This is where i try to stay in Lucarno. Book early, it's popular! It's one minute from the station and overlooks the promenade. The lake views, particularly at sunrise, are fantastic. Although not large, the rooms have been nicely renovated. Breakfast is fairly extensive. There's free coffee and tea that you can enjoy all day while overlooking the lake from the balcony of the breakfast area. I shall return.

I love staying here. The staff are so friendly and helpful. The hotel is perfectly located for transport connections and the lakeside. The hotel itself is very clean and pleasant inside and has recently had some attractrive internal rennovations including air conditioning to all rooms and key card access doors. My stay this time coincided with the Luci e Ombre festival and from my balcony I had the best posssible view of the fireworks on the lake on the final day.

Good hotel by the lake

We stayed at the hotel for 1 night. The room was nice, clean and spacey. The balcony was with city view, so towards other houses and buildings. There was a construction right next to it, so it was a bit loud. The bed was comfortable. Breakfast was lovely, we were able to sit outside and got to enjoy the great buffet they had. The location is perfect, as it is right by the lake.

Fantastic location

Close to Locarno downtown. It was a 10-15’ walk to piazza grande for moon & stars festival. No airconditioning but strong fan available. 5’ walk to trainstation and right opposite the lake.

Great location — in front of Lake Maggiore. Easy walk to funicular to Madonna di Sasso; Piazza Grande; and beautiful walk along waterfront. Good restaurants nearby.

Great location on the lake, lots of trees. My room had a balcony overlooking the lake. Loud festival was going on this weekend but I slept well thanks to good, tight balcony door. I only wish they'd keep the birds out of the dining room. I returned to my table to find a little one nibbling the cheese on my plate.

Family run lakeside hotel

Locarno is a beautiful place and the hotel is situated right by the lake with very easy access to all the local amenities. This is a family run hotel with very friendly and helpful staff. We stayed for two nights en route to Italy but you could easily stay longer as this is a very beautiful destination in its own right
