Hotel dell'Angelo, hotel in Locarno

The Dell'Angelo Hotel is centrally located at Piazza Grande in the center of Locarno. It is just steps from the train station, shops and Lago Maggiore.

The hotel is located at the end of the central place of the city, very convenient. The staff was very nice, esp. when I realized that I've got a room with a detached bathroom (I was supposed to get out of my room and pass a small hall to get in my - truth is - private bathroom). When I told the lady at the reception that they should make it clear on booking.com that the bathroom is detached, she first let me know that it is their only room with this feature, but then she offered me a 'regular' room at no extra charge. By the way, I've got - before arrival - a 10% discount for eating in their restaurant. Didn't use it, but the place was full, so I guess they have a very good cook.

    A small, yet beautiful city on the Swiss part of Lago Maggiore which, for those who are on a circuit, is a must-come-to in order to visit Sacro Monte Madonna del Sasso. A jewel with an amazing view over the city and the lake, accessible both by foot or by the funicular (lovely).

    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.

    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.

We were there for the Locarno Film Festival and the hotel is very well situated, the lake in front and the Locarno city center within a few minutes walk. The hotel is a very cute, cozy and beautiful little place. Exceptional to find such a hotel in such a perfect location. We will return for sure!

    Hotel Bellavista Locarno exceeded our expectations. The bed was one of the most comfortable I ever slept on. The shower has the perfect pressure and temperature regulation. The towels are big, soft and clean. Breakfast is diverse and abundant (and the croissants were delicious!). The complimentary Caffe Borbone capsules in the room were really good. But above all, we want to highlight Nuno's wonderful attention and his staff simpathy.

    We (3 adults) had a very nice room in the 5th and the topmost floor with a beautiful balcony and stunning view all over Locarno and the lake. The room was bright, clean and simply a good choice for a stay of 2 nights. The breakfast was good. The hotel is located close to the train station, shopping centers and the lake (everthing reachable within 5-10min by foot). We arrived by car and had a parking lot right in front of the hotel.

    The hotel is charming and atypical with a funny yellow elevator. It is in a nice and quiet neighborhood with shops and restaurants. During the evening you can hear the life around and the music from the bars in the background, that gives a good idea of the ambiance of the city. The breakfast has nothing incredible but very correct for the price.
