A Sunny Swiss Corner

Locarno is a gorgeous destination on the shores of Lake Maggiore, featuring the warmest climate in Switzerland. Situated at the foot of the Alps, this colourful Swiss city is home to the world-famous Locarno International Film Festival.

During the winter months they can also go for skiing or hiking on the Cardada Cimetta Mountain using the cable car.

Nature lovers will have the opportunity to swim in the blue waters of the Lago Maggiore, wander around the aromatic citrus trees and relax in the vineyards of the hills behind Locarno.

    Awesome small town on the shore of Lago Maggiore.

    Awesome small town on the shore of Lago Maggiore. Clean, all buildings and streets are perfectly maintained. Very green, extremely picturesque - placed between Alps slopes and lake shores , with palms and lot of flowers growing around. Small but beautiful Old town, tasteful food. Just a small heaven on Earth, it still is expensive.

    Locarno has a lovely location on the shores of Lake Maggiore. In addition Locarno has developed a continuous walking and bicycle trail along the lake. We spent half a day walking to Ascona - another lake town. Another day we took the train 30 minutes to Bellinzona to explore the UNESCO world heritage castles.

    Amazing cable car then ski lift up to the top of the Alps, still snow on the peaks in early September. A beautiful situation at the top of Lake Maggiore, but considerably more expensive than the Italian resorts . Would recommend the Centrovalli train from Domodossola and the cable cars

    Every aspect of our stay was excellent: the cozy atmosphere, the well-sized room with plenty of sunlight, the breathtaking view of the lake, the delicious breakfast, and the convenient location. But the best of all was the host, Andrea, the nicest person we met in over a year of living in Switzerland. He went out of his way to make the one night we spent in Locarno memorable, even showing us around on his tuk-tuk and dropping us off at the train station at the end of our stay.

    The location was great, only a short walk from the train station. Even better was our room with a beautiful view of Lake Maggiore. The ferry landing (for Ascona, etc.) was a 2 minute walk and numerous restaurants were within a 5 minute walk. The room was very comfortable with a small separate entryway with a couch, handy for my husband who often gets up at 3 am. Breakfast was really good, with many choices. The staff were all very nice and attentive.

    This is a gem of a hotel! The staff was absolutely lovely - kind, welcoming, and friendly. The facilities were great - nice room & terrace, a small art gallery on the entry floor, a great buffet breakfast. Nice location close to the lake, restaurants, and central Locarno; free parking was a big plus! Overall I would describe the hotel as charming with a bed & breakfast type of feel. We loved that we could bring our dog and would gladly stay again.

    Hotel City has a very convenient location: you can discover Locarno & surroundings on foot. The room was modern, with pleasant decoration and good A/C - heating, quiet as requested (overlooking a parking in the backyard). Slept very well! Breakfast was fine, no stress, with everything needed. Staff at breakfast & reception very nice and helpful, always smiling at the customer - which we appreciated. Highly recommended for a city break in Locarno.

    The staff at breakfast and checkout were really helpful and nice. The breakfast was good. The location was excellent. It was quiet. There is parking in the blue zone right outside the hotel. We could see the car from the balcony. If you arrive on Sat. evening it is free parking until Monday morning. Be sure to have the Swiss blue parking shield - get one at a gas station if you don't have one. The hotel is clean. It is older, but has character.

    You can certainly get hotels with lake view in Locarno, but this place has the best location ever being very close to the center as well as the train station, the room was very quiet (I heard nothing during the night), and very very nice staff. It is way beyond being nice because they work at hospitality services - they are very nice and kind people and it makes the stay so much more pleasant.

    Old-fashioned hostel, or better said: a youth hotel as they were back in the days I imagine. Decent bed and nice breakfast, friendly staff & clean showers. But only 2 sockets in the entire room and lockers that worked with a coin - from which half of them were jammed/not-usable. So just prepare by having your powerbank fully charged when arriving here. ;-)
