Aparthotel Al Lago in Locarno

Top

Very convenient to downtown Locarno. Staff very helpful! Breakfast excellent! Parking was tough! Very tight access and spaces. Laundry turned out to be one washer and one dryer in the basement. We had chosen the hotel specifically to be able to catch up on laundry. We thought there was a washer/dryer in each unit. It worked out ok, but we were lucky, as this turns out to be a tour hotel with many large groups. We will stay again, just understand the constraints better.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Arriving by train in Locarno, it was an easy 10 minute walk to the hotel, which sits adjacent to Lake Maggiore. Our room was spacious, with a well-eqipped kitchenette. The whole hotel - including our room, was spotlessly clean, and the staff very friendly. Breakfast was included in the price and was superb - with a selection of breads, croissants (locally made), local jams, meats and cheese. We ate breakfast outside on the terrace each day which was nice. The swimming pool was great - and again, spotlessly clean. The hotel was very conveniently located, and it was an easy walk into the main town, the furnicular railway, the nearby Locarno Lido, and the boats which ply the lake. The Ticinio Ticket (issued to us by the hotel) gave free travel on all public transport in the Ticino area, and also discounts on various attractions. The local bus and train service was efficient and reliable. We'd recommend catching the ferry to Magadino (20 minutes, and free with the Ticino ticket) where there is a lovely (stoney) beach. The trip on the Furnicular (and the church at the top) was well worth a visit. We caught the Centovalli Train to Domodosolla (over the border in Italy), which passes through stunning landscapes. Travel on this train is free with Ticino ticket as fas as the border with Itally. Another trip was on the 321 bus to the village of Sonogno (again, free with the Ticino ticket). We'd highly recommend this hotel if visiting Locarno.

We had a wonderful five-day stay at this property. Excellent lakefront location close to town center, train station, Lido, and more. Large, clean rooms, underground parking/bike storage, on-site laundry, pool, delicious breakfast, and a very friendly and helpful staff. Andrea at the front desk is delightful. Would definitely stay here again.

Lovely aparthotel that is central & easy to get to from station. Swimming pool with sunbeds to relax when back from sightseeing. Friendly staff, breakfast was included. It was great to have cooking facilities as Switzerland can be expensive for eating out. Central on lake - balcony was decked out nicely and pizzeria next door did marvelous gluten free take away pizzas so we were happy about this. Recommend this place if you want laid back, central, relaxing and a friendly self catering option.

Great stay for 2 nights - very friendly staff and we enjoyed cycling about on the hotel bikes. Very nice breakfast and all staff very accommodating

We had a wonderful stay in Aparthotel al Lago! Great price, very clean rooms and a yummy breakfast! To recommend 👍🏻

Wonderful lake front property, family friendly with pool and a nice restaurant. This is a nice place to stay with many activities possible nearby incl. tennis courts.

The cheapest choice in Locarno, by the lake and very easy to all facilities, personnel very welcoming and great breakfast. This place look like it hasn't changed since the early '80s but it is 100% maintained and really clean. Kitchen equipped. Good choice.

A bit old but nice. Good breakfast and kind stuff
