Rooms and bathroom were vet clean and good size, great views of the lake from private balcony, and close to train . The staff were super friendly, helpful and accommodating. Best hotel from our trip through Italy in way to Switzerland and France,
Our stay was fabulous. The rooms are very nice and spacy, the view quite spectecular. I want to mention Tanja from reception, who made us feel welcome and heard throughout our stay.
Hotel is perfectly positioned for the train and the lake.
Staff were excellent, breakfast plentiful and the room was very comfortable. A USB port wouldn’t go amiss (first world problem, I know).
Highly recommended.
Absolutely gorgeous hotel. Facing lake Maggiore. We had a very large room that had a sauna in the bathroom. We also had a large balcony and kitchen. It was a great space. The dining/bar patio was incredible. Sitting there and facing the lake enjoying some cocktails. They gave great food recommendations with discounts to nearby restaurants. Very walkable and right next to train station. They gave us a departure gift of two local beers. Loved it here.
Lotsa nice places to eat and nightlife. Hotel was nice and they had free bikes.. we road 15 miles around the lake and enjoyed the scenery and healthy activities
Amazing stay, loved it, it was literally perfection with the expedition of so many people allowed with dogs at the restaurant it seemed a bit off and kinda off putting but other than that would stay again. And highly recommend.
Booked this hotel for proximity to the train station. It is beautiful and modern and immaculate throughout with superb views of the lake which is just steps away.
Staff were fast, friendly and helpful throughout.
Particularly loved the piano player in the bar!
Wonderful hotel. The staff were lovely, and the breakfast choice amazing. Everything about the room and balcony wash first class. The bed was a bit hard for my preference. The experience with the elevator to the parking garage was fun!
The Hotel Lago Maggiore is everything you’d want for your time in Locarno and more. It is modern, beautiful, sparkling clean, well-maintained, expertly staffed, and ideally located. What truly distinguishes the hotel is first and foremost how you are treated, from the warm welcome and recognition of returning guests to the attention they pay to every detail, with extra kindnesses that include bottles of water in your room each day and a thank you gift when you leave. The view from each of the lakeside rooms is absolutely stunning and instantly brings a smile to your face when you open the drapes in the morning. It is wonderful sitting outside whether on the room’s terrace, the rooftop terrace, or on the ground-level bar/lounge/restaurant terrace. The icing on the cake is the restaurant. Breakfast is delicious, as is lunch, but dinner is truly exceptional — do try the tasting menu for an unforgettably perfect meal! We had a terrific time and hope to return soon!
