Locarno hotellit lähellä Madonna del Sasso

Plussat: The staff was very helpful and kind. I loved taking the Funiculare to go back anf forth. The landscape is truly beautiful. We got a Ticino card free of charge and a free shuttle service back to the train station after our check-out.

Miinukset: The stay was a bit overpriced, beware of water bottles costing 9CHF.

Plussat: Modern design and friendly staff We felt welcome at the hotel despite coming with 3 young kids. Excellent breakfast, very nice swimming pool and entertainment area on the roof top garden.

Plussat: All is very nice , Greetings to the owner ! All they really make a good good job

Plussat: Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Plussat: Breakfast, facilities and cleanliness

Miinukset: The walk to the center is quite steep back and forthver

Plussat: Nice big room w lake view. Ac for comfort. Formidable staff in reception and in restaurant- all of them very friendly and helpful.

Plussat: Beautiful room with balcony and view

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Very professional, discreet and attentive staff. Pleasant view from the spacious balcony. Close walking distance to the old town (and cable car stop directly next door for the steep ride back). Perfectly clean room. Small spa area with swimmable 17m pool exceeded expectations.

Miinukset: The pool water could be a bit warmer (it was around 27-29 degrees, which was pleasant for swimming, but a bit cool for just laying inside). I would love if the WiFi signal reached the balcony.

Miinukset: Many ants on the balcony

Plussat: The hotel is slightly above the town and has lovely lake views. It is very smart, clean and stylishly decorated. We had a suite and it was very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was excellent and there was plenty of food, which was regularly replenished, despite the hotel being very full over the weekend.

Miinukset: The reception staff were fine but not very friendly. They sit down below a big desk so you don't make eye contact as you go back and to through reception which makes them seem more remote than is helpful. The barman, when he eventually arrived in the bar, on the one night we ate in, was useless, too busy trying to make jokes instead of doing his job and actually giving you the drink you want. The waiters that night were typical hotel waiters, looking busy but doing little. The food took ages and was not brilliant. There are many lovely restaurants nearby as we soon found out. Also we were very disappointed not to be able to relax in the garden on Saturday afternoon because it was let for a wedding reception from 7pm. It would have been fine to ask hotel guests to leave at 6pm but they messed about setting up tables etc from about 3pm which was not at all relaxing for those of us who tried to sit it out. They actually had very little to do to set up and should have let their hotel guests enjoy this facility for longer. The room rates are significant so to have effectively sold the use of the garden twice that afternoon was not acceptable. Also when we left we asked the hotel to book us a taxi down into town. It isn't far and we usually walked but it was hot and we had our bags. When we arrived we had had a taxi and it cost 8 francs. The one the hotel booked charged 15 francs which is ridiculous for such a short journey. He drove like a lunatic. He might not have been one of the hotel's staff but they booked him so his service reflects on the hotel.

Plussat: Very convenient location, lovely and helpful staff (Giacomo and Françoise)

Plussat: Everything is great! Super modern rooms, air conditioning, great beds, the breakfast nice and the staff is amazing, really makes you feel like home. It's the second time I've been here and I'm definitely coming back.

Miinukset: I loved everything

Plussat: Location, modern clean spacious room.

Miinukset: Bed too close to wall.

Plussat: Very helpful Reception, rooms small but immaculate, very close to lakeside, parking.

Plussat: Very friendly and helpful staff, very clean, good selection for breakfast. The aircon in the first rood did not work and we were upgraded for free to bigger room with a terrace and working aircon, thank you!

Miinukset: Location is good but not great. You do not see much from you room but train station or side streets. Hotel parking is promised for free, but it was full. I had to use public parking instead. Not big problem though.

Plussat: Room very small bed very uncomfortable

Miinukset: staff and location

Plussat: Friendly professional helpful staff Fab breakfast

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: It is conveniently located across the train station but is not noisy. The breakfast was excellent. The staff/owner of the hotel was very friendly and amicable.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: L

Miinukset: Large room with plenty of windows for air circulation. The room was at the back of the property but was very quiet. Railway and bus station opposite. Great restaurants 5 minutes away. Also close to Lake Locarno. All in all very good

Plussat: Giacomo was warm, friendly and quick to enjoy a joke -extra engaging. Francoise was very helpful.

Plussat: Great location, very good breakfast . The egg “station” is really good. WiFi is good. Parking under the hotel is very convenient.

Miinukset: The room. It was full of cobwebs on the ceiling. (The cleaner must be very short.)The extractor in the bathroom was filthy. The smell!! (In the bathroom) If we’d stayed for more than one night we’d have asked to move rooms. The tv. Why oh why can’t we have control over the tv settings??? In this day and age!! I know for a fact that we can get dual language on a lot of channels, but it’s deactivated in this hotel. (Ok if you’re Italian) And before the hotel says that its policy in most hotels, it’s not. We stayed in four hotels the week prior and every one had the dual language function. This hotel really needs dragging into the present! 340chf for this??

Plussat: Big bed is good, food is good, view at balcony beautiful.

