I had the opportunity to stay at the Hotel Garni du Lac last week for a business trip. The service is outstanding, the breakfast is fresh and included, the rooms were clean and the location is perfect. Shopping, outdoor cafes, lake and mountain right outside the door. I will have to find a way to bring my family over for... More

Good clean rooms and very friendly and helpful staff. We stayed 5days arriving on a Saturday night. DO close the shutters Locarno is full of rev heads on Saturday night and it can be noisy. The rest of the week its very quiet. May i make a suggestion we did not follow my own advise. They will change the doona... More

More central at such excellent cost-benefit ratio is not possible, and just a stone's throw from the ship's berth to go on a cruise across Lago Maggiore and, the rack railway to excellent vantage points, such as the pilgrimage church 'Madonna del Sasso' and Alpe di Gardada. The nearby situated Piazza Grande is just another great sight surrounded by a... More

I loved this hotel. We were helped by Rosemarie, front desk, in locating a phone number, and with train schedules. The breakfast buffet offered meat, cheese, juice, pastries, fresh-made-for-you capuchin, granola/cereal, yoghurt, breads, spreads/chocolate. When weather permits, enjoy that buffet on their terrace. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it.

I took a long time trying to decide where to stay in Locarno but definitely made the right choice. This is a delightful hotel with wonderful staff. The location is great – right on the pedestrianised Pizza Grande square and a few steps from the lakefront, ferries etc. And it’s only a couple of hundred metres of easy walking from... More

This small boutique hotel is just a stones throw form the waters edge in Locarno, Switzerland. Small but very stylish rooms can be had for a reasonable price...it is Switzerland remember! some rooms even have glimpses of the Lake, boats, and the colourful gelatarias and cafes along the shoreline.

Lovely little 3* hotel in the heart of Locarno halfway between the railway station and the Piazza Grande, so perfect for just about everything. Charming multilingual staff (German, French, English, Czech as well as Italian). My room (208) was sparkling clean, with full length windows with a wrought iron balustrade, not a balcony but I had not asked for one... More

After a few days in Zurich and Davos, we ventured down to this lovely little place along the water. WOW, it was sunny and right in the middle of a small shopping district and the old part of the city. Not that there is a huge city, just very quiet and relaxing. The hotel took great care of all of... More

We used this as a base to bungee jump the Verzasca dam, and it was a great decision. The room had a balcony that overlooked the plaza and the lake, which was very soothing. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The area is beautiful and we would consider basing here while exploring the area some more.
