My one night stay was wonderful because the two women who worked the reception were very helpful to me. They helped me get a Ticino public transport pass online. That was great for the limited time I spent in Locarno. When my friends were running very late coming from the north, they kept my one luggage so I could explore the Grande Piazza and Debarcadero.. The rooms are very nice, modern and very clean. I had a very comfortable night's sleep. Thank you very much.

I love this hotel. I've stayed twice, once as a solo traveler and once with my sister, visiting me from the USA. The hotel is in an amazing location, with the waterfront on one side and a shortcut to the train station on the other. Restaurants, coffee shops and gelato are just next door. The rooms are minimalist. The beds are comfortable. The breakfast is great, and I love that cappuccino, hot chocolate and vending machines are available at all times on the second floor. The staff was fantastic, each time.

    Great location, and one of the few "budget" options in this area. There were many people checking in at the same time, but they were working really fast and making sure everyone gets their room as quick as possible. Great working team.
