We stayed in Locarno for three nights and picked the hotel due to its central location close to the railway station as we were dependent on public transportation for our day trips into the valleys. Our room had a beautiful view onto the lake and was very spacious for Swiss standards. Furnishing is simple and minimal but had everything we... More

We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights. Everything is great except it is too humid in the room. There is no aircon and this could be quite unbearable if it's warm. We are at the 6th floor, eventhough there is free wifi, but the signal is very weak. Every time when we need to surf with our cell phone,... More

My two friends and I stayed here for three nights in May 2011. The location of the hotel for the cost is excellent; very central, right in the 'corner' of the lake-front area and quite literally three minutes walk downhill from the railway station by the shortest route. I made the booking using an on-line discount agency and the whole... More

We had 3 rooms on one of the higher floors in the old section. The rooms were were very light and had excellent views of the lake. The location of the hotel is excellent. It is right by the lake and in close walking distance to the main square and the train station. The bathrooms were very adequate. The breakfast... More

Stayed here for three day using it as one of our bases for a rail tour of Switzerland and chose it originally for its proximity to the rail station (100 metres). We were very pleased with our choice, having been given a room with a balcony on the top floor with a superb view of the lake. The lift to... More

Spent only one night here on our whistle - stop tour of Switzerland. Adjacent to railway station, if travelling by train there is a short walk from the platform to the second floor of the hotel. (From platform go the opposite direction to the town - not well signed). We were given a lake view room which was stunning. Nice... More

A good choice in Locarno. It isn't a great Hotel but I think is one of the best options in Locarno. Situated not in the city center, but just short walk to the center. They don't have parking, but is not so complicated to find a street park (pay). The room was clean, the breakfast was OK (good views). Negative... More

Excellent location overlooking lake, close to train station yet quiet. We stayed in newly refurbished rooms with triple glazing and own balcony and en-suite shower room. Breakfast on terrace. No tea and coffee facilities in room but available at any time from restaurant (CHF3). Switzerland and Locarno is expensive (we paid GBP120 per room per night) but worth it. Breakfast... More

I have never written a hotel review before, but found the Trip Advisor site so helpful that I wanted to give the same help to others. This hotel is so beautifully situated, just by the lake shore, and literally five minutes from the station--but with none of the sleaziness sometimes associated with hotels near stations. Spotlessly clean bedrooms (and everything... More
