Locarno hotellia

Plussat: Breakfast buffet: Finally a hotel with different types of coffee included in the room rate! Great place to stay for a family. Everything was perfect.

Plussat: The hotel stuff is amazing, mega friendly and helpful ! Location is perfect and the bed is soooooo comfy! ♥️

Miinukset: The only minus is that there is not enough parking space and I had to search for a public parking- luckily I was only one night, so that’s was not bad but for guests that stay longer that can be problematic.

Plussat: location

Miinukset: price, after complains , we have been moved to the better room

Plussat: The view from the room was fantastic, the room was clean and bed was comfortable, breakfast buffet was excellent and delicious! We had a perfect stay!

Plussat: Beautiful view of the lake and surroundings from the room. The room was very nice with a modern bathroom. The staff was great and very friendly and helpful. Very good breakfast was included.

Plussat: The staff was friendly and welcoming

Miinukset: The check out was a disaster not well organised 1 personne during morning rush hour so make sure you have enough time it took me 25 minutes!!!

Plussat: Good location by the lake and close to the center. Nice view on the lake if you have a room on the lake side. Breakfast was good and stuff very friendly. The Delux room was specious and clean.

Miinukset: The water in the swimming pool was very cold. The check in was delayed a lot but they offered a compensation.

Plussat: - the room is very big; - the bed, the sheets and the pillows are very comfortable; - the breakfast was good, with a few good options to choose from - even if you have a late breakfast, you can still find everything you need; - the hotel facilities are good, with a bar and a pool downstairs; - the staff is friendly.

Miinukset: - we paid for a lake view room and more than half of the view was blocked by a tree; - we used the wine glasses in the room that were not cleaned during the day; - the bathroom trash was not emptied in our room before we arrived; - the buffet style breakfast seemed in appropriate during a pandemic.

Plussat: The employees are very professional and kind.

Plussat: Could not enjoy the hotel. we were robbed in our bedroom all the cash and Reka Checks, few hours after hour arrival (see complaint) and we changed Hotel the day after.

Miinukset: Few hours after our arrival we were robbed in our room (locked with the hotel key). We were at the bar for an hour and in the meantime my wallet and my husband wallet were cleaned in our room. Inclusive our reka check. Much for our dissapointment for such a welcome, the manager of the hotel was very unfriendly. She strongly pointed out to us that they are not responsible for this and she did not show empathy to our unpleasent situation. Also we were told that this never happened before....and just by chance another woman that pass trhough the reception heard my compliant and she told me that at the same time she was also stolen in her room (cash, a ring and a necklace). Never happend before? Police from Bellinzona registered the theft.

Plussat: Very simple and nice, pool and sun a beautiful room for 2 incl. a kitchen in the center of Locarno a throw of stone from Piazza Grande...!

Plussat: It is well located.

Miinukset: I asked them a room with a lake view, they said and charged for that. There is no such thing there. Because it is not a tall building,The view from the rooms are the trees and the swiming pool.

Plussat: The central location with swimming pool

Miinukset: the garage far too narrow and the bikes ina bad shape

Plussat: I liked the friendly atmosphere. The spacious room and the airconditioning as it was very warm weather. The balcony, view of the lake. The restaurant with the terrace was very nice. Breakfast was very good. Childfriendly without noticing too much.

Miinukset: the bathroom was outdated and smelled in the morning .

Plussat: The breakfast buffet - very extensive

Plussat: Location, size of the room

Miinukset:

Plussat:

Miinukset: Its an old hotel where noting has been done since 1960. Furniture very very poor, old and dirty. Rooms the same. Reception was something from a 1960's horror story. Totally dreadful hotel.

Plussat: location

Miinukset:

Plussat: Everything.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Miinukset: No children specific necessities provided like robe and slippers

Plussat: Nice hotel, great staff!!

Miinukset: Restaurant was a bit overpriced- location was a little far from the lake

Plussat: Facilities, view, location, staff, value for money

Miinukset: Nothing to mention

Plussat: Everything was great! All staff working very professionally, friendly and doing a great job! Especially many thanks for arranging a fulm vegan breakfast and dinner for us--the restaurant was fantastic! Excellent value for money.

Plussat: Location

Plussat: Excellent service, very good facilities, optimal location.

Miinukset: None

Plussat: Front desk folks were very nice. Room had a beautiful view of the lake and a very nice terrace.

Miinukset: the restaurant both food and service was very poor

Plussat: Liked the roomsize, balcony with view over lake. Good hotel, but no luxury hotel. Private garage to park the car (30 ChF).

Miinukset: Didn't like the room interior, colourscheme feels unpersonal, bathroom small.

Plussat: view from balcony, swimming pool area with view on monastery, service in hotel

Miinukset:

Plussat: Good location and standard of accomodation

Miinukset:

Plussat: The hotel was very clean and comfortable and had all the amenities--even a laundry room that guests could use (though you have to ask--I was told that Americans are the only ones who ask about doing their own laundry). An easy 5- to 10-minute walk into Locarno, but all uphill on the way home. Or you could get on the funicular that runs every 15 minutes or so right next to the hotel (until early evening, I think). The breakfast buffet is sumptuous, the coffee very good. Nice grounds, pools, spa facilities.

