Great Value for Money - Except in Summer

We stayed at Hotel Alexandra for 1 night before going day hiking in Ticino. The staff was friendly and helpful and room sparkling clean. BUT the central air conditioning system has units in each room giving off a a loud ERRRHHH sound of an electric motor starting every 2 minutes. It was impossible to sleep, and there are no staff in the hotel overnight. I barely slept 3 hours due to this torturous noise. The staff are aware, and when I complained the next morning they were sympathetic, but said if the AC is off guests will complain of the heat. Apparently no plans to repair it. suggest only staying there in the winter.

Quaint hotel with great staff

Hotel Alexandra was a 15 minute or so walk uphill from the train station. Third floor room had some low beams to duck under, and shower and toilet facilities were shared. Room was very clean and we had a view of lake from our window. Breakfast was very nice, and well worth it with the high price of restaurants in Switzerland. We left an item in the room and they mailed it to us, which was really nice of them. Enjoyed our stay here.

Location - 1500 meters walk from Piazza Grande. Covered parking adjacent to the hotel. Air-conditioned room. The room was in the attic, no bathroom and shower included. Toilet and shower were shared.

Great Hotel for location and value

Great place to stay just a few minutes to by foot from the Locarno train station. I suggest if arriving by train use the bus for transfer, will stop right in front of the Hotel. (I think it was # 1, get off at stazione sociale or just ask the bus driver, runs every 15 min.) If you are without luggage it's an easy stroll to Locarno, old part of town or lake promenade. The Hotel is very clean ( recently renovated ), staff extremly friendly ask for ideas on what to do. Rooms comfortable not very big for north american standards but was no issue for me. Breakfast simple but all you really need to get going in the morning .(unless you need your eggs & bacon...) Must see : Madonna del Sasso perched on a rock above Locarno , easy to get by funiculare or by foot. (steep climb but well worth the effort) The church is under renovation but still open to visit , amazing frescoes inside the church!

Very good standard for being a budget hotel. We stayed at the top floor in one of the rooms with shared bathroom. Everything were very clean. Nice breakfast buffé and the most important, friendly and helpful staff. Location is good, just 5-10 minutes walk to the train station, the lake and the city. Will recommend this hotel to all my friends who will go to Locarno.

Die Lage des Hotels ist sehr zentral, man erreicht es sowohl mit der Bahn ( bis Locarno ), und dann mit den Öffis ( Bus 1 Rtg. Gordola Centro Professionale, Aussteigen : Via Sociale, das Hotel liegt genau schräg gegenüber. ), als auch mit dem Auto. Von Locarno aus liegt es in Muralto auf der linken Seite, kurz bevor man nach Minusio herein fährt. Parkplätze sind ausreichend vorhanden. Für den Preis wird ein top ausgestattetes Zimmer, sowie ein Frühstück geboten, das keine Wünsche offen lässt. Auch der Service ist super, sowohl der Inhaber selbst, sowie auch das Serviceteam lesen einem fast jeden Wunsch von den Augen ab, um den Aufenthalt so angenehm, wie auch erholsam, wie nur irgend möglich zu gestalten. Die Buchung beinhalt immer auch das Ticino - Ticket, mit dem während des gesamten Aufenthalts im Hotel die Öffis im Tessin ( 2. Kl., Busse, sowie wie alle Regionalbahnen, ! nicht jedoch die gelben Überlandbusse, sowie ebenfalls nicht die Fernzüge der SBB ! ) kostenfrei genutzt werden können. Zudem gewährt das Ticket zum Teil großzügige Ermäßigungen bei Eintritten, und diversen anderen Angeboten. Man bekommt es entweder direkt im Hotel beim Check - In automatisch, oder kann es sich, nachdem man online eingecheckt hat, auch über einen Link ganz einfach online als QR - Code auf's Handy / Smart - / iPhone herunter laden.

Een klassiek niet al te groot hotel met een harmonieuze inrichting met aandacht voor detail. Het personeel is vriendelijk en meertalig, de receptie is tot 19 uur bezet. Onze kamer was niet groot, maar wel mooi ingericht met ook een koffie-apparaat en een minibar. De badkamer was heel proper met ook met goede materialen afgewerkt. Het hotel zit op een kwartiertje lopen van het station, maar de stadsbus stopt vlakbij en is gratis met de door het hotel per email verstrekte my tricino-pas op de gsm. Met deze pas reis je gratis in de regio en krijg je korting op diverse attracties. Wij waren er maar één nacht maar zouden zó opnieuw boeken als we daar in de buurt komen, een aanrader.

Fine rom- dårlig utvalg til frokost

Vi booket og ankom seint. Hyggelig mann på telefonen som guidet oss til nøkkelskap og vi fikk sjekket inn på egen hand. Frokosten derimot var ikke noe særlig. Vi kom ned kl 09 og det var tomt for både granola og pålegg. Ikke noe grønt (som agurk, paprika, salat osv) og vi måtte spørre etter pålegg til rundstykkene. Veldig hyggelig personale og service, men når frokosten er åpen til kl 10 kan det ikke være tomt kl 09. Nespresso kaffemaskin. så ikke noe særlig.
