The beds are comfortable. The breakfast is great, and I love that cappuccino, hot chocolate and vending machines are available at all times on the second floor. The staff was fantastic, each time.

    The hotel is situated near the train station which is very convient. The room was spacious, with comfy bed, nice balcony and coffee-tea facilities. You have mini bar available for extra charge. Breakfast was very rich and tasty. Staff of the hotel should get extra credits for their work - Mr Norbert at the reception was extremly helpful, he explained where to go, provided additional information upon my questions - great hospitality and customer approach. I fully recommend to stay here.

    Old-fashioned hostel, or better said: a youth hotel as they were back in the days I imagine. Decent bed and nice breakfast, friendly staff & clean showers. But only 2 sockets in the entire room and lockers that worked with a coin - from which half of them were jammed/not-usable. So just prepare by having your powerbank fully charged when arriving here. ;-)
