Great location. Breakfast is overpriced for the limited choices (especially no warm food except eggs). Room is clean but the shower room is way too small. Can’t even bend down freely. Descent for a short stay cos of the location.

Great location in Locarno for train travel
Great location a few metres from the open plan station of Locarno. All the buses leave to lots of destinations from here too. The hotel is in a large old villa that has recently been cleverly renovated to keep the original villa for reception rooms & stairway. Each room is a large contemporary box located within, with excellent air conditioning & high spec bathroom. The reception is manned between 7-19.00 officially, but there’s often someone around at other times too looking out for you. Your room key acts as swipe card for the outside doors after hours. The bean to cup coffee machine is on whatever the time for hot chocolate, cappuccino, espresso etc, there’s also a sitting area with lots of coffee table magazines to peruse. There’s a table laid out with every leaflet so no need to go to the tourist office. Breakfast is good value & you should go for the included option. Breads, crackers, croissant, cakes, muffins, pastries, local artisan honey & jams, yoghurts, bürcher muesli, fruit salad, ham, salami, cheeses, boiled eggs cooked to order, fresh fruit bowl, orange, grapefruit & multivit juices. Across the road at the station there’s a convenience store that’s reasonably priced & open early to late.It’s 5 mins walk down to Piazza Grande and the old town, and less to the waterfront. In the room there’s a small safe, hairdryer, plenty of space. I would say the only thing lacking for me in my single room would be a socket close to the bed to charge my phone.
