Pros:

Das Hotel liegt sehr nahe Bahn und Bus in guter Reichweite zu Fuss zum See und zur Piazza Grande. Wer mir der Bahn anreist ist hier richtig. Das Personal ist sehr zuvorkommend und hilfsbereit.

Cons:

Der Kaffee war sehr gut und man konnte ein frisch gekochtes Ei zum Frühstück haben. Etwas geschnittene frische Früchte wären super (nicht aus der Dose).

Pros:

Отель представляет собой перестроенную виллу 19 века с расписными потолками, современным дизайном номеров, сантехникой. Номер просторный, ванная комната тоже. Несмотря на то, что отель находится напротив вокзала, шума транспорта нет. Персонал очень приветлив, завтрак очень хороший. Рекомендуем!

Freundliches Team mit sehr guter Lage direkt beim Bahnhof Locarno
Pros:

Sehr freundliches Team, Hotel ist sehr zentral beim Bahnhof gelegen und gut eingerichtet. Einziger Nachteil ist die Strasse vor dem Hotel, die es einem nicht wirklich erlaubt die Fenster offen zu lassen. Trotzdem werden wir das Hotel sicher wieder wählen
