FAQs about hotels in Locarno








A Sunny Swiss Corner

Locarno is a gorgeous destination on the shores of Lake Maggiore, featuring the warmest climate in Switzerland. Situated at the foot of the Alps, this colourful Swiss city is home to the world-famous Locarno International Film Festival.

Considered to be designed by Leonardo da Vinci, the 13th-century Visconteo Castle houses an important archaeological museum. The historic pilgrimage church of Madonna del Sasso stands proud above the city, overlooking an inviting harbour.

Travellers can stroll around the narrow alleys of the old town, visit one of the antique shops, admire the old churches with Italian Baroque style or dine in one of the traditional restaurants near the main square of Piazza Grande. During the winter months they can also go for skiing or hiking on the Cardada Cimetta Mountain using the cable car.

Nature lovers will have the opportunity to swim in the blue waters of the Lago Maggiore, wander around the aromatic citrus trees and relax in the vineyards of the hills behind Locarno.

    A small, yet beautiful city on the Swiss part of Lago Maggiore which, for those who are on a circuit, is a must-come-to in order to visit Sacro Monte Madonna del Sasso. A jewel with an amazing view over the city and the lake, accessible both by foot or by the funicular (lovely).

    Awesome small town on the shore of Lago Maggiore.

    Awesome small town on the shore of Lago Maggiore. Clean, all buildings and streets are perfectly maintained. Very green, extremely picturesque - placed between Alps slopes and lake shores , with palms and lot of flowers growing around. Small but beautiful Old town, tasteful food. Just a small heaven on Earth, it still is expensive.

    Locarno has a lovely location on the shores of Lake Maggiore. In addition Locarno has developed a continuous walking and bicycle trail along the lake. We spent half a day walking to Ascona - another lake town. Another day we took the train 30 minutes to Bellinzona to explore the UNESCO world heritage castles.

    The best part of the hotel was the staff. The receptionist was very friendly and helpful. She gave us many tips and a lot of advice on the things to do in Locarno and its surroundings, gave a few names of amazing restaurants (do listen to her advice, we were never disappointed!). The location of the hotel is perfect, very close to everything (station, city centre, restaurants). The rooms are really cute and clean and so are the bathrooms. Will definitely go back there for my next stay in Locarno without a doubt! I highly recommend it!

    Super great stay, they took excellent care of my food allergies- gluten free and lactose free. I had enough breakfast options. Only the parking was not included so you have to park across the street, but you only need to feed the meter 2 CHF 2x per day. That was no issue, we did it during dog walks. The rooms were great, nice lake view balcony(have to book for this-worth it). Extremely dog friendly and a great location to jog from! You can just go and jump in the lake to cool down in summer, which is a must in beautiful Locarno summer days!

    The hotel was next to the train station, which was extremely helpful. The staff was extremely nice and accommodating. At one point, my key card stopped working to allow us to get into the building and our room. I called the contact number for the hotel found in the email. They answered immediately and one of the staff left her home minutes away to come let us in and get us a new key card. It was amazing! They also allowed us to store our bags there after we had checked out and we’re waiting for another train. Amazing staff!

    Location was breathtaking, view from our balcony to the lake was the highlight of the trip. The room was large and comfortable including a small loveseat sofa (fits 2 snuggly) and a separate chair. Breakfast was very good. The walk to the main plaza was just a few minutes away downhill. Staff was very professional and willing to help on any questions we had! Parking is inside the hotel itself, it's a separate charge per day. Would recommend without hesitation, would love to be back soon!

I booked the Junior Suite, for reference. Honestly one of the nicest hotels I've been. The staff was also super friendly and helpful. Additionally, they have a super nice pool area surrounded by greenery for a good amount of privacy.

The breakfast was very nice and I especially loved that you could cook your own egg to your liking - Very nice🤗 Only 2 stars😉, but feels like much more.

    I was on the 4th floor (last one), the view was amazing. And I liked the most the size of the room, it was really big compared to the usual hotel room, the room was clean, the furniture was a bit old but it was fine by me. The location was close to the lake, so we used to go by foot. I really had a nice stay, and if I'm back to Locarno I'll definitely stay here.
