Lovely design friendly hotel in Locarno

Lovely hotel in center Locarno city. 7 minutes from train station and 3 minutes from piazza Grande. The staff gave me a wonderful heartwarming welcoming, upgraded me and organized a happy hour bottle with cooler and glass. The breakfast area is ver relaxing and staff very helpful and friendly. 3 minutes walk from the lake, a restaurant by hotel entrance, shops, restaurants and sightseeing all close by. Ask for the Locarno city tourist card (free) and get discounts.

Superb!

Very clean and comfortable! The room was bigger than I thought. All necessary facitities were provided within the room. The location was not too far from the main station. It was easy to wondering around for chilling, shopping, finding some food & ice cream. Very friendly and super kind staff. Ps. I met the hotel's owner when I checked-in! She was a super cute cat :)
