Hotel Rondinella Locarno

The staff were very friendly and helpful, and could speak several languages. The hotel is in a very convenient position for access to the railway station, ferry station, and the funicular railway. I had a single room, very small, but it had everything I needed.

Centrally located and rooms are basic but clean and comfortable

Soap not replenish

Lokalizacja świetna, balkon ładny, pokój skromny ale funkcjonalny, personel bardzo miły i pomocny, check -in bez problemu. Duży plus za Ticino ticket-uwaga bilet ważny od momentu zameldowania.

good location right on the lake - waking distance to Locarno main strip - close to the main train station 1km walk to the Lido for gym and wellness small fridge in room if you (like me ) wish to stock it with your own breakfast items from Migros/Aldi which is close enough to the hotel to walk to

**not to be disparaging about property - but just so travellers are aware** •front desk guy had not one word of English - which I found strange for the hospitality industry. •this really is a 2* hotel which needs a serious refresh unless the experience of 1986 makes you feel nostalgic - although it was clean in fairness, it still had a grotty kinda feel in the whole building. *the room was quite uncomfortable and the single bed in particular was akin to a camper bed in regard to comfort , worst of all the pillows were the size of small seat cushions and highly unpleasant to sleep on. I actually dreaded going to sleep each night and slept terribly for the most part *the whole check in/out reception area had a one flew over the cuckoos nest overtone to it , hard to describe until you see it you’ll know what I mean *restaurant underneath and proximity to Main Street meant noise at night from revellers all in all, if I had have known the standard of comfort prior to booking (a friend recommended it ) I would have chosen another hotel for a more enjoyable overall experience ***please note , staff were fine (except the language barrier) , no suggestion of poor customer service , no suggestion of shoddy treatment …it’s just a 2* star cheap hotel and it reflects that in my opinion. if you are on a cheap budget and not too pushed on comfort then knock yourself out . I personally would never stay here again .
