Top Old Town Hotel Reviews

Hotel Geranio Au Lac

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel on the lake and within 5 minute walk to Locarno train station. Great breakfast on a terrace served daily. Friendly staff and very helpful especially Stephanie! Loved the Ticino Pass which allowed for complimentary travel throughout Ticino canton and discounts as well to attractions."

Hotel Millennium

10/10 Excellent

"We were graded when we arrived and all the amenities were explained the hostess walked us to us our room and showed us all the features of the room. The room was clean pretty and the air conditioner worked great. Breakfast was marvelous, and staff was very responsive. Location was right by the train station, which was great as well as by the lake even better."

Hotel Muralto

10/10 Excellent

"Property was perfect for us. We stayed in room 50 with an awe inspiring view. That was the most important feature for us. Our room was spacious and clean. With a large bed, two twin beds pushed together, very supportive and comfortable. Hotel Muralto is an older property that has been well cared for and updated. Staff are very kind, helpful and attentive. We stayed in Locarno for 2 weeks and found that Hotel Muralto to be the right balance of comfort and functionality at a very good price. The property is located within a 6 minute walk from the train/bus station so super convenient. Please note the pathways up from the train station and downtown can be a little steep and challenging for someone with mobility issues, but there are convenient bus options just steps from the hotel door. Locarno is a lovely city and ever so peaceful in the evening. We left our balcony door open for nature’s AC which is quite comfortable in April and May. We will definitely be back!"

Hampton By Hilton Locarno

10/10 Excellent

"This was a fantastic hotel! Very new so everything clean and up to date. Design and lighting very nice. Bed super comfortable. Room had everything you need (fridge, kettle, good-sized towels). Appreciated having a proper hair dryer and conditioner in the bathroom. Two buses go right from the Locarno station to the hotel and since the hotel offers you a Ticino ticket, I traveled all over the area without having to pay any extra fees in transportation. Staff super friendly, helpful, and present. Lots of options for breakfast. Hotel in a quiet area, but like I said with easy transport to train station. Nice running path along the river. Fitness room had foam rollers which were amazing to loosen up muscles after long days of hiking. Would definitely stay here again!!!! Thank you!"

Seven Town House Boutique Hotel

8/10 Good

"Location is excellent. We had an economy room - it was clean and had what we needed but quite uninspiring and it was a bit noisy when we arrived. It was quiet when we went to sleep. Breakfast was included but I couldn’t see information about how to get breakfast so emailed and got a quick reply. Breakfast was reasonable but we had to wait fifteen mins to get our coffee. Orange juice had already been poured out on a counter but it also took ten mins. "
