Hotel Alexandra, hotel in Locarno

Set in a turn-of-the-century villa, Hotel Alexandra is just a 10-minute walk from Locarno’s town center. It offers Mediterranean cuisine. Alexandra Hotel offers a rich buffet breakfast daily.

We had a great time in Locarno. We booked the rooms with the shared bathroom, and even though it's not the same as having your own bathroom, I have to say they were very clean and did not bother us to use them at all. The location is great, there is a bus stop right next to the hotel and you can go to the center and other towns easily. The service was excellent, Everyone was very nice and helpful. And the breakfast was delicious, we enjoyed it every morning :)

    Main reason to go their was the Indian Ticino Ride, Close to the lakeside and in the middle of the city we could celebrate until Midnight. Time was to short to discover all the beauty in and around. We took some short rides with our motorbikes having best weather. We will come again. Great place on earth.

    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 was fantastic but the funicular operator put me off. He refused to speak and just pointed to tickets and signs when asked questions. Nobody was there and his vibe was we we're putting him out.

    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.

    Amazing cable car then ski lift up to the top of the Alps, still snow on the peaks in early September. A beautiful situation at the top of Lake Maggiore, but considerably more expensive than the Italian resorts . Would recommend the Centrovalli train from Domodossola and the cable cars

    Hotel Bellavista Locarno exceeded our expectations. The bed was one of the most comfortable I ever slept on. The shower has the perfect pressure and temperature regulation. The towels are big, soft and clean. Breakfast is diverse and abundant (and the croissants were delicious!). The complimentary Caffe Borbone capsules in the room were really good. But above all, we want to highlight Nuno's wonderful attention and his staff simpathy.

    The location and the view from the balcony was superb. The room was very clean and people at reception were nice. Having an air-condition in the room during the heatwave was useful. We used the hotel bikes to ride around Locarno and Ascona for a day and the bikes were in a good shape and well maintained.

    Nice old villa in Locarno. Big huge ceilings. Very clean. Would be the perfect spot to stay for a few days. 10 minute walk down to the waterfront. The 2 room suit we rented had kitchen facilities. If I ever want to stay a few days in Locarno I will definitely look this place up again. Best shower ever. :)
