Hotels in Locarno

I have been coming to this hotel for 12 years and I love how I always get the same room I love the restaurant and the pools and find everything amazing

Excellent! True five star service, professional and warm.

Breathtaking property with professionell staff that were always very attentive. DAVIDE from Concierge Was extremly helpful at all times! His recomemdations in the City was really great. We took the e-bikes to the City and back. The beach Bar was out of this World. Breakfast spread was very good.

The Hotel is, without a doubt, one of the finest hotels we've had the pleasure of staying in. Everything here exudes quiet luxury – not the flashy kind, but the kind that whispers “old money” and glides rather than walks. The service is immaculate. Never fussy, always flawlessly timed, the staff knows when to appear and assist and, more importantly, when not to. The rooms? Spotless, polished, and...

This hotel, with its expansive grounds, is truly unique. It is well-run, boasting an excellent kitchen, including a delicious Friday night seafood buffet offering a wide variety of fish. The well-furnished bar, deck chairs, and friendly, creative service on the lake shore enhance the charm of this fairy-tale setting.

A charming and extraordinary Hotel and Setting. Most competent and friendly staff. Outstanding cuisine including Breakfast Buffet. The Seafood Buffet on Fridays a special treat and alone worth a visit. The vineyards and their own production and tasting a great experience. Most of all the staff - from Management to Service level friendly and prepared to address you by your name

The hotel is right on the lake, a fantastic location.

Very friendly and accommodating. Super central location. A great starting point for various mountain hikes in the area. Excellent public transport connections.

Nice location - easy walking to train, along lake ( both directions) and dining options Older building needing some upgrades (eg outlets for the floor lamp and coffee maker!) Lobby a bit tight, and understaffed at checkin.

The hotel is nice but a little bit old. The carpet is in an awful state. Except from that the rooms are big and clean.The breakfast is excellent with quality products. The situation by the lake but fairly close to the train station is excellent. I recommend it

The hotel's location was fantastic!

Older property that seemed worn in areas, especially hallways to rooms. Breakfast buffet was plentiful, but not tasty at all.

Nice hotel, conveniently located on the lakeside, close to the train station. Rooms, facing the lake, are spacious and clean. Good amount of amenities. I enjoyed the Nespresso coffee machine (real coffee, not the instant one). Staff was friendly and competent, helped us a lot by answering all the questions we had

Rooms and bathroom were vet clean and good size, great views of the lake from private balcony, and close to train . The staff were super friendly, helpful and accommodating. Best hotel from our trip through Italy in way to Switzerland and France,

Fantastic location and the lake view from the balcony is amazing

Perfection with one glaring issue: DOGS Amazing stay, loved it, it was literally perfection with the expedition of so many people allowed with dogs at the restaurant it seemed a bit off and kinda off putting but other than that would stay again. And highly recommend.

There is no water heater in the room, and I won't give it if I ask for it. Parking is inconvenient. The bathroom is not good, there is no place to hang towels. There is only one curtain in the shower

The room, view, staff and breakfast were exceptional! The quality of food served at breakfast is really uncommon - everything was delicious.

The location is exceptional. Free tea and coffee available at all times. The breakfast buffet is magnificent. I highly recommend it.

The hotel is very well located, with a beautiful view, and it's exceptionally clean. The staff are friendly, very attentive, and speak French, which wasn't always the case in the surrounding restaurants. The establishment also offers 10% discount vouchers for some of its restaurants, which is a nice touch. We also had the good fortune to receive vouchers for Migros as well as free public transport...

Great location 👍 Friendly staff Nice, clean room

The location was perfect, 10 minutes from the Piazza Grande. Very friendly and nice staff. The breakfast was sufficient for me. Overall, the value for money is very good.

Very nice and well located hotel.

Best location in front of the lake and in front of the station using the exit on the 2nd floor. Very clean room with window overlooking the lake and breakfast is simple but enough with also view. All staffs are friendly and kind. I would like to stay here again next time.

Everything was fine. Reccomended!

The hotel is beautiful. We managed to secure a room with a view of the lake. Very clean. Staff are very helpful and welcoming. Breakfast was lovely with a wide choice. Location is walking distance from food, shops and buses.

The Hotel Muralto was excellent! First class. We loved it!

Very clean. Basic but functional and good location.

Hotel Muralto was an excellent choice which was made even better by the staff at the front desk. Sandro was very professional and very helpful. The rooms was perfect and the location was perfect. Restaurants were within walking distance. We would certainly stay at Hotel Muralto again.

after baddest experience with ibis, I must admit this is a very nice hotel, just 5min walk from the train slation, just a little higher up, offering a nice view of the lake even from lateral hotel windows. modern ambiente, upgraded facilities, comfy lobby and fast WiFi, will chose this again in march.