Miinukset: It's very big and a little sterile-seeming. A lot of older German tourists seem to stay there. This is not a bad thing; just makes the place seem a little staid.

Plussat: We loved everything and we're usually very critical. The grounds, the room, the service- it's more like a five-star hotel.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Outstanding service location and stunning views...a wonderful stay!!

Miinukset:

Plussat: Beautiful place next to the shore Super really super friendly staff Great breakfast buffet

Miinukset: Wellness area is a bit loveless

Plussat: Breakfast buffet; friendly personnel speaking different languages; great location

Miinukset: No coffee machine in the room

Plussat: Sijainti ihanan rauhallinen kauniilla rantanäkymillä järvelle ja vuorille, kuitenkin vain pienen kävelymatkan päässä rautatieasemalta ja Piazza Grandelta. Superior-huone siisti, kokolattiamatto. Vuoteet ja vuodevaatteet erittäin mukavat. Kylppäri ennenkaikkea harvinaisen hyvä: sekä suora hana että suihku ja veden lämpö helposti säädettävissä. Terassiparveke tilava, näköala suoraan järvelle (huone 104). Aamiainen aivan mahtava, proseccosta alkaen tuorepuristetut mehut, leivät, leikkeleet, hedelmäsalaatit, jugurtit, juustot, kakut, murot, pähkinät ja lämmin munaruoka toiveen mukaan. Kahvi tuotiin pöytään kupeittain. Koko henkilökunta erittäin miellyttävä ja palvelualtis. Ulkoterassilla oli ihanaa istuskella auringossa järvi-vuorimaisemaa ihaillen, huurteista proseccoa à 8 CHF siemaillen. Hotelliin saavuttaessa tarjoiltiin lasilliset valkoviiniä tai appelsiinimehua.

Plussat: The courtesy of the staff and the piano I could play

Plussat: Thank you very much to the staff for a very warm welcome and a pleasant stay! We had a room with lake view terrace and it was perfect.

Plussat: Super thoughtful and helpful staff. Had an amazing time here and the breakfast was great!! Will definitely be back!!

Plussat: - nice and friendly staff - clean rooms - good breakfast

Miinukset: - we were woken up at 7 am on a weekend from folks talking in the room above. They weren’t loud. This hotels has zero sound proofing. I’ve never experienced such a thing. - the sauna and one of the showers in the spa was broken. This is ridiculous for a 4 star.

Plussat: A nice stay at the hotel, staff is very friendly, helpful and warm welcoming. The room was very spacious, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was really beyond amazing: could compete with a 5 stars hotel, bravo!!!

Plussat: The personell are extremely careful and friendly, speak many languages. Excellent service

Plussat: Good quality, also local products

Miinukset: The entrance is somewhat hidden

Plussat: At the center of Locarno, everything within walking reach. Clean and modern.

Plussat: The bed was comfortable, the room was cozy, it has an air conditioner, and the breakfast was simply superb.

Miinukset: The shower's temperature often got suddenly chill or suddenly hot out of nowhere, getting back to normal after some seconds.

Plussat: Located close to most amenities and major attractions. Minutes walk to Lago Maggiore, the funicular and the train station. Friendly staff.

Plussat: The staff was extremely friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: Breakfast was very minimal: only some bread, jam, milk, and yoghurt. No cereals, no eggs, no continental breakfast. And the only fruit available were apples.

Plussat: Always nice to be there. Staff are very friendly, good breakfast and perfect located. Thanks again

Plussat: Pretty standard Ibis. Everything was clean, although, maybe not the newest. Receptionists are very friendly. You can find free parking spots during non working hours / days along the streets.

Miinukset: Eggs for breakfast were gone already before 9.30am, without refill

Plussat: Clean

Miinukset: Breakfast

Plussat: We stayed for one night. The position is excellent, easy to reach by car and few meters from the lake and the full centre. Hotel very clean, new and comfortable. Kind staff. Full good breakfast at 15CHF each.

Plussat: Nice buffet spread for breakfast. Location a bit too far from railway station but nice walk from the lake.

Miinukset: Some of the souvenirs I bought was missing from my bedroom. Could it be taken by the service staff cleaning my bedroom? Please investigate, thanks,

Plussat: the hotel was perfect for this price - brand new, clean and modern

Plussat: i was on a business trip, however, the modern and trendy atmosphere made me feel very relaxed.

Miinukset: i did feel the need for more space.

Plussat: Quiet and clean. The bathroom is good.

Miinukset: No free breakfast and no free wireless internet.

Plussat: Hyvä englanninkielinen palvelu. Siisti huone ja koko hotelli ylipäätään. Hotellissa vastaanotto auki 24h. Lähellä keskustaa. Hotellin vieressä kadunvarsi pysäköinti, joka yöaikaan ilmainen. Koko Sveitsin vierailumme paras hotelli. Ympäristöystävällisyydestä myös plussaa.

Plussat: The location is excellent.

Miinukset: The Wi-Fi in the hotel is available only from Swiss Telecom and quite expensive.

