Property is clean, location not bad at all; although from the pictures it looks like it’s at the lake and not really. But you can get to the center in 5 minutes by bus (city bus included)and the bus stop it’s 3 minutes walk, or you can walk look at the city, takes 25 minutes to the piazza.

Wir waren mit einem Baby da. Das Zimmer war sehr grosszügig und beim Frühstück wurde uns ein Babystuhl angeboten. Der Poolbereich ist sehr sauber und die Lage ist praktisch zwischen Locarno und Ascona. Somit ist man zu Fuss oder mit dem Bus flexibel für Ausflüge. Die Zimmer sind recht ringhörig, was uns aber für eine Nacht nicht gestört hat.

I’ve stayed here several times always a great stay

I’ve stayed here several times now, always a great stay. I Highly recommend this hotel 100% My only mentioning for the Americans, if they’re not aware, it does not have air-conditioning like a lot of European/Swiss hotels. If you’re staying in the summer it might be a bit hot for you . But they do have a fantastic pool

Good hotel with nice views.

Good hotel, my second stay there. Clean relatively comfortable room, Nice balcony, decent breakfast, very nice pool in the summer. My only complaint there was quite a bit of mold in the shower ( why I put clean rating on OK). Definitely stay here again. There’s Also a very good Greek Takeaway just around the corner.

Tessin, wunderschoen!!

Wir hatten einen schoenen Aufenthalt. Das Hotel liegt etwas ausserhalb von Locarno, aber nicht zu weit vom City Center. Man kann auch bequem nach Ascona laufen. Der Pool ist gepflegt und das Fruehstuecksbuffet hatte eine gute Auswahl. Mit der Gaestekarte konnte man den Bus benutzen, sodass man kein Auto vorort braucht.

Gute, Preiswerte Unterkunft

Wir waren nur eine Nacht dort. Wir waren zu dritt in einem geräumigen Zimmer. Es war ein warmer Tag und so war es auch im Zimmer recht heiss. Man konnte aber einen Ventilator laufen lassen. Die Dusche ist recht klein, was an sich nicht stört, doch so wird es bereits nach einer kurzen Dusche recht tropisch im Bad, was einen dann gleich wieder schwitzen lässt. Die Sauberkeit war meiner Meinung nach ausreichend. Das Frühstück war einfach, aber durchaus zufriedenstellend. Würde es für den Preis sicher wieder besuchen.
