Lovely little 3* hotel in the heart of Locarno halfway between the railway station and the Piazza Grande, so perfect for just about everything. Charming multilingual staff (German, French, English, Czech as well as Italian). My room (208) was sparkling clean, with full length windows with a wrought iron balustrade, not a balcony but I had not asked for one... More

After a few days in Zurich and Davos, we ventured down to this lovely little place along the water. WOW, it was sunny and right in the middle of a small shopping district and the old part of the city. Not that there is a huge city, just very quiet and relaxing. The hotel took great care of all of... More

We used this as a base to bungee jump the Verzasca dam, and it was a great decision. The room had a balcony that overlooked the plaza and the lake, which was very soothing. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The area is beautiful and we would consider basing here while exploring the area some more.

The Hotel Garni du Lac offered a pleasant stay. The staff were very friendly and helpul. The location was excellent, right by the lake. The room was big enough but didn't have any frills. The breakfast was minimal and that was a disappointment.

We stayed here for the Moon and Stars Festival. Prices were obviously hiked up during this period. Its location is unbeatable - just a stone's throw from the main station and surrounded by shops and many other amenities. If you are driving, parking is available at 16CHF per day at the Centro carpark which is also just a minute walk... More

The staff were very friendly and helpful and the recption staff spoke good English. Internet access was available in your room and was free. There was a minibar in the room and the... More

I booked two double deluxe rooms with lake views 11 months ago and confirmed these a week before we left home. When we arrived at the hotel, however, the receptionist claimed that we had only booked one room. On checking the paperwork, however, she confirmed my double booking but said that the hotel was full and there was only one... More
