Hotel Alexandra, hotel in Locarno

Set in a turn-of-the-century villa, Hotel Alexandra is just a 10-minute walk from Locarno’s town center. It offers Mediterranean cuisine. Alexandra Hotel offers a rich buffet breakfast daily.

We had a great time in Locarno. We booked the rooms with the shared bathroom, and even though it's not the same as having your own bathroom, I have to say they were very clean and did not bother us to use them at all. The location is great, there is a bus stop right next to the hotel and you can go to the center and other towns easily. The service was excellent, Everyone was very nice and helpful. And the breakfast was delicious, we enjoyed it every morning :)

    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 was fantastic but the funicular operator put me off. He refused to speak and just pointed to tickets and signs when asked questions. Nobody was there and his vibe was we we're putting him out.

    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

    The property is a an abandoned hotel, which structure is ri-organized to be a new hotel. The location and the position are nice, but the building was not renovate at all, not even a little bit (so there are abandoned space everywhere) and the fact that there is literally no one but clients didn’t make me feel so comfortable and protected during the night. Literally anyone can enter there. The breakfast in the morning was ok, there were 3 people from the staff. The cleaning is just sufficient, but it could have been cleaner.

    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.

    Very nice looking renovated hotel with super friendly and helpful staff. Every time we had a wish or a question, they helped us immediately. The pictures in the hall show the past of the building, which was quite a ruin before the renovation. Now it looks amazing. It breaths the spirit from the old times and yet offers modern and comfy rooms. Breakfast was great with served coffee or hot tea and a good choice of food. We loved the vintage balcony!

    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.

    It's a very nice, small, cute hotel. The staff is super-friendly, and helpful. A nice bonus when checking in was receiving a pass for everyone to get a discount on public transport, and the funicular train. The breakfast was delicious. The hotel is located in the centre, and at the lake front. As a result almost everything (like bars, restaurants, and boat dock) is within a short walking distance.