All Staff are excellent, Gabriella 💎 thank you, rooms are confortable, breakfast is great, location is ideal for all, walks, funicular, buses and trains. Grazie Mille

Very nice hotel with good location close to sea and to train station. Discovered too late that GF bread must be ordered in advance. But why don’t they have some in the future. On the booking site you get the impression that room has balcony, but in reality only French balcony.

We are here right now and the best part about it is the location. It is situated right in the middel of the train station, the promenade and the town square. That also means it can be noisy as the sound from the restaurant below and streets come up but that is ok thus far. Other positives - + coffee machine + upgraded to balcony with a bit of a view on lake maggiore + clean room Then - It is no one...

We had a great stay at the hotel. Particularly noteworthy was the friendliness and helpiness of the ladies at the reception and at the breakfast buffet. The hotel is excellently located in the center and is easily accessible, clean rooms and a good service. We will be back for sure.

Nice hotel in central location. Nice hotel in a marvellous central location. The rooms were quite new and even if its 15m2 it feels very spacious. The breakfast is great for a 3 star hotel. Only downside was the outside noise still late in the evening / night coming from the surroundings. We went here earlier and we didnt notice it, but this time (Fri/Sat) the youth was hanging around and making lots...

Nice Hotel in centric location, fair priced, nice staff. Close to lake and shopping and eating. Abit loud if you are towards the street and parking is in a public parking. Great breakfast incl. with great view.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The staff was very friendly. The room was lovely and simple with a comfortable bed. The breakfast was good. The location between Ascona and Locarno was excellent. The Ticino Card allows free use of public transport. The pool area was spacious with comfortable sun loungers.

Very spacious room with bathroom , fridge, safe (didn't work) and balcony. Breakfast was acceptable. The only elevator is very small. Nothing special in the area. To reach the lake you have to walk half an hour.

We stayed in Nessi last weekend. We were supposed to leave on Sunday. But then there was the hail storm on Friday evening....we were forced to stay longer due to our car being damaged. The staff was great and rebooked us to an other room. All of you were very understanding but I'd like to single out Alice and Sophie, as we had the most contact with these two ladies. The rooms were good and clean...

Does the trick. Pool is a nice refreshing every evening. Rooms made noises we could not explain (pool pump ran through the night?) Decor a bit "cold", and bathroom had the shower head mounted on chest height (this is common for Italian hotels, to be fair, but annoying for any North European)

Convenient for a stopover stay when on the way to your final destination in the Ticino valleys.

Positives: Parking on site. They gave us bigger than the room we have booked. Thanks. It was nice room with good view in the morning. Negatives: The breakfast is one of the poorest i have ever seen with a plate of yellow cheese and a plate of sausage.The coffee was terrible. The other food was some creams and yoghurt, some cornflakes.

We spent three nights at this hotel and everything was perfect! The pool is lovely, the breakfast was varied and delicious, and we really appreciated the thoughtful touches throughout our stay. The staff are truly wonderful, always smiling and attentive. A beautiful and relaxing break – I highly recommend this hotel! 😊

Arrive and feel at home! It's a shame we were only here for the weekend! It was a wonderful stay, not least thanks to the attentive, friendly, and welcoming staff. A small menu by the pool offered delicious food. The breakfast was fantastic: wow! Some much larger hotels could learn a thing or two from them! The beds were incredibly comfortable! The rooms were beautifully furnished and decorated...

The hotel is very well located and beautifully quiet. We received an upgrade with a lake view, thank you very much for that ☺️ The staff was very friendly, attentive, and helpful. We would love to come back. Thank you to the entire team 🥹🍀🥹

A warm welcome with competent service. Well-equipped rooms with extremely comfortable beds. An excellent, extensive breakfast buffet. A prime location with convenient bus connections to Locarno and Ascona (every 10-15 minutes).

Located just outside of Locarno, this is the perfect hotel for a Ticino vacation. A friendly welcome, clean rooms, and a breakfast buffet that leaves nothing to be desired. The pool with loungers is another plus. I would happily recommend it.

We're always happy to take a spontaneous, fine-weather trip to Switzerland's sunny side. At the Garni Smart Hotel, bookings are easy by phone, even if you're only staying one or two nights. The reception is always friendly, and their recommendations for good restaurants leave nothing to be desired. The breakfast buffet is also excellent. The rooms may be small, but they're functionally furnished, and...

