Pros:

Super Lage mit sehr nettem Personal. Öffentliche Tiefgarage in der Nähe

Cons:

Das sehr kleine Zimmer direkt über der Abluft der Küche, die die ganze Nacht an und aus ging war extrem störend. Der Geruch war bereits am Morgen schon stark. Die alte Klimaanlage war auch laut, so dass wir mit offenen Fenster schlafen mussten. Beim Blick in den Innenhof schauten wir auf das wilde Abfallsystem des Restaurants und an die marode Hauswand des Nachbargebäude. Da wir lange im voraus gebucht hatten, haben wir ein bessere Zimmer erwartet. Die Fotos zeigen nicht die genaue Lage in einer Seitengasse.

Sehr niedlich, einfach aber heimelig
Pros:

Ein kleines und einfaches Hotel. überaus freundliches Personal, welches meine Erwartungen übertroffen hat.
Wem freundlichkeit und das einfache Leben etwas bedeutet und nicht Luxus, hat hier bestimmt eine gute Zeit

Lage top, jedoch preislich ansonsten viel zu teuer für den Konfort, welcher das Hotel bietet.
Pros:

Super Lage, direkt bei der Piazza Grande.

Cons:

Preislich total übertrieben für den Konfort, der das Hotel bietet. Es war sehr laut (vorallem am Morgen früh) und das Zimmer / das Hotel sehr einfach und das Zimmer hatte keine Klimaanlage und keine funktionierende Minibar. Das Frühstück war bescheiden.

Ideal für einen Stadtaufenthalt ohne Kinder in Locarno.
Pros:

Optimal gelegen, direkt an der Piazza. Comfort Zimmer mit Bad ist klein aber geräumig. Das Frühstück bietet eine umfangreiche Auswahl; Eierspeisen werden auf Wunsch frisch zubereitet. Grosses Garten-Restaurant direkt an der Piazza, wunderschönes Grotto.

Pros:

Essen ist gut.
Die Leute haben spass bei der Arbeit. Und sind sehr freundlich.

Cons:

Gibt nichts. Ausser beim Tartar gehört keine Mayo. Besser mit Balsamic garnieren. Aber das ist nur ein Vorschlag.