Plussat: Design and coulors. Location and easy way to find the hotel building. Modern and fresh atmosphere with comfortable commodity.

Plussat: Scrupulously clean, good design of the room (and the building) given that it's relatively small, helpful staff, quite good breakfast buffet.

Miinukset:

Plussat: The hotel was nicely located in the city center of Locarno. It was close to most interesting places.

Miinukset:

Plussat: cute facility

Miinukset: showers, no breakfast

Plussat: The location is perfect, a minute's walk from the main square in Locarno. Check in was uncomplicated - our room was free so we were able to check in 2 hours early. The room and shared bathroom were always perfectly clean. The beds were comfortable (although our double consisted of two singles, which tended to split with a gap opening between them).

Miinukset: There was a noisy group of guests who woke us up on two out of three nights. The towels and toiletries provided were a little stingy.

Plussat: Excellent place to stay in Locarno. Location is great, the room was big and the bed was comfortable. The owner was super friendly and helpful, I got a Ticino card which allowed me to use public transport for free. Breakfast was a big buffet with great coffee, eggs and a big choice of breads. The only thing I missed were some veggies.

Miinukset: The bed and common bathroom is not really suited for tall people (above 1.7 m), the bathroom is tiny, so it would be hard to manouver there.

Plussat: the helpfulness and friendliness of Brano and Flavio and the orderliness and cleanliness of the property

Miinukset: Nothing though I'd prefer to have a lower floor room

Plussat: Great location near center or Locarno and not far from the main station. Nice basic continental breakfast.

Miinukset: More power source would be appreciated in the rooms to be able to charge electronics.

Plussat: The staff were very friendly and helpful and breakfast was very good.

Miinukset: The shared washing facilities made privacy a little difficult at busy times.

Plussat: Nice people nice reception nice place to stay! I did really had a good time there

Plussat: Very good breakfast!

Plussat: Tout, Everything

Miinukset: Rien

Plussat: Overall nice little hotel with small fine details.

Miinukset: There was no toilet and shower in my room. I couldn't know in advance, so it confused me. Was in a bathroom in my colleagues ’room. So that was the super room.

Plussat: The building is very nicely renovated. The personal is also super friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: The breakfast was simple but fine. The coffee was really good! However, we would appreciate some ham or cheese.

Plussat: It was too short a visit, though staff did provide some assistance on dinner options.

Miinukset: Walking three flights of stairs to attic to get to room. Ceiling in room was low and could hit your head.

Plussat: Very friendly, spotlessly clean, good breakfast

Plussat: The hotel staff is very attend and make you feel at home.

Plussat: The hotel was conveniently on our route, the staff were very friendly, the rooms were clean and comfortable. An excellent night-stop

Plussat: Good location - a short walk to the main square. Very friendly and cheerful staff and a good breakfast. Secure parking on site.

Plussat: Sijainti hyvä-lähellä keskustaa ja rautatieasemaa, oikein hyvä aamiainen

Miinukset: Franngin kurssin vahvistumisen myötä hotelli ei ollutkaan niin kovin edullinen

Plussat: Hotellirakennus, puutarha ja huone olivat viehättävät, palvelu erinomaista, hotellin sijainti hyvä, hinta-laatu suhde erinomainen.

Miinukset: Hotellissa ei ollut aamiaista lukuunottamatta ruokaa tarjolla.

Plussat: Mukava ja siisti piein hotelli, missä hinta/laatu-suhde kohdallaan

Miinukset: Käytävältä kuului hyvin ääniä, joten oven eristys voisi olla parempi

Plussat: friendly staffs, great room

Miinukset: little bit far away from the train station and the lake

Plussat: staff kindess; cleaness

Miinukset:

Plussat: friendly, english spooken

Miinukset: no restaurant

Plussat: The front office manager/staffer by the name of Luigi was exceptionally accommodating and helpful. He helped us with bus and transit suggestions and arrangements. He was exceptionally friendly and make our stay very, very enjoyable.

Miinukset: The only drawback is there is no lounge or place to relax outside of one's room.

Plussat: great locationn great bed & sheets

Miinukset: entramce to the room was a bit ugly / room itself was nice & charming but some things are a bit old (e.g. TV) -- for that price i expect a bit more

Plussat: Very well situated and super friendly staff. Very unique room with a comfortable bed. Lovely decorated. We even could check-in earlier. 100% recommendation!

Plussat: Location is good, breakfast was good as well!

Miinukset: The room was quite small and the AC was so loud that sleeping was not possible when it was turned on.

Plussat: 1. Interesting style of rooms. 2. Friendliness of staff. 3. Honesty bar (fridge & cabinets on each floor with some supplies for a fee if needed)

Miinukset: 1. Very expensive breakfast (CHF30/person), and must make order 1 day in advance (not a buffet). 2. No elevator, so you must carry luggage on stairs. 3. Room not very well isolated (sound).

Plussat: We have been here before, all well, just the CHF 30.- for breakfast = CHF 60.- is inacceptable - we had a splendid dinner at Bottega del Vino with wine, Sweets, an a Averna for just CHF 100.- (great service, great surroundings, very good Food!)

