Great location. Breakfast is overpriced for the limited choices (especially no warm food except eggs). Room is clean but the shower room is way too small. Can’t even bend down freely. Descent for a short stay cos of the location.

Wir hatten einen rundum hervorragenden Aufenthalt. Vom ersten Moment an haben wir uns wohlgefühlt, alles war sauber, gepflegt und liebevoll gestaltet. Besonders erwähnenswert ist der Service von Giacomo: aussergewöhnlich aufmerksam, herzlich und stets hilfsbereit. Dank seiner freundlichen Art hat er unserem Aufenthalt das gewisse Extra verliehen.
Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder und können das Hotel absolut empfehlen.

Unterkunft direkt am Bhf Locarno.
Grosse, saubere Suite (zwei Erwachsene, zwei Kinder) ohne Verstauungsmöglichkeiten.
Tolle Lage, zuvorkommendes Personal an der Reception, durchgehend kostenlos Kaffee, Frühstück klein aber ok
Wir kommen gerne wieder zurück.

Bonne adresse en face des gares FART/CFF
Petit hôtel placé en face des gares (FART et CFF), hyper pratique pour le Festival Moon&Stars qui a lieu a quelques pas.
Air conditionné dans la chambre, facile à gérer et à éteindre. Un peu bruyant, mais très efficace.
Joli petit-déjeuner, sucré et salé.
Personnel vraiment sympatique et aidant.
Pour info : salle d'eau fermée par une porte, mais pas de cloison au-dessus. Aucune intimité.

Wir waren schon zum dritten Mal in diesem Hotel und wenn wir in Locarno sind würden wir immer wieder dieses Hotel buchen. Es ist nah am Bahnhof. Das Personal ist super freundlich und auch die Zimmer sind sehr sauber. Das Frühstück ist auch sehr lecker und es fehlte uns an nichts.

Hôtel extrêmement bien situé
Hôtel très bien soigné à proximité de la gare (hyper pratique avec le Ticino Ticket), à 5 mn à pied de la Piazza Grande, proches des restaurants et commerces.
Le petit déjeuner est simple mais varié, très suffisant, sucré comme salé.
La machine à cafés ou thés est à la disponibilité des clients 24h sur 24h.
Personnel très sympathique, Giacomo est toujours très souriant et avenant.
Hôtel à recommander fortement
