Schlicht nicht gut - keine Klimaanlage und nicht mal Zahnputzgläset etc.
Pros:

Lage

Cons:

Preis, typisch übersetzt wegen Film Festival in Locarno (insgesamt CHF 320 für das Einzelzimmer ohne funktionierende Klimaanlage!!). Im Zimmer unter Dach ca. 30 Grad heiss nachts = unmöglich gut zu schlafen!

Ein Fan,brachte leider auch keine Abkühlung.
So wenig Komfort in der Schweiz....das Bad war auch ca 30 Jahre alt!Als wir reklamierten meinte die Chefin,die könnte nichts machen,das Haus seu unter Heimatschutz!
