Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
The hotel was very clean, and it was great that we had room service every day. Breakfast options were good. It would be good if they consider renovations of rooms as there is no electrical outlet or usb chargers and perhaps new fridges in the rooms. The water in fridges (which were at a fee) were just a little better than the room tempreature.

Très bien
Hôtel très bien placé, à deux pas du lac et du centre de Locarno. Possibilité de se garer dans la rue (zone bleue mais l'hôtel propose des cartes de stationnement). Belle chambre, très spacieuse et confortable avec balcon (vue sur le lac et le parc). Très calme. Petit déjeuner buffet très complet. Excellent accueil. Nous y retournerons avec grand plaisir !
