We stayed three nights in Garni Nessi hotel. They gave us a bed for our baby for free. The room was quite big and the bathroom had a tube. The owner always made sure that we had a parking place. Very friendly staff. The city center can be reached in 10 min by foot from the hotel. There is also a swimming pool. We would be happy to come back to this hotel. Thank you very much for everything!

Friendly welcome and competent warm services. The summer heat became very bearable due to the new air conditioning. Room standard of the room with balcony on the fifth floor has convinced fully. Grandiose view of the hotel complex with swimming pool and of Ascona. Good breakfast offer.

Clean rooms and spacious, balcony beautiful views of pool and surroundings. Friendly staff. Good breakfast. Not in the center, but quiet. Ascona and Locarno are easily accessible by bus or on foot. Garage a bit tight, but with good driving feel feasible:)

Very good Garni hotel! The staff is attentive and friendly! That's not a given these days. The corner rooms are spacious with a beautiful view of the greenery! The pool is great. The breakfast also offers a lot. Bottles of water were also given for the journey home, nice gesture!

I've been coming here while attending the Locarno Film Festival and recommend the Garni Nessi. Cleanliness and rooms are above average; they have smaller and large rooms all of them are functionally furnished and have a minibar. The larger rooms also have a balcony. The staff are very friendly and helpful.They provide a decent continental breakfast buffet and the small pool is an added bonus.
It is a 10 minute walk to both Locarno and Losone; a five minute walk to the Centovalli train line.

The photos don't do this hotel justice (in not the normal sense). The pool is not some gigantic blue lagoon and the rooms (in our experience) have more of a youth hostel feel. That being said, the breakfasts were excellent and the location was fine for catching buses to head off exploring Locarno and its environs. The WIFI was very sketchy and the satellite TV felt like something from the 1980s. The key for the safe must have come from the Tower of London.
