"Fantastic location, great staff and perfect room to have relaxing time Breakfast was excellent. Highly recommend"

Hotel DU LAC Locarno

8/10 Good

"The room was small but had everything we needed. The bathroom was very small but again had what was needed."

La Palma au Lac

8/10 Good

"המלון מיושן קצת. לא עשה עלינו רושם טוב. חנינו בחניון העליון ואז צריך לרדת במדרגות עם המזוודות למעליות. ארוחת בוקר נחמדה,לא יותר"

Hotel Millennium

10/10 Excellent

"The Millennium Hotel was an adorable boutique hotel, located just a five-minute walk from the train station and across the street from Lake Maggiore. My room was gorgeous, with a bed that felt like sleeping on clouds. Everything was extremely clean. Breakfast was delicious and the proprietors are very nice. They even offered to arrange a transportation card for me, but I couldn’t take advantage of that because, sadly, I only stayed one night on my way to Milan. I hope to return and stay longer."

Hotel Lago Maggiore

10/10 Excellent

"A great place to stay being a short walk from the railway station located near the lake. Upper floor rooms especially floor 4 have very good lake views. Reception was very good and helped with lots of good advice to make my stay even better. Breakfast was very good with all the usual on offer. The dining area is spacious and there were always tables available regardless of arrival time. Room was large, well equipped, very comfortable and quiet. Bathroom with large walk-in shower was excellent. Happy to recommend and would use again if back in the area."

Seven Town House Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel is at back of restaurant- took us a few minutes to find when we arrived but after that all good. Very central location, few minutes to trsin station, few minutes to ferries and good breskfast included- croissants,bread, meat, cheese, spreads, yoghurts, cereal and hot drinks all served to table. Nice bar in restaurant too- would stay again"

Boutique Hotel Piazza Grande Locarno

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in the Modern Double room & although small, it was perfect for two people. Very clean & comfortable with an amazing location on the Piazza Grande. Numerous restaurants located in walking distance. And the hotel has a wonderful restaurant right on the piazza. Although there’s no front desk, the hotel’s virtual contact (Marcello) was quick to correct any issues."

Palazzo Canetti Locarno

10/10 Excellent

"Bed was comfortable. Bathroom spacious enough. Terrace is nice for relaxing. "

Miralago Locarno Easy Rooms

10/10 Excellent

"The location was fantastic, only a few minutes from the train station. Surprisingly quiet with my window directly facing the train tracks. It was very clean, quiet and well kept. Automated check in was great and I never needed to contact the staff, other than to get my Ticino Ticket emailed to me. Make sure to use the Ticino discount Ticket at almost any attraction, and all public transit in the Canton. Big news for cat lovers, there is a shy but friendly long hair tabby in the area that wonders around, always a bonus! "
