As a family with a 1 y.o. baby, we found Hotel Rondinella to be a fantastic choice that I warmly recommend. We particularly enjoyed: - The extremely warm and kind staff - Our room was big and had a wonderful view of the lake - Location is hard to beat. A stone throw from the train station, from the Debarcadero, the Lido, the funicular to Madonna del Sasso... anf if you can't walk to a place, the bus stop is right in front (and you can take it for free...) - Great breakfast on the balcony. Especially the yoghurt from Ticino, the cake, and the homemade jam. - The room and the shared facilities were spotlessly clean Overall, the choice of staying at this hotel made our holiday in Locarno relaxing and memorable. Thank you to all the staff of the hotel!

The furnishings are not very modern, but as I said, everything is clean and very well maintained, so it's really nothing that detracts from the experience.

It is at a very convenient location. 5min walk to Locarno train station, bus stop is within 1 min walk, near piazza as well. I like the scent in the room as well. The room was warm despite the cold weather.

It was difficult to lower the blinds at the balcony in the cold weather. Room was facing the bus stop and at night it’s possible for others to see the silhouette from the bus stop even with the curtain in the room. The sockets near the bed was not working.

The hotel is in a great location, making it easy to get around. It is very near the lake, concerts, and all venues in the city center. The breakfast is really good, offering a wide variety of options with a nice view of the lake. The staff is very friendly and helpful. You can get a free local travel ticket at the reception, which allows you to travel around the city and the Locarno area.

However, some rooms (e.g., 31 and 32) are very close to the reception and can be very noisy in the morning and evening.

The view and location and the staff. I like the fact that the staff kept in touch with me to let me know how to retrieve my room key after hours. The breakfast area with the lake view. The restaurant beside the hotel has good food. Parking options close by.

The picture shows a very luxurious looking hotel with a lake view from the room.. the room has a view and we enjoyed it but we have to go to the balcony to see it. Maybe other rooms in the hotel has a lake view

Good breakfast with view of Lake Maggiore, and we thoroughly enjoyed our balcony in the evening, also overlooking the lake and boat terminal. Extremely close to train station and lots handy shops and restaurants nearby - including several gelaterias! Right by the lake which meant we could walk along the promenade and enjoy a leisurely stroll after swimming in the pleasant water with fabulous views across to the mountains.

I just needed a one night stay in a hotel at an affordable price. The staff were extremely nice and welcoming. Had a room with a large balcony over looking the lake and the lake ferries. The breakfast was very nice and I especially loved that you could cook your own egg to your liking - Very nice🤗 Only 2 stars😉, but feels like much more. I will surely be coming back to this affordable gem❤️ Thank you Rondinella😘

Nothing.

Had a lovely stay at Hotel Rondinella. Its in a central location, close to shops, restaurants, ferries and the railway station. Our room had a balcony with the most wonderful view of Lake Maggiore. The hotel was probably built in the 60s or 70s and it has a great retro feel about it. Oh and the staff were just lovely too!

Spacious older style room with two balconies, both with gorgeous views of the lake. Comfortable bed and good breakfast included in the room rate. Lovely staff who were a pleasure to deal with. Overall, excellent value for money.

A coffee making machine in the room would have been nice.

The location was central and close to everything. The staff were always helpful and kind. The room had everything I needed. The mini fridge was much appreciated. The breakfast was a typical continental breakfast with some amazing homemade local treats.

Very friendly staff, close to the public transport, within walking distance to the center of Locarno. The balcony was a nice bonus. Though we didn't include breakfast, we were welcome to have coffee or tea.

We were not disappointed at all.