Miinukset: As before - ask them to serve a normal breakfast at acceptable price, otherwise absolutely perfect. - Mind you there is a Nespresso coffee machine and a water kettle in the room, so there is a way out

Plussat: Athmosphere, wellcoming and care for guests: makes you feel very important. Design and unique approach to B&B

Plussat: I liked the comfort and the individual design of the ropom very well. I was also fascinated of the breakfast!

Plussat: loved the breakfast and decor! and all round fab atmosphere

Plussat: breakfast was a sheer delight

Plussat: The hotel is very relaxing and artfully decorated. It has several different room themes but each one is done in with good taste. The room that we have stayed in on two occasions has a kitchenette, a small bathroom, WC and comfortable lounge area. The really yummy continental breakfast is served either in the courtyard garden or inside the cafe and the fruit and pastries are more that you could desire. The people who manage the cafe/hotel also have an art gallery adjacent which we liked too. No lift but helpful people to assist you. Would stay there again as enjoyed the experience greatly.

Miinukset: The pedestrian street location may make it difficult for car arrival, but there is a car park nearby.

Plussat: Ambience, amazing breakfasts, lovely staff

Miinukset:

Plussat: The breakfast is awesome.

Miinukset: No shampoo, the breakfast started to late while we agreed on having breakfast at 8:30

Plussat: We felt pampered. The small details (fresh hydrangeas on our plate at breakfast, cookies, little card as a welcome) made our stay a real exprerience.

Miinukset:

Plussat: Location was very central. Breakfast was superb. Staff friendly & helpful even with a language barrier.

Miinukset: Due to location and birds it was noisy late at night and early in morning.

Plussat: The staff were very friendly and helpful, but the hotel was not very well set up for long stays . The layout of the "suite" we were in was a little strange. One lovely big room, and another room that was really a corridor with a bed in it. The main bedroom had no cupboard or shelves for clothes, nor a desk. No bedside lamps for reading. But a great big bathroom and bath, which we appreciated!

Miinukset: Breakfasts are not served until 9am, which is too late for families with young kids.

Plussat: The swimming pool offers a great relax after a day out. The breakfast is very good with different options

Miinukset: The parking slots are limited and narrow. The exit of the parking is extremely cumbersome (backwards maneuvering to get out). Operating the blinds was not intuitive

Plussat: Friendly staff, exactly what was expected for the very good price.

Plussat: Clean and simple, nice and tasty breakfast, good value for money, friendly staff

Miinukset: A bit far from city centre, 15 min by foot

Plussat: Excellent breakfast, big room, free baby crib, location, very clean, friendly staff, free parking.

Plussat: The room were a good size, modern and clean. We had a balcony which was lovely but not much to look at. The man that greeted us upon arrival was absolutely lovely. Made us feel very welcome.

Miinukset: The town doesn't have much to offer. Quite boring actually. Really only good for a stop over on the way to somewhere else.

Plussat: The two gentlemen that we met at reception were outstanding, cordial, helpful, polite. In fact, I have never encountered such appropriate welcoming, and it made things start off very well. We traveled with two dogs, and they were welcomed also. Parking is limited but secure. Breakfast included in the room rate, was well presented and delightful. WiFi was available in room at no extra charge...nice!

Plussat: Friendly, helpful staff, small but modern room, elevator available, fan in room

Miinukset: Hand shower only (no wall bracket for the shower head)

Plussat: the swimming pool and the good value for the money. The location is good because the Maggia river is near.

Plussat: Nice pool, friendly staff and the breakfast was also good.

Miinukset: The rooms are not clima controlled and, depending of the immediate neighbour, noisy

Plussat: great room, friendly staff, short walk from old town

Miinukset:

Plussat:

Miinukset: I'll suggest to set up air conditioning in the rooms.

Plussat: Nicely designed room and building, friendly staff, good breakfast

Miinukset: It was further from the centre of Locarno than we had expected. It was a shame that in early June the swimming pool was not yet full of water. Also the website gave the wrong address so we could not find it on the map.

Plussat: Its fairly new and clean.

Miinukset: Breakfast was alright. A little far from centre of town

Plussat:

Miinukset: away from train station. no hot drink facility

Miinukset: Friendly pp and so clean everything perfect

Plussat: The service

Miinukset: The price and the breakfast.

Plussat: The breakfast was very good. It has offered everything we needed for a good and nutritious breakfast. A lot of fruit, bread and cheese options and even chia seeds for the cereal bowl (that surprised me a lot). Also I really liked the bathroom area with the showers and the toilets. I was very happy about the fact that there were separated shower cabins in which every one had their privacy. Over all everything was very clean and appealing. Perfect conditons for a pleasant stay.

Miinukset: I have only one critique that I want to address even though it wasn’t a huge problem, it should be just a reference. When we entered our room we had a bit a shock because it was so hot. We noticed that wie didn‘t have any air conditioner in the room. Due to that it was a bit uncomfortable to sleep because we couldn‘t open the window because of the mosquitos.

Plussat: the breakfast was a good variety of everything. they even had soy milk :) rooms were clean. unfortunately no dinner, but it was off season. Staff ist friendly and helpful

Miinukset: my voucher was not accepted when I booked. And they keep telling me I should book via their website although it is much more expensive there.

