Top Old Town Hotel Reviews

Hotel Arcadia Locarno, a Trademark Collection by Wyndham

10/10 Excellent

"Family friendly. Super convenient location. Very friendly staff."

Hotel Millennium

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in the penthouse suite which i think must sleep 5 or 6 (it had 3 bedrooms). The hotel sits on the edge of Lake Maggiore and from the “balcony” of the suite the views were amazing. The hotel is only a couple of minutes walk from the train station. We were there for the moon & stars festival and the hotel is right at the end of the food street but we weren’t disturbed at all when we went to sleep. Nice powerful shower, kitchen with full sized fridge. Only 1 improvement i would recommend, and that would be to put a blackout blind in each of the bedrooms because they were very bright in the morning! We would absolutely stay here again!"

Hotel Muralto

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay at Hotel Muralto and highly recommend it. The property is conveniently located near public transportation (a bus stop right out the door and train station a 5 minute walk). It's a 10 minute walk to old town Locarno, shops and restaurants. The hotel itself is well maintained, the room was spotless and all staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. The continental breakfast was fresh and delicious, the air conditioning was welcome and refreshing (we were in Switzerland during a heat wave and stayed in several hotels which didn't have A/C, resulting in some uncomfortable sleeping). Overall, Hotel Muralto was our favorite hotel during our time in Switzerland!"

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. "
