Unterkunft direkt am Bhf Locarno. Grosse, saubere Suite (zwei Erwachsene, zwei Kinder) ohne Verstauungsmöglichkeiten. Tolle Lage, zuvorkommendes Personal an der Reception, durchgehend kostenlos Kaffee, Frühstück klein aber ok Wir kommen gerne wieder zurück.

Bonne adresse en face des gares FART/CFF

Petit hôtel placé en face des gares (FART et CFF), hyper pratique pour le Festival Moon&Stars qui a lieu a quelques pas. Air conditionné dans la chambre, facile à gérer et à éteindre. Un peu bruyant, mais très efficace. Joli petit-déjeuner, sucré et salé. Personnel vraiment sympatique et aidant. Pour info : salle d'eau fermée par une porte, mais pas de cloison au-dessus. Aucune intimité.