Plussat: Spotlessly clean, great breakfast, pleasant staff. Perfect for those who want a nights sleep but not the most social of places if that's what you're looking for. Location is good.

Miinukset: It suited my needs perfectly.

Miinukset: No parking, just on the street, no free coffee on breakfast. Bad everything, small rooms. Expansive.

Plussat: Well-situated, less than 10 minutes walk to the old town. Breakfast offering was good, and the place overall is well-maintained. It's not noisy or chaotic as would normally be expected for a youth hostel.

Miinukset: Twin sharing room (double-decker bed) was too small for its purpose.

Plussat: Good location, room big enough, breakfast ok

Miinukset: The bathroom is a bit old fashioned but OK for the price we paid.

Plussat: I was proposed a quiet room as requested. Rooms finishing and furniture are simple, but recently renovated. Nice stay!

Plussat: Very friendly staff. The hotel was located less than one minute from the main station. Very good price quality in comparison to the others hotels.

Miinukset: The pillows weren't good at all.

Plussat: Right across the main train station, but not noisy. Location is very convenient to walk around and visit the town. The balcony was a nice plus.

Miinukset: Building is a bit old (but generally clean)

Plussat: Location is perfect Ticino ticket is free!

Miinukset: Staff at night of 16 Oct not know anything about wifi. I cant use for 2 nights. Bad

Plussat: Simply the best :) 2 mins walk to the train and bus station!

Plussat: Simple and awesome breakfast!

Miinukset: I can hear the elevator even though im 3 rooms away.

Plussat: Excellent location next to railway station and in city center. Pizzeria in same building.

Plussat: Aamiainen kohtalainen.Kokeneempi henkilökunta asiallinen.

Miinukset: Ilmastoinnin puuttuminen erikoisen kuumalla ilmalla.Hotelli sijaitsee rautatietie-aseman vieressä,katumelu järkyttävän kovaa jos yritti tuulettaa.Auton parkkipaikan saaminen vaikeaa.Suuri pettymys sivujenne perusteella,tekisi mieli pyyttää rahat takaisin.

Plussat: Expensive hell-hole. Noisy, dirty room and very very hot and uncomfortable. Very basic with room with nearly army cots to sleep on.

Plussat: The hotel can be older one (like this is) but it is unexceptable to be as dirty (curtains in the dining room, bathroom in the room)....This price range should assure dicent conditions for the guests and we did not find them in this hotel.

Plussat: The convenient location.

Plussat: I liked the view of the lake and mountains. The breakfast was nice and staff friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: The room facilities - even though they must have been luxurious in their days - are rather old now.

Plussat: triple bedroom was actually 2 ajoining rooms. Location - next to station. View.

Miinukset:

Plussat: location, near Railway Station

Miinukset:

Plussat: Central location

Miinukset: Some general maintenance needed in the room - shower hose broken, radio on/off button broken.

Plussat: Not much.

Miinukset: We were most dissapointed in this hotel. There was a bad smell in room and hotel lobby area. Very basic accomodation on a very low standard. Have stayed in many 3 star hotels before but never one as bad as this!

Plussat: Very good breakfast, courteous service, helpful and friendly staff.

Miinukset: Tea/coffee making facilities could be added in rooms. Garage car park access very tight!

Plussat: The hotel and rooms are stylish, TV programs are free and the breakfast is good.

Miinukset: The view from the balcony was...to a parking lot and onto other balconies to see other guests. If you like to do conversations with other it is great, if you'd like to have privacy, not at all!

Plussat: Specially, the employees were very nice and helpful. The breakfast was also very complete and good.

Miinukset: The beds were split into two when we booked 1 bed dir two people

Plussat: location and the front desk staff was very nice

Miinukset: breakfast selection was very limited and there was not enough making us wait for bread or cheese. we had to wait very long for eggs.

Plussat: Very friendly reception staff, multilingual, welcoming and the room was ready to check in early, which was a great bonus, like this we could go hiking for the day. Very helpful with the issueing of Ticino ticket, fast and efficient. The renovated room was facing the mountain, so very quiet and lovely views. Free Nespresso coffee & water in the room with biscuits ;)) so attention to detail is definitely there. Generous size and comfortable bed. Breakfast was nice with good coffee, fresh orange juice, fruit, eggs.... and very accommodating and friendly waitress.

Miinukset: All good, we would stay there again! Perhaps pre-book carpark, as it was full when we got there, however there's an option in the nearby public carpark, which was no problem at all.

Plussat: Aamiainen oli ok, ei huippu, muttei mitenkään huono, oli monipuolinen

Miinukset: Vähän enemmän paikallisinfoa?

Plussat: Staff very nice . Facilities very clean and great location.

Miinukset: Cushions to sleep very thin. Breakfast not great.

Plussat: Great location. Very friendly staff.