The hotel is directly next to the train station, which is convenient. It is a charming building, nicely renovated and modernized, very clean. The personnel is friendly and professional. The front desk closes at 8:00pm, so you need to check in before that. The breakfast is nice, and they cook eggs for you. You can use the automated coffee machine in the breakfast room all day at no cost. Good value

Recently we spent 4 nights at the Hotel Garni Rio. The hotel is located next to the main train station in Locarno. There is also bus service in front of the station which makes it very easy to get around both Locarno and Ascona. The Piazza Grande is only a short walk from the hotel. Boat service to the Isole de Brissago is also only minutes away from the hotel on foot. The hotel is very clean and well...

Paring, still have to use stairs with luggage when you park. My morning staff person (Vincent ? 04/25/26; hope that's your name) was absolutely amazing

Friendly, clean, close to Old Town—air conditioning! Recommended!

Clean, comfortable and well located hotel with very friendly and helpful staff. Parking available and convenient. Decent breakfast and coffee. Only let down was the bathroom in the economy room…. It has frosted glass walls (you can see quite a bit through these walls) that do not run floor to ceiling, making it very awkward given I stayed here with a friend. We did our best with it, but it would stop...

The hotel is centrally located, is clean, the staff is very friendly and accommodating and the breakfast is sufficient (there is sure to be something for everyone). We would book this hotel again.

Amazing staff, great room, and great breakfast

Need to take bus from Locarno train station. Good breakfast and staff are friendly. Clean room and with good size for family.

A quiet small hotel sitting above the Lage Maggiore which is a 10 minute walk away. Very friendly service and good breakfast offering. Fridge in the room. Beds was too soft for me. Rather old-fashioned look of the room and bathroom and very small TV.

Great place to stay, delicious breakfast

Magnificent small hotel decorated with charm, quiet and very well located. The rooms are clean and well equipped. Owners close to customers, caring and welcoming. Simple breakfast with choice and fresh products. Thanks, we will come back if we are in the area.

Very lovely hotel and good service. The staff are very kind. We like the breakfast.

We organized our wedding weekend at Giardino Lago, and it was truly a dream come true! The location, food, rooms, and organization were all impeccable — not a single thing to complain about. There are two things I especially want to highlight. First, Sandro, the general manager, was incredibly helpful from our very first contact during the planning phase all the way until checkout. He was always professional...

A romantic setting — cozy lighting, elegant decor, and a warm, intimate atmosphere that made it feel truly special. The food was ok, the service attentive, and the overall experience great.

Wonderful small hotel right on the lake. Hotel provides bicycles and paddle boards. Great service. There are restaurant and roof-top bar on premises. Gelato truck right next to hotel. We'd like to come and stay again.

Giardino Lago is a gem of a hotel - an all-around gem. The location, right on the lake, is peaceful; a truly beautiful setting. The rooms were comfortable and welcoming (with AC). I loved riding the hotel's provided bikes into town - only 9 minutes away. It was perfect! I cam away happy with all my needs met when I stayed there.

Great location and well maintained. The star of the hotel, Philip was expert at his job and made you feel at home. We spoke kindly of both of our grandfathers. Thanks, Philip. Very great dinner... so tasty of very gourmet. I will be back to visit.

Andre and Andrea are super nice, polite and fully dedicated to the customers. The rooms and bathroom are clean, very nice simple decorated. The breakfast is also very well organized and good. The Location is another plus. We had a lovely stay. Vielen Dank Andrea & Andre.

Excellent hotel in all areas - great location, super friendly owners and staff, clean, delicious breakfast. We did not want to leave. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Excellent location on lake, near train and bus stops. Room had great amenities for a 3 star. Lots of character and a lovely breakfast.

Excellent accommodation! This is a charming, sweet, exceedingly clean property with lovely sunlit rooms, fantastic lake and pre-alp views, and pleasant staff. The included breakfast was very good and the location wonderful. So happy to have stayed here!

Receptionist was professional . Excellent location. Close to train station and old town.

A beautiful, cute hotel right by the lake. Very convenient for the railway station and ferry service. Staff were so friendly. Highly recommended

Review for Hotel Alexandra, Locarno Very helpful staff, we have recommended the hotel to our daughter. Good location, & bus stop out the front. A buffer breakfast was included, & it offered a nice variety of options.

A very cordial and warmly run hotel. Small but nice with staff who read your wishes from your lips. Really highly recommended! A 10-minute walk from the centre. There is a bus stop directly in front of the hotel. And not far from good shopping facilities (Denner and Migros).

Very nice staff nice rooms affordable prices

Perfect. This truly was one of the best hotels we’ve ever stayed at. The hospitality, the room, the breakfast, bus passes, the beauty, everything was perfect and would definitely recommend and return.

