Great for a quiet long weekend.

A simple and quiet place away from the city centre, friendly and helpful staff.

There is no elevator available, you need to carry your luggage up and down a few levels.

Great views and quiet, but there's nothing around

From the 3rd floor of the hotel, I had an amazing panoramic view of the lake and of the surrounding mountains. The area is very quiet and peaceful. The staff was very nice and helpful. And they have good wifi too.

The area being a mixture of hotels and private residences, has close to nothing else. There's no supermarket anywhere near and the few bars and restaurants all close a 9pm. This is the downside of the peaceful neighborhood.

Good but overpriced and not my preferred type of hotel

Good views from the veranda. Very clean and quiet

Overpriced for the service and facilities. Lack of aircon made sleeping difficult. The fan provided did little to alleviate the heat.

HORRIBLE!

I didn’t like anything about this Hotel. not even a single point .

This is a horrible place , No air conditioner for a place which is extremely not sustainable and the rooms are extremely hot . you can die . No elevator and no one will help you with your suitcase. nothing is good about this Hotel , it’s very expensive for what it is . in the bathroom you can find others dirt . Horrible! well it’s located neat the bus station , if there were no other place available in this city you can book this place .

Passable

The breakfast was okay. The view was amazing.

The room had no furniture. Only the bed and a small table. The staff cleaned our room only the first day. The other day they just turned on a ventilator and didn't clean the room.

Breathtaking experience to remember and to share with your dear ones ⭐️

Everything was amazing more than expected...the view, the cleaned bed sheets and the entire room 🤍 the smell of fresh clean and spring flowers like when you enter the hotel 🌼 not least the welcoming staff from the reception, I will be back soon I hope to LA BARCA BLUE 💙 thank you and keep up the great work ⭐️

Noisy visitors next to our room, otherwise nothing else :)

weekend hike trip

good location for hiking simple, relatively clean, quiet, beautiful view of lake, breakfast in room because of corona simple but lots of fresh croissants, rolls, cheese butter jams eggs

we missed a bit the personal contact upon arrival , no person, self check in with code but probably due to Covid situation over past year

I stayed several times in the Barca Blue with great pleasure. Great staff, great location and good breakfast and parking

Stil while we experience Corona and its Limitation: great staff and Location! Though We have to take down expectations..

Parking takes now place 120 Meters away, the breakfast is now a Box with a Paper plate from the room. More (fruits, joghurt, Mini Gipfeli) is supplied at the reception. Corona and Security measures are taking its toll, I am looking forward to a time things get more normal.

Poor value and disappointing

It‘s a simple place if the price were fair

They use excessive dynamic pricing. We ended up in a very basic room without any decor, 2 uncomfortable folding chairs, 2 single 80cm beds with a gap in between, and a cardboard cup for coffee. Because of high demand, it was priced like a luxury place at 3 times the normal rate. Very disappointing and abusing the Corona situation with closed borders. Never again.

Very good

Location is great, 10min from Locarno by bus or funicular, nice view from the balcony and the restaurant from the partner hotel was fantastic (5 star hotel so don’t expect something cheap). Staff was helpful and friendly.

Bathroom was a little bit too small to be comfortable. Breakfast was ok but nothing special (due to Covid it’s a box with a few choices). It’s probably much better in the normal time.