Plussat: Clean room, very bright and well maintaned Incredible view Perfect location next to train station, lake and town centre Staff is really friendly and multi-lingual Night receptionist guy was really kind

Miinukset: Really poor a.c, the room was 28 degrees at night time and too noisy to open windows, we woke up at 5am badly dehydrated Receptionist never remembered us, and kept on speaking to us in different languages. She made us feel like thieves when she asked us what our room number was the next morning after we went out for a walk....could do a lot better I think

Plussat: Great location, only meters away from the lake and a minute on foot from the train/bus station. Also conveniently close to many shops, restaurants and attractions (including the Piazza Grande). The hotel is a nice building, the room was clean and functional, with a view of the lake, the mountains in the background and a park in front. Awesome staff, super friendly and very accommodating.

Miinukset: Can get a bit noisy outside in the evenings (Friday/Saturday) due to groups hanging out in the street or the park.

Plussat: I had a most enjoyable stay here. I was given a room upgrade to a double with a balcony and lake view, this was very much appreciated. My room was clean, comfortable and warm (visiting in February) and I slept very well. The bathroom was also very clean and well lit. The breakfast was good, and the breakfast area was extremely pleasant - bright and fresh. There was also a lounge area with free tea and coffee - similarly very pleasant, modern and comfortable. No faults to mention - this was a good hotel in a very convenient location for transport, eating and shopping; I have had a lovely stay in Locarno.

Plussat: The room was very spacious, the view was beautiful. Very close to train and boat stations, and city centre.

Plussat: view at the lake, and comfort, in the middel of the city,

Plussat: Excellent central situation. We paid for a room with a balcony which I'd recommend as they have an interesting lake view . It might be a bit noisy if a major festival was on, but we found it quiet in late August, and there is air-conditioning so you don't need to have a window open.

Miinukset: They have a free tea bar, but charge for milk - annoying for the Brits.

Plussat: The hotel is in a great position - easy access to the lake, central piazza, station - would go again.

Plussat: Very comfortable, with a very good buffet breakfast. Well decorated, clean room. Friendly staff (which is very important)

Miinukset: Central position is excellent, downside is the noise from the street late at night.

Plussat: Friendliness of staff and overall friendly atmosphere.

Plussat: Pretty interior design, comfortable bed. Extremely nice staff, convenient location.

Miinukset: Big street right below hotel, it's Switzerland so there aren't so many cars passing, but we could still hear them. The bathroom in the room had an open ceiling, a bit awkward to use and noisy, we heard noise of running water coming from the pipes. It might have been written in the description of the room, but if I had known I wouldn't have booked it. Very basic toiletries, no tea or similar in the room.

Plussat: The staff was super friendly and very helpful. While the room wasn't huge, it met all its expectations and was super clean. The hotel is 7 min away from Piazza Grande in Locarno and thus very central. I was travelling with my partner and we would definitely come again and recommend it!

Plussat: Great location at walking distance from the city center. Very clean and spacious room. Staff (Giacomo) has been very kind and helpful, giving us tips on the places to visit.

Plussat: everything just fine. The room was fine,though a bit noisy with the traffic, otherwise the location was fine. breakfast good with an expresso machine,croissants,bread,ham,salami,yoghourt,etc. The staff were very good, friendly an helpful.

Miinukset: The portable frig was nice to have but a bit noisy.

Plussat: a very nice little room, just a minute from Locarno train station, close both from the old town and the lakeside. Noise proof is perfect - with the windows open you can hear all the noises from the main road and the railway, but as you close them literally nothing can be heard. was a very comfortable stay

Plussat: Very friendly, welcoming staff. Hotel is perfect and great location being near town, lake and train station. Superb, very clean room and really quiet. Gorgeous stain glass windows and all round great ambience.

Plussat: Very convenient location in front of the train station and close to the city center.

Plussat: Helpful and friendly staff, look and feel of an old house.

Miinukset: Right next to a road, bus terminus and rail station

Plussat: Excellent location, smart nice hotel

Plussat: Friendly owners. Good location opposite the station, and rather close to shops and restaurants.

Plussat: Location is close to the main city centre & activities. Hotel owners were very lovely & kind. Very good breakfast. Hotel is a little dated but still comfortable.

Miinukset: Needs a better signage - we had problems finding it.

Plussat: Amiable hotel owner running the hotel himself. Spacious, clean and nicely furnished room with airconditioning and minibar. Large shower room properly equipped. Location: only 300 m from the Lago Maggiore and 500 m from Piazza Grande. All for quite a reasonable (for Swiss 3* hotel) price.

Miinukset: Room window opens to a bit noisy street (or rather road). Railway station view from the window. But can't have all perfect at once.

Plussat: The warm welcome from the owners of the hotel. The position was perfect for just parking the car and walking into the old town, which was charming, and the lakeside, which was beautiful.

Miinukset:

Plussat: Sympaattinen pieni hotelli keskeisellä paikalla ja erittäin ystävälliset omistajat.

Plussat: The fact that it was quiet at night, even though we were a 3 min walk across a busy road from the main train station. The a/c worked well and breakfast was okay. Great location in Locarno to get to the train station, lake, hiking areas, downtown for shopping/eating. Owners were helpful with recommendations.

Miinukset: Nothing really. Suggestion for future guests, request a quiet room, away from street side. The owner called me to change our room to a double superior for only 20chf more a night. Was worth it.

