ideal para hacer turismo por Locarno, pasando el menor tiempo posible en la habitación.
Pros:

El hotel está muy céntrico y es ideal para conocer el centro y hacer salidas en barco, funicular y usar el transporte público gratuito para ir a Ascona.
El parking público con el que tienen un acuerdo está muy cerca y es muy práctico.

Cons:

Las habitaciones en las fotos me parecían mejores, no sé si la nuestra era de las peores ya que daba a la parte trasera sin vistas y es por eso que me llevo esa impresión. Además la iluminación es como la de los hospitales, no crea un buen ambiente cálido.
Es complicado encontrar el acceso del hotel, ya que se entra por la parte trasera, por una puerta difícil de ver, cuando llegas de noche y después de las 19:00H que cierra la recepción y hay que buscar un cajetin con la linterna del móvil.