Plussat: Perfect location, very nice rooms

Miinukset: Breakfast buffet could have more selection

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Very small swimming pool

Plussat: Everything was perfect

Miinukset: wanted lakeview but was not confirmed. Next time cancelation

Plussat: great bed, great breakfast, big room, tea and coffee maker in the room, great Aperol spritz:) everything was perfect...

Miinukset: bigger space for car in the garage

Plussat: Hotel is very easy to find and is in a great location. We were very pleased with the size of our room. The balcony was also a good size with a side view of the lake. It is within easy walking distance of the town and lakeside walk. There are lots of restaurants within walking distance too. Breakfast was included and even though we arrived for breakfast 10 mins after the end of breakfast time, the staff set up a table for us and helped us to get what we wanted to eat. This is also very dog friendly hotel. We will stay at this hotel again in the future.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Location great

Plussat: Good location. Employees trying to do their best in a difficult environment (see below).

Miinukset: Run down, dirty carpets, loud air conditioning. Low quality breakfast (convenience food only, cheapest eggs, neither local cheese nor anything else local, toaster out of service for several days, bread old and odd etc.). Room was never vacuumed during our four day stay, dust hanging out of damaged airing hole in the bathroom, empty body lotion was not replaced, two half empty bottles of water and coke in the minibar when we arrived etc. Price way too high.

Plussat: Greeting on arrival and polite and answer and offer help for any issue you have Perfect Nice people.

Plussat: Bed comfy, breakfast excellent, tv good, cleanliness very good, close to bus

Miinukset: Great for price.

Plussat: The staff were very friendly and efficient. They were also extremely flexible in practical matters such as parking and check-in hours.

Plussat: Warm staff welcome and lovely location. You can reach the town centre and the lake within 20 minutes by walk. One of the member of staff also offered us card that gave us free travel on busses as well as discount on other tourists attractions, all for free. The breakfast buffet was quite various and everything was delicious.

Miinukset: The shared toilet outside the rooms on the third floor was a little bit of a disappointment for such a lovely hotel. We booked less than 24 hours prior to our stay so the only room available for 3 people happened to be on that floor, but we found the price was not fair for a room without a toilet. I later realised it is mentioned, but you don't know how many people you actually share the toilet with. We only stayed for one night so it was not a big issue in the end but it's worth considering, especially as it is only one toilet seat for 10 rooms and same goes for the shower. Luckily we found both spotless.

Plussat: Service and decor. Newly refurbished!

Plussat: Very well situated and super friendly staff. A nice little breakfast but all was very clean and neat

Plussat: Very polite staff, cleanliness, comfortable beds, free parking place behind the hotel

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Beautiful building - good location

Miinukset: Room was very small didn’t expect an attic or share a bathroom.

Plussat: Close to the lake and station, friendly staff, good breakfast.

Miinukset: We had a room with shared bathroom facilities. The thing is that 6 rooms share one toilet and one shower, which can get quite busy in the morning or evening.

Plussat: Close to the city center.

Miinukset: Poor breakfast, staff is cold, expensive. You don't ask...you don't get. We needed to ask them even to start the room heating. They said nothing about Ticino card, they charge for parking, and they promised a room with a view on the lake, but of course it was not posible... We left after the first night, for another hotel, cheaper and far, far beter, in the first line on the lake, with lake view from our room.

Plussat: Clean good position

Miinukset: I was the only guest for 2 nights so quiet and I was alone.

Plussat: Friendly, accommodating staff with a great, handy location. Free coffee!

Plussat: It was a great place. First time with a hostal and was very good. We loved everything!

Plussat: Fantastic place to stay the night! Would highly recommend! Staff were really friendly, room was great, a great little place! Everything clean and tidy :)

Plussat: Typical traditional Tessin breakfast with regional products. There was enough for everybody and when something was over the Staff were very fast briging more. There is a play room just by the side of the restaurant. Play room has nice toys and book that kept my kids for long entrainteined. Hostel is very well located in the old city and close to several bus station.

Miinukset: No bathroom in our room.

Plussat: The friendliness of the staff, the amazing location and the ease of access. The staff was helpful in informing us about events and locations in the city.

Miinukset: the breakfast could have been a bit more varied. But at this price in Switzerland, it is certainly nothing to complain about.

Plussat: I loved the architecture and everything was very clean

Miinukset: Beds very very hard and can hear the people above you

Plussat: Very welcoming, friendly, helpful staff.

Miinukset: All good. More expensive than Italy but I guess that’s Switzerland.!

Plussat: Casa DaVinci is a wonderful place to stay in Locarno. Located in the heart of the city with nice and clean rooms and a very cosy atmosphere. We totally recommend it!

Miinukset: The breakfast could be improved a bit.

Plussat: The staff were very helpful and friendly. They made my trip to the area better than expected. The facilities were comfortable, clean, and a great value. I felt safe as a single female traveler. I enjoyed light breakfast too. My stay at Casa da Vinci was all around a great experience!
