“Best hotel we stayed in on our trip.”

SUPERB, SUPERB, SUPERB! This was our last of 9 hotels on a trip around Switzerland and the Piccolo was the best of all of them. Most hotels can be chosen for good location and great reviews as was this one. However, there is a nice surprise waiting for you on top of this. The hotel is very individual. It has its own style with amazing art throughout, the breakfast was amazing and the management was very friendly. I particularly liked how making us a takeaway breakfast for an early morning start wasn't a problem. Highly recommended.

The hospitality was excellent, the hotel is very close to the city center and the central station. The staff welcomed us warmly, the breakfast was rich and delicious. The rooms are comfortable and spacious, and the atmosphere was truly magical. We really enjoyed staying with you. Thank you for everything!

Very cute little hotel. Friendly staff and delicious breakfast. Great location too.

- nice looking room in retro style - balcony - rather close to the train station, but in a quiet neighborhood - fridge in the room

“Enjoyable”

Nice rooms and friendly staff. Good breakfast and great location.

“Pleasant.”

Very friendly lady at reception. Helped me a great deal and told me things about my booking I did not know, including the complimentary bus/train pass, and also helped me acknowledge my silly mistake of thinking I had paid, when I thought I had already online but had not!

“Perfect base for 007 Bungy”

First of all I would like to thank the couple working there for their help and especially for preparing the breakfast as a packed lunch for 2 days and the breakfast was made to my liking. The hotel staff are amazing the hotel is very comfortable. The breakfast was very good as well with wide variety of food.

Very nice hotel close to the centre. Very comfortable room. Quiet street. Excellent breakfast. A few free parking spots. Very nice owners. Good price in a beautiful town ! Free bottles of water in the room.

“Great value for the money.”

Friendly staff, free parking.

The hotel is a small, family-run place that's filled with historic, interesting objects that the owners have collected from their travels over the years. The breakfast room is especially nice, with tables set with beautiful pieces of china and linens. The food was delicious and plentiful and the owner made us coffee from a real espresso machine. What a treat! The room was tastefully furnished, immaculate, and very quiet. We ate dinner at a bistro within a 3-minute walk on two different nights and we walked a short distance to the boat for a trip to the botanical garden island nearby and the picturesque town of Ascona. The hotel owner gave us excellent advice and a topo map of a day-long valley hike which we reached by postbus. It's a hike we would not have discovered on our own and was one of the highlights of our trip to Switzerland. I hope we'll return to Locarno one day to spend more time and do the other valley hikes, and if/when we do, we'll definitely stay at the Piccolo Hotel. It's one of the best hotels we've stayed at. Book this hotel with confidence--you won't be disappointed.

Amazing breakfast. Great coffee. Very friendly staff.

The hotel was about a ten minute walk from the railway station and the lake. It had a wonderful old world feel to it. The staff were most helpful and friendly. A superb breakfast was served.
