Reviews and Ratings
I had a delightful stay at this hotel. The rooms were absolutely spotless, which was such a bonus, and they offered a wonderful view over the city and lake. The balcony provided a lovely glimpse of the lake and mountain, adding to the charm of the room. The service was very friendly and helpful, making my stay even more enjoyable. The location, although a bit noisy if the windows are left open, was convenient, just a short walk from the train station and close to various tourist attractions. The dining experience was good enough, with a generous selection of high-quality items. The facilities were top-notch, providing everything I needed during my stay.
Upon arrival, the hotel lobby was absolutely spotless and fresh, giving a great first impression.

I stayed at this hotel and found it to be a charming stay overall. The rooms had a small balcony with a table, which was a nice touch, and the hotel's little garden with outdoor tables surrounded by flowers and plants added a lovely atmosphere. However, the shared toilet and shower could get a bit busy at times. The service was excellent with multilingual staff and convenient amenities, but the location, though practical, was a bit noisy being on a main street. The dining experience, while generous, lacked variety and quality. The facilities were adequate but nothing extraordinary.
The hotel offers a wonderful view over the city and lake but the rooms are small and some have shared bathrooms. The decor can be outdated with 1970s-style furnishings, yet the rooms are clean and fresh. The location is excellent, right in the center of town, but street noise could be an issue. The breakfast is satisfactory with a buffet selection but nothing outstanding. The service is friendly and accommodating, with helpful staff available.

I had a comfortable and very clean stay at the hotel. The room faced a quiet back yard, but the shared toilet and shower could get a bit busy at times. I politely asked for a high floor room upon arrival.
The hotel is situated on a main artery through Locarno, making it a noisy choice, but it has a small garden with seating. The rooms are attractive in decoration and very clean, though they are small.

I found the hotel to be a gem with its clean and comfortable rooms, although the bathroom and toilet being in the room might not suit everyone. The service was top-notch with really friendly and polite staff, despite some distractions while assisting guests.

The dining experience varied, with generous breakfast offerings but limited quality choices. Overall, a decent stay with a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel offers a spacious room with a balcony featuring a bit of lake and mountain view. However, the decor with 1970s orange curtains, yellow walls, and candlewick bedspreads was quite outdated. The room was spacious but poorly decorated.
