I stayed for 2 nights. I really enjoyed it. I was in a twin room. The first night I was alone, and on the second night they assigned a nice girl as my roommate.
Breakfast was quite good, so I didn’t need to eat anywhere else in the morning.
The room was clean and tidy.
Downstairs, there was a room with lockers that can be locked.
I also recommend getting the Ticino Ticket at the reception desk – it allows you to travel around the canton for free and gives you various discounts for museums and boat rides 🥰

The single room has a private bathroom. The hygiene is OK. Nothing is provided. It is far from the train station but the bus is very convenient. The breakfast variety is pitifully small. There was a problem when checking in. Here I want to give Ctrip's customer service Xiao Guo full marks 💯, solving the problem in time, enthusiastic, patient and professional! Now I almost use Ctrip when I go abroad. It is very convenient to contact and the service is great.

Great experience, the beautiful ladies and handsome guys at the front desk are enthusiastic, considerate and attentive. They will patiently explain even if the language is poor. There is also a free trial of the small concert hall.

Friendly staff, very good breakfast, very well located, and clean.
The rooms are quite spartan, but quiet. The common areas and terrace are pleasant.

Compared to hotels, the price-performance ratio is rather poor. Good breakfast, very clean, convenient location next to the bus stop and within walking distance of the city center. Although rooms with balconies were available, we didn't get one. Lots of beautiful pictures on the website, but the sparse rooms are then filled. Very long wait times at check-in, and sometimes quite unfriendly. They are well aware of the problem of the beautiful pictures and the reality there, and immediately react dismissively.

Warm and helpful staff Small bar to buy drinks and plenty of space to take refuge and spend some quiet time Hearty breakfast with local products Lots of brochures to organize your day (hikes, museums, etc.) Possible to leave your belongings before check-in and after check-out

The staff is extremely friendly! Even our dog was warmly welcomed. Breakfast is plentiful, and the evening meals are simple but quite tasty. One drawback goes to the city of Locarno: unfortunately, it's not dog-friendly. It has a lot of asphalt, which can lead to burns. Most green spaces are off-limits to dogs.
