Top Piazza Grande Hotel Reviews

Boutique Hotel Piazza Grande Locarno

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in the Modern Double room & although small, it was perfect for two people. Very clean & comfortable with an amazing location on the Piazza Grande. Numerous restaurants located in walking distance. And the hotel has a wonderful restaurant right on the piazza. Although there’s no front desk, the hotel’s virtual contact (Marcello) was quick to correct any issues."

Hotel City Locarno, Design & Hospitality

8/10 Good

"Breakfast was really good, selection of breads, cheeses, coffee croissants and more. Hotel rooms are fine but. There was a balcony but I couldn't get the door open. Good size and nice shower. Reasonably convenient but no views, in fact rather uninteresting roof from my room."

Hotel Millennium

10/10 Excellent

"Location and view were ideal. Hotel has been tastefully updated and well maintained. Free breakfast had plenty of choices and was delicious. Staff were very helpful and accommodating. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again."

Hotel Muralto

8/10 Good

"This was a lovely relaxing stay in a spacious clean room with a partial view over Lake Maggiore. The beds were comfortable, the room was quiet and restful. The breakfast was good value. The staff were lovely, and the hotel was generally kept in good condition and is situated in a great location just up from the railway station. The included Ticino card was great for local travel. A couple of niggles being that the available TV channels were mainly local, and nearby restaurant options for the evening were a bit limited."
