FAQs about hotels in Locarno

A Sunny Swiss Corner

Locarno is a gorgeous destination on the shores of Lake Maggiore, featuring the warmest climate in Switzerland. Situated at the foot of the Alps, this colourful Swiss city is home to the world-famous Locarno International Film Festival.

Considered to be designed by Leonardo da Vinci, the 13th-century Visconteo Castle houses an important archaeological museum. The historic pilgrimage church of Madonna del Sasso stands proud above the city, overlooking an inviting harbour.

Travellers can stroll around the narrow alleys of the old town, visit one of the antique shops, admire the old churches with Italian Baroque style or dine in one of the traditional restaurants near the main square of Piazza Grande. During the winter months they can also go for skiing or hiking on the Cardada Cimetta Mountain using the cable car.

Nature lovers will have the opportunity to swim in the blue waters of the Lago Maggiore, wander around the aromatic citrus trees and relax in the vineyards of the hills behind Locarno.

    Beautiful lakeside location with largely pedestrianized tourist area in old town. Amazing lakeside lido with excellent indoor and outdoor pools, slides and diving boards. Pools have spa features, including powerful water massage jets. You can also swim in the lake.

    It's for relaxing, not busy, use the place as a starting point to the different valleys...and if you have time, take the "expresstrain (do not get off for picking flowers...)" for a nice travel to Domodossola. A place not to be missed. Just one recommendation: Go there out of Summerseason (mid June to end August) it will simple be to hot.... Use the Ticino Ticket if you get one from the hotel, it's worth the money.

    Just starting to see some tour groups walking around. So sad to see this as it is no way to see a City and it crowds the streets. They should not allow tour buses or large tour groups in small towns. It destroys the beauty and charm of the area.

    Locarno is lovely.

    Locarno is lovely. Not so businesslike as Lugano, which is also very nice. Great walkability. Easy access to ferry boats to places on the lake. Good restaurants. Easy access to other towns by train or boat. Views are spectacular. Ticino has a very much Swiss - Italians feel as opposed to the the Geneva lake area which is Avery Swiss - French feel ans the Bern area which is very German influenced.

    We stayed from Monday to Friday, travelling by train and that was about the right length of time to explore the immediate area. We enjoyed walks along the promenade, the Camellia Park, the cable car ride and a bus and boat trip to Ascona. We were blessed with beautiful Spring weather in mid April.

    Beautiful, friendly, small city on the shores of Lago Maggiore. Historic old town with beautiful cobblestone piazza and alleys filled with shops. Great launching place for trekking in the hills. Transit is fast, clean and super easy to get from the main train station in Bellinzona, or beyond into the small hill villages. There is a year round ferry that takes travelers across the lake. In the summer, there are more ferries that travels down the lake to further towns south. Many great grocery stores, and delicious restaurants. Most people speak at least three languages: Italian, English and German.

    The ladies were so helpful and accommodating, they even waited after hours for us to check in as we were running late and having sim card problems. The room was cosy and spotlessly clean with a lovely view of the lake and mountains. Breakfast each morning was a banquet....such a wide choice of food and very yummy. There was just a short walk to the train station, the Lake and downtown for some shopping and sightseeing. We were very happy with our stay @ Home Hotel Locarno.

    I just needed a one night stay in a hotel at an affordable price. The staff were extremely nice and welcoming. Had a room with a large balcony over looking the lake and the lake ferries. 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😘

    We arrived quite late so we really appreciated the quick check-in as well as a very nice receptionist wellcoming us with a smile and a teddy bear for our daughter. The room was very big with almost everything you need. and the view was a delight (we had a room with side lake view). Breakfast very good, with plenty of choice. All in all the hotel surprised us positively.

    I was on the 4th floor (last one), the view was amazing. And I liked the most the size of the room, it was really big compared to the usual hotel room, the room was clean, the furniture was a bit old but it was fine by me. The location was close to the lake, so we used to go by foot. I really had a nice stay, and if I'm back to Locarno I'll definitely stay here.