Plussat: Nice clean room, friendly staff, wonderful breakfast, just a few minutes walk to the city centre

Miinukset: -

Plussat: Elegant and charming, perfectly situated close to the train station and easy walking to the town. Very genial host and hostess who were most helpful. Would recommend highly.

Miinukset:

Plussat: Very friendly staff

Miinukset:

Plussat: Due to the Coronavirus situation, although the hotel was open, and although we have a booking without cancellation option, the hotel manager sent us a voucher that will let us stay at the Geranio au Lac at some convenient date in the future. We are very grateful to have been offered this option. Thank you very much!

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Old bathrooms

Plussat: Staff were ourstanding. Nothing was too much trouble.

Miinukset: It rained.

Plussat: Great location - near train station with great view of Lake Maggiore. Included breakfast of cereals, cold cuts, yogurt, fruit... very sufficient. Very clean with simple but sufficient amenities. Friendly, helpful staff.

Plussat: Good location next to railway station and lake

Plussat: Near the lake :-)

Miinukset: leaving and going home.

Plussat: It was written in the comments that the bathrooms were old, however i did not notice anything in the bathroom that needed renovation the room was pretty clean.

Plussat: Excellent location overlooking the lake and only minutes walk to the center and train station. Would stay again at the hotel for location, but would avoid paying over 500Fr for 2 nights in the future... but hotel choice were limited in the region for the weekend.

Miinukset: Parking is on street only and limited to 2 hrs and free on Sunday. Parking is very busy during peak times ie evenings and finding a spot can be difficult. Hotel was able to offer a discount ticket for the train station... but the receptionist wasn't able to tell me at the time if the price for the 24 hr ticket would be cheaper then taking the car part ticket.. in fact a huge difference so if given the option take the parking ticket from the hotel. Rooms are comfortable, basic in room facilities, dated in style but still in good condition. Breakfast basic and simple.

Plussat: I liked best the very friendly and helpful staff, the great location on the lake and a few minutes from the train station, the delicious breakfast buffet and room with balcony over looking the lake

Plussat: nice people, italian/latin style. Very sympathic. location is fantastic

Plussat: Well located hotel just a few metres from the rail station but very quiet.. NIcely furnished and large room with balcony overlooking the Lago Maggiore. Good breakfast choices served by friendly staff, free hire of bikes and free use of internet connected computer.

Miinukset: Price was a little high but comparable to others of similar standards in Switzerland.

Plussat: Excellent location, very good breakfast buffet, availability of bikes for guests to borrow.

Plussat: Excellent location, right on the lake and close to the centre of town - easy walk from train station. We had room facing lake with balcony - most enjoyable. Substantial breakfast very welcome.

Plussat: Sijainti oli loistava, huone erittäin siisti ja henkilökunta ystävällistä, kileitaitoista ja palvelu-altista.

Miinukset: Lähellä olevasta rakennutyömaasta olisi pitänyt olla netissä maininta.

Plussat: Näköala järvelle

Plussat: Location,friendly staff,breakfast etc

Miinukset: Lack of amenities eg : face washers, tissues, additional pillows, shelving in bathroom, shompoo, hair conditioner- amenities one would expect in the price range.

Miinukset: Room was very basic, no mini bar

Plussat: the view,the location

Miinukset:

Plussat: location was good,

Miinukset: Parking would be a big problem during the week days, okay at the weekend

Plussat: Very nice people. Free use of bicycle!!

Miinukset:

Plussat: Melina and her father Marcel made us feel extemely welcome! The even showed us around and explained everything, which cannot be expectef nowadays. The rooms were clean and we had an incredible view from our room. Great breakfast, too!! We had ab amazing stay and would come back again anytime, thank you so much!!!

Plussat: Great hotel in a great location. The staff is very nice and always ready to help us. It's in front of the lake and boats so a great view. The parking is right next to the hotel. Alot of restaurants and shops around and the funicolare to Madonna del Sasso is about 1min on foot like the train station and tourism office. The room was really nice and confortable. The breakfast is great with alot of choises and the birscheli is soooo good!! I'll be back for sur in the future. Grazzie mille :)

Plussat: Perfect location. Excellent breakfast and very friendly staff.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Runsas, monipuolinen aamiainen

Miinukset: -

Plussat: Ihana superior huone järvinäkymällä ja parvekkeella, Loistava palvelu ja toimiva Wi-Fi. Aamupala myös normaalia parempi. Kaikki oli siistiä ja huoliteltua.

Miinukset: Tuplasängyssä oli vain yksi peitto, eli olisi pitänyt pyytää toinen.

Plussat: location the view breakfast was good clean and quite room

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: Location is very central & attention to detail with apples, water, chocolates in the room! Very clean!

Miinukset: When we arrived at 13:00 we were told quite rudely to go again, (it felt like we were a disturbance) and that check-in was not before 15:00. So we went exploring, however she didn’t mention that at 19:00 there was nobody at reception anymore and we were in front of a locked door! After ringing the emergency number we could access our room quite fast though. We just didn’t feel that welcome! The room & bed/duvet is very small compared to other hotels we stayed in in Locarno. breakfast was good, homemade jam etc, although almost no fresh fruit, just a few slices of pineapple. Again the eating space was small, and therefore also very noisy!