Very Italy, in Switzerland good location at a fair price, 10 min walk to lake.

Close to the center, yet in a quiet location. The city center and train station are easily accessible on foot. Personally run hotel, friendly reception, and everything very clean. Good breakfast with fresh fruit salad, homemade yogurt, and a variety of breads.

A lovely little hotel, quiet and very close to Locarno's city center. The owners, a couple from Ticino, speak all three national languages ​​perfectly and are very welcoming! The room was spacious with a balcony overlooking a park, and the bedding was comfortable. Breakfast was good, featuring local products, but there's no restaurant on site. There's no parking, but you can get a permit for the blue...

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.

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

Very nice hotel, small but nice. Nice rooms with balconies and a very nice breakfast buffet. Nice hosts who will fulfill your every wish. We can only recommend it!

simple, but everything it takes. Partly very small rooms

Our check-in was fantastic as we were provided some options for things to do and sights to see. The hotel is conveniently located in a cute square with multiple restaurants and the hotel’s restaurant has fabulous Mushroom risotto and Aperol Spritz.

The Hotel America is located right on Locarno's wonderful Piazza Grande. Here you can enjoy Mediterranean piazza life to the fullest. The rooms are clean and the prices are relatively reasonable, but it is advisable to book early and online. You can have brunch in the Hotel-café on the piazza in the morning, but this is charged separately. If you enjoy spending hours with friends in the balmy air,...

charming hotel, front desk guy was SO helpful & nice. it is hard to find - i stopped at a pharmacy to ask for location, they didn't know & it was about 3 minute walking beyond. to find it, you can walk from the train station (10-15 min) towards the main plaza, keep going almost to the end. on the right tucked in the back, after the shops, is the entrance. only complaint is no tv channels in english...

Last year in 2022, my daughter and I had an excellent culinary experience at this restaurant! I had the Pizza Forestiere and my daughter the Scialatielli con pomodorini. The best pizza I've ever had, and impossible to reproduce at home, as well as the Scialatielli. We had to wait almost a year before we could enjoy this wonderful food again - and we're good cooks! Finally, last week we managed it,...

The stuff is very friendly and fast. Paccheri are tasty (both, with sausage and vegetarian). The location is great, the price is very good for such place. They have outdoor seats directly at the piazza. There is also a hotel. Shade available, so you don’t burn in the sun.

Delicious pizza, drinks and desserts! Pizza was so good, we ordered a second pizza! Pepe, our waiter, was amazing, fun, entertaining and very hospitable! We sat outside in the rain under the canopy. We’ll be back tomorrow night for dinner!

What an incredible experience. My stay here reminded me of what hospitality should be. Each and every member of the staff went above and beyond to make sure my stay was seamless and enjoyable. I especially appreciated each of their good nature - incredibly kind and warm people. The views are stellar, rooms are very generous in size and the pool and gardens are serene. I can’t recommend this place...

We loved our time here. The staff are fantastic and made us feel very welcome. The views from the room and terraces are spectacular. We hadn't planned on eating here every evening but anywhere else would have been a disappointment.

During our trip to Switzerland in May 2024, the 2 night stay at the Villa Orselina was the climax. The rooms with balcony were large. Views excellent. Food was simply superb with several exquisite complimentaries from the kitchen. Breakfast spread was filling. The number of staff for a small hotel was quite large, a rarity in Switzerland. Each staff member made efforts to make us feel special. Visiting...

Great hotel overlooking the Swiss side of Lago Maggiore. We stayed 3 nights here in early September. - Hotel is an older hotel but has been updated over time. Some vintage furniture and design in some places and very new touches in others, which might not be desirable for some people. Overall the aesthetics were pleasant and the view is one of the best hotel views on the lake. If I had to change...

Absolutely incredible hotel and the best staff we have ever met! From the moment we walked in to celebrate our honeymoon we felt like royalty! From a gorgeous room upgrade upon arrival to small touches of warmth and kindness throughout our week stay - we wish we could give this wonderful resort a 100000 more stars! Thank you for making our stay so memorable and incredible! So grateful to have found...

Wonderful garden and pool with stunning views over Lago Maggiore… the food at the Restaurant is great, the wine overpriced. The only thing we really did not like that much was the room which really needs renovation. The bed was not comfortable and it was super hot during nights. The aircon didn’t really work… albeit being the entry level room, it was just too small for a 5star hotel. We would love...

Parking across a side street in city garage, reasonable.

