I had a delightful stay at the Excelsior Hotel in Locarno! The rooms were exceptionally clean and quiet, making it a perfect place to unwind. The owners were incredibly friendly and helpful, which really added to the experience. Even though the breakfast was solid, I felt it could have offered a bit more variety. The hotel is located just a short walk from the lake, which was nice, but I would have loved a few more recreational options on-site.

I recently stayed at the Excelsior Hotel in Locarno, and it was a delightful experience. The cleanliness of the rooms was impressive, and the owners were exceptionally friendly, which really enhanced our stay. I enjoyed the peaceful surroundings, and it was a short walk to the lake and nearby recreational activities.
