During the winter months they can also go for skiing or hiking on the Cardada Cimetta Mountain using the cable car.

    A small, yet beautiful city on the Swiss part of Lago Maggiore which, for those who are on a circuit, is a must-come-to in order to visit Sacro Monte Madonna del Sasso. A jewel with an amazing view over the city and the lake, accessible both by foot or by the funicular (lovely).

    Awesome small town on the shore of Lago Maggiore.

    Awesome small town on the shore of Lago Maggiore. Clean, all buildings and streets are perfectly maintained. Very green, extremely picturesque - placed between Alps slopes and lake shores , with palms and lot of flowers growing around. Small but beautiful Old town, tasteful food. Just a small heaven on Earth, it still is expensive.

    Locarno has a lovely location on the shores of Lake Maggiore. In addition Locarno has developed a continuous walking and bicycle trail along the lake. We spent half a day walking to Ascona - another lake town. Another day we took the train 30 minutes to Bellinzona to explore the UNESCO world heritage castles.

    The hotel is situated near the train station which is very convient. The room was spacious, with comfy bed, nice balcony and coffee-tea facilities. You have mini bar available for extra charge. Breakfast was very rich and tasty. Staff of the hotel should get extra credits for their work - Mr Norbert at the reception was extremly helpful, he explained where to go, provided additional information upon my questions - great hospitality and customer approach. I fully recommend to stay here.

The breakfast was very nice and I especially loved that you could cook your own egg to your liking - Very nice🤗 Only 2 stars😉, but feels like much more. I will surely be coming back to this affordable gem❤️ Thank you Rondinella😘

    You can't do much better for a central location in Locarno. The room was the perfect size for our group. It was very close to the train station, and everything else. The room itself was great. There was a great selection for breakfast featuring a number of local products. And during some of the hottest days ever in Switzerland, the air conditioning was great!

    Old-fashioned hostel, or better said: a youth hotel as they were back in the days I imagine. Decent bed and nice breakfast, friendly staff & clean showers. But only 2 sockets in the entire room and lockers that worked with a coin - from which half of them were jammed/not-usable. So just prepare by having your powerbank fully charged when arriving here. ;-)