I have a room with adjoining rooms for 3 pax. The room is clean and has basic amenities. The location is good - center and easy walking distance to places of interest... And just across the station. Breakfast spread was standard but good.

This is a fantastic friendly hotel, location is ideal for train station. Rooms have air conditioning, breakfast is wonderful, croissants, eggs, bread and cheese. Cereals juice and coffee. Absolutely perfect for our short stay. I doubt you will find a nicer welcome.

We used this hotel only for a night on our northern Italy-Swiss tour. Hotel is in the central location, across the bus/train station and 5 min walk from old town. Rooms are very basic as well the bathroom, but clean. Ask for back side rooms as they're quiet. Breakfast was average, good enough to start a day and keep you fed. They offer reduced parking rates in the nearby garage (around 18 CHF), but...

Great spot, close to train station

Excellent central location (right next to Locarno train station), yet peaceful. Great value for money, with a very friendly and helpful team.

This historic hotel is modernised to a high standard. It is very clean and comfortable. We had a lake facing room with a balcony and the views were magical. The staff were helpful and friendly. The restaurant serves high quality food and is popular. Booking is advised. The funicular railway is nearby and this saves walking up the steep hill into the town. The hotel has its own request stop. Buy tickets...

Comfortable hotel in a well-known spot in Locarno, very close to the town centre. It is on the slope on the way to Madonna del Sasso, can reach either the town or the convent in 10-15 mins by foot. Rooms were nice, and we were in the new wing. Nice room overlooking the lake. With young children, note that there are a number of sharp corners in the room, so please take extra care. Hotel has their own...

Very nice hotel and the location is beautiful.

Beautiful hotel, excellent service, great restaurant

Our Comfort Chic double room with a lake view was spacious and featured a large balcony with a beautiful view of Lake Maggiore. While the room's style felt a bit outdated, it didn’t detract from the overall positive experience, as everything else was excellent. The bathroom was modern with great shower pressure. Parking is available on-site. The restaurant, La Fontana, served fantastic food, making...

I loved it, would have enjoyed the pool

I recently stayed at this hotel and had a wonderful experience. The location is absolutely perfect, with easy access to all major attractions — whether you’re walking or using public transportation. From the moment I arrived, the reception staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. They answered all my questions patiently and even gave great tips for things to do around the city. Their warm welcome...

Great location near train station, Lake Maggiore, Grand Piazza. Owner opened hotel a year ago and renovations are ongoing. He and staff are very kind and helpful. While our room was small, the bed was very comfortable and we enjoyed the view sitting on the balcony. Nice breakfast too.

This was a nice hotel right in the middle of town - easy to walk to fron the train station. The staff was very friendly and helpful, the room simple but clean and orderly, and the breakfast kept me going until night

This unpretentious hotel is perfect if you're looking for a one-night stay before the foliage train returns, as we did. It's close to the train station and a 5-minute walk from Piazza Grande. Our room's balcony also had a view of the lake (just steps from the hotel). The room was average in size, small but equipped with all the essentials. The bathroom also had everything you need for a short stay...

Great hotel, worth the money, a basic room but spotless and everything you need. Clean bathroom. Great views over the lake from the balcony. Perfect breakfast with lots of options, and the most friendly and welcoming staff! Would definitely stay here again and recommend to anyone visiting Locarno.

Returning to Sardinia after a vacation in beautiful Locarno, I was deeply saddened to leave the "La Rondinella" hotel this morning, where I felt right at home. I agree with all the positive reviews left by other guests. A 2-star hotel with at least 3-star service! 😁! Spacious, comfortable, and above all, spotlessly clean rooms. Very comfortable mattresses and pillows. Authentic and varied breakfast...

Single room was small but very comfortable (1 week with half board). The food was delicious. The half board includes a 4-course menu in the evening. I don't eat meat and the boss Mr. Zimmermann made it possible for me to get a delicious fish or vegetarian alternative every day. As for the service staff, I would particularly like to thank Roswitha and the ladies from the breakfast service, who were...

Quite old, but renovated hotel with nice view, swimming pool, sauna and excellent breakfast. You will be served with various tasty sorts of cheese and their own grape. Very diligent and polite staff puts a lot of effort so that their guests feel cosy. Downside is poor public transportation and limited parking lot that is against surcharge.

We highly recommend that hotel. Very friendly people, great service, clean rooms and a beautiful location

Quiet place. Nice point of view. The room we've got was clean and fully renovated. But the owners have to think to renovated the rest of the hôtel. The bar under the Hotel is owned by a really unpleasant and impolite old woman. We prefered to go to the beautiful bar down the road.

Great view, friendly people, very nice swimming pool, room is okay, but no airco