Plussat: The staff was extremely friendly, accommodating, and helpful. They gave good money-saving tips. And the location was simply unbeatable! The hotel is right on the lake, but is walking distance to the old city as well as the train station.

Miinukset: My single room was too small. If I had traveled with a suitcase (instead of a small overnight bag), it would have been a problem to open it in the room.

Plussat: (1) The hotel's location was ideal...across the street from Lago Maggiore and the boat departures, less than three minutes walk to Piazza Grande and the old town and less than five minutes by foot from the train station. (2)They were able to accommodate three people staying in one guest room.

Plussat: Location great, Amazing lake view, friendly staff

Plussat: amazing view, beautiful setting and atmosphere

Plussat: excellent boutique hotel with beautiful rooms and very friendly staff ( and owner ).

Miinukset: the duvet on our bed was exactly the size of the bed and that is simply too small!

Plussat: Loistava sijainti lähellä rautatieasemaa. Ystävällisen asiallinen henkilökunta.

Plussat: Excellent staff and location.

Miinukset: The lower-price-category room is rather small, a double bed with not much room around it. Nicely decorated, lovely bathroom, just not much room to stretch out or for baggage.

Plussat: Central location, airconditioned rooms and free wireless lan.

Miinukset: No.

Plussat: This is a smaller hotel with a perfect location for Locarno - right on the water and two to three blocks to the Piazza Grande. The hotel is charming, with a jazz them - we stayed in the Count Basie room with a balcony overlooking the waterfront - perfect! The staff was wonderfully helpful, and perhaps the only place on a two week trip where the staff was actually friendly to Americans. We loved this hotel and would highly recommend it. The slightly higher price is worth it.

Miinukset:

Plussat: Great people, location and rooms

Miinukset: A little expensive for what you get

Plussat: Very pleasant stay. The director and his wife cared about all the guests in a very satisfactory way.

Miinukset: Nein

Plussat: Large, clean family room with a nice balcony. Staff communications were helpful pre-arrival.

Miinukset: No A/C and room faced away from lake on a noisy street. Pricey for the overall location / experience. No elevator. Surrounding area has little to offer on weekends but it’s only a short walk to main areas.

Miinukset: Noisy, cheap mattresses and pillows, 3 floors with no lift, no reception. Avoid by all means.

Plussat: - nice location... central to be able to reach many areas of interest - spacious family room which was offered to us after we arrived despite having booked and paid for a smaller room - friendly staff - discount ticket valid for many activities and public transportation - 2 hours free parking in front of the hotel, free overnight (if a space is available)

Miinukset: - we had to wait outside for quite some time until someone finally opened the door to let us check in - in the evening the running water was brown... we didn‘t have a chance to talk to the staff about this due to the children being ready to go to sleep and our early departure - it was a bit noisy and bright at night in the room since it faced the main street - parking was a bit difficult to find. A spot in the parking garage was offered but the space was too small for our vehicle.

Plussat: The staff were so nice. The view was really good.

Plussat: Room 33 lovely balcony beautiful view . Comfy clean room

Miinukset: Very noisy all night long. It's right on the main street

Plussat: The view, and all the furniture and equipment ( tv, ventilation..)

Plussat: The staff was very helpful and friendly and nice, made our stay worthwhile, the view was excellent, with fairly good price, clean and lovely room. Great location from the centre, I would recommend the hotel to everybody.

Plussat: Comfortable, homely, budget hotel with a view of the lake from its terrace. Warm and friendly welcome from the host. Good location - less than 10 mins from the station. Even provided good quality hairdryer in room.

Plussat: Our room had a balcony with a lovely view of the lake, which was worth splurging on. Though small the bed was very comfortable. It also came with a fan, very welcome during a little heat wave. The room was very quiet. We easily walked from the train station there. The owner/manager was friendly.

Miinukset: Guests from other countries should make sure they tell the owner to charge credit cards in Swiss francs, not their home currency, to avoid getting poor exchange rates. He charged me in US dollars without asking. I find it impossible to evaluate the "value" of this hotel: Switzerland is just insanely expensive; nothing seems worth what it costs, but that isn't Annita's fault.

Plussat: The hotel was a good 10 minutes from the railway station, but ensured that it was a quiet stay.The owner was very friendly and helpful.

Plussat: The Hotel manager was extremely helpful,this made our stay extremely pleasant. The court yard has lovely views of the lake is surrounded by flowers, very peaceful. The room was of a good standard and lovely views of the lake. Hotel is positioned well for area not far to the centre of town and railway station. We will be staying here again. Well done to the team.

Miinukset: There was nothing here to dislike about the hotel it was above our expectations

Plussat: The manager of the hotel was absolutely one of the nicest people I have met.

Miinukset:

Plussat: Great service, great view! The breakfast was decent and they have parking. I definitely would stay again.

Miinukset:

Plussat: Hotel just ten minutes walk from train station, and bus stop right outside with good links to both Locarno and Ascona. Lake side rooms have fantastic view, but rooms on other side have noisy road.

Miinukset: The breakfast was basic continental with no fresh fruit.
