    Main reason to go their was the Indian Ticino Ride, Close to the lakeside and in the middle of the city we could celebrate until Midnight. Time was to short to discover all the beauty in and around. We took some short rides with our motorbikes having best weather. We will come again. Great place on earth.

    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

    We had an excellent 3 nights' stay at Al Pozz. Although the staff can't speak English, they were very friendly. Breakfast was good and we loved the cuppachinos! The hotel is just 100m - 150m from Locarno train and busstation and this was very convenient for our different day trips. Our double bedroom with ensuite bathroom was big and comfortable and enough space to unpack our stuff. We also enjoyed the balcony. Definately recommended for fellow travellers. Keep up the good work and your hospitality!

    Location was breathtaking, view from our balcony to the lake was the highlight of the trip. The room was large and comfortable including a small loveseat sofa (fits 2 snuggly) and a separate chair. Breakfast was very good. The walk to the main plaza was just a few minutes away downhill. Staff was very professional and willing to help on any questions we had! Parking is inside the hotel itself, it's a separate charge per day. Would recommend without hesitation, would love to be back soon!

    it was very spacious and nearby the lake/the main downtown area. very tropical-feeling area for Europe. was also walking distance from the train station. provided us with shampoo and body wash. nice kitchen with freezer, refrigerator, stoves, etc. no oven that I can remember. staff was great at responding to our needs quickly. a kitchen made it super easy for us to cook at home instead of eating out, as it is incredibly expensive in Switzerland. the balcony was pleasant in the morning.

    The breakfast was awesome - according to my sweetheart; I had a triathlon compettition and had to leave early in the morning. The staff made sure to have "my" (small) breakfast ready earlier, awesome service! The location is very central right next to the train station, that fit our bill. The bed was exceptional, one of the most comfortable beds I have EVER had, and I slept in a LOT of hotel beds ;-) The staff was super friendly and very accomodating, mille grazie!

    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.

    The location of the hotel is perfect - only 400m from the train station. Rooms are nice and clean - nothing fancy but functional. I appreciated the small gift in the room (a tiny Panettone). Breakfast is "only" continental yet with a broad choice incl. fresh fruit salad (boiled eggs available on request), and there are four large Nespresso machines which even make (very enjoyable) Cappuccino!
