Albergo Bianchi Stazione

Very friendly and helpful staff. Good location

It is a rail station hotel, nothing to write home about, but cozy and clean. Our room was on ground floor and had a sweet little balcony to enjoy breakfast on. The staff was nice and helpful.

Nothing at all.

Good location because of its proximity to the train station. Just a few minutes walk to the historical sites of the city. Room cleanliness really excellent. Their breakfast buffet offers a variation of hot/cold food to choose from. Staff very friendly and willing to help to assure our comfortable stay.

This is a smart, clean, traditional hotel, much better furnished than some more expensive places. It's right opposite the station, which has stairs down to road level, but also a long slope for step-free access (turn left out of the station entrance). My room had floor-level windows opening on to a long balcony. Other rooms had smaller windows, so couldn't use it, and there was a door at the end, so it was private. The slats on the shutters were fixed - I would like to have been able to adjust them to let in some air without letting in mosquitoes, but they would be hard to adapt. Everything else was fine, although a better shower head might be useful. There was also a little garden with table and chairs below. Staff were very friendly, welcoming and efficient. There was a key for the safe, and an elevator. Electric sockets were the 3-pin type, but I was able to borrow an adaptor from the hotel. It's not far from the centre of this beautiful city.

Wifi was poor. It was suggested that it might work better downstairs, but I didn't try it, so can't confirm. But I managed, and I'd certainly stay here again.

This was in a good location at one end of Piazza Grande, which is very lively. It is also a restaurant, and guests get a discount. Switzerland has different electrical point fittings from other nearby countries, so you'll need to get a different adaptor, or to ask the hotel. WiFi wasn't brilliant. I was only here for one night, but Locarno is lovely, with a good holiday atmosphere. So I will probably return, but might choose a quieter location (just a personal preference). It's not too far from the station, with connections into Italy, etc.

It was a little noisy in the evening, not from the restaurant or piazza so much as from a nearby music bar. But it did stop by midnight, so if you're out in the evening, it probably won't bother you.

Clean, in fact very clean, old fashion style Albergo with everything we needed, run by nice people, quiet well functioning air-con, decent breakfast, just across the street from the railway station, even so our room was well isolated so we did not hear the busy street outside.

Everything worked well for us, thank you
