Top Old Town Hotel Reviews

Hotel City Locarno, Design & Hospitality

10/10 Excellent

"We only stayed one night at this hotel and left pre-sunrise, so we really didn't get the full flavor of what the hotel might have had to offer (and certainly didn't get to try their breakfast). What we did experience, however, was comfort and a friendly staff."

Boutique Hotel Piazza Grande Locarno

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in the Modern Double room & although small, it was perfect for two people. Very clean & comfortable with an amazing location on the Piazza Grande. Numerous restaurants located in walking distance. And the hotel has a wonderful restaurant right on the piazza. Although there’s no front desk, the hotel’s virtual contact (Marcello) was quick to correct any issues."

Hotel Millennium

10/10 Excellent

"Location and view were ideal. Hotel has been tastefully updated and well maintained. Free breakfast had plenty of choices and was delicious. Staff were very helpful and accommodating. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again."

10/10 Excellent

Palazzo Canetti Locarno

10/10 Excellent

"Bed was comfortable. Bathroom spacious enough. Terrace is nice for relaxing. "

Miralago Locarno Easy Rooms

10/10 Excellent

"The location was fantastic, only a few minutes from the train station. Surprisingly quiet with my window directly facing the train tracks. It was very clean, quiet and well kept. Automated check in was great and I never needed to contact the staff, other than to get my Ticino Ticket emailed to me. Make sure to use the Ticino discount Ticket at almost any attraction, and all public transit in the Canton. Big news for cat lovers, there is a shy but friendly long hair tabby in the area that wonders around, always a bonus! "
