A bit old but clean and functional. Directly next to the lake and city centre.

The hotel was very clean, and it was great that we had room service every day. Breakfast options were good.
It would be good if they consider renovations of rooms as there is no electrical outlet or usb chargers and perhaps new fridges in the rooms. The water in fridges (which were at a fee) were just a little better than the room tempreature.

Minies vacances à Locarno
Excellent séjour à locarno, un peu déçues par l hôtel, un peu bruyant et vieillot et cher pour un 3 étoiles

Très bien
Hôtel très bien placé, à deux pas du lac et du centre de Locarno. Possibilité de se garer dans la rue (zone bleue mais l'hôtel propose des cartes de stationnement).
Belle chambre, très spacieuse et confortable avec balcon (vue sur le lac et le parc). Très calme. Petit déjeuner buffet très complet. Excellent accueil. Nous y retournerons avec grand plaisir !

Nettes sauberes Hotel, Zimmer mit Balkon wie beschrieben. 5 min zum See und 10 min ins Zentrum. Sehr freundliche und hilfsbereite Gastgeber. Sehr empfehlenswert für einen Kurzaufenthalt in Locarno. Man erhält auch die Gästekarte mit vielen Vergünstigungen
