Hotel la Palma au Lac, hotel in Locarno

Hotel la Palma au Lac is situated on the beautiful lake promenade of Locarno, a few steps from the city centre. All rooms provide a TV, a safe and a private bathroom.

We picked this hotel because of the proximity to the station. The staff were extremely kind and helpful. They went out of their way to make us feel welcome and attend to all our needs. The restaurant were very happy to accommodate my mother's allergies and intolerances without any fuss. The view from the balcony of the lake facing rooms is beautiful! I will use this hotel again when i return to the area.

    A small, yet beautiful city on the Swiss part of Lago Maggiore which, for those who are on a circuit, is a must-come-to in order to visit Sacro Monte Madonna del Sasso. A jewel with an amazing view over the city and the lake, accessible both by foot or by the funicular (lovely).

    Awesome small town on the shore of Lago Maggiore.

    Awesome small town on the shore of Lago Maggiore. Clean, all buildings and streets are perfectly maintained. Very green, extremely picturesque - placed between Alps slopes and lake shores , with palms and lot of flowers growing around. Small but beautiful Old town, tasteful food. Just a small heaven on Earth, it still is expensive.

    Locarno has a lovely location on the shores of Lake Maggiore. In addition Locarno has developed a continuous walking and bicycle trail along the lake. We spent half a day walking to Ascona - another lake town. Another day we took the train 30 minutes to Bellinzona to explore the UNESCO world heritage castles.

    Just loved the light, spacious 50 m2 apartment (an upgrade at no extra costs) with a great 180 degree view on both the lake 'Lago Maggiore' as well as as the mountains. There was an overall very pleasant vibe in the hotel and staff was super friendly. Breakfast was good too and the breakfast room (=restaurant) had a great ambiance thanks to the glass ceiling and half-circle shape. Location was pretty unbeatable, like an island in the center of Locarno.

    We really enjoyed our stay in Locarno. The host was very helpful and very kind. The room had everything we needed - nice and comfortable bed with very smooth bed sheets, little terrace and even an AC for the hot summer evenings. Furthermore the high-tech shower was a cool feature 👍 only the distance from the city centre and the the train station is a little disadvantage, but there are many buses going regularly in all directions from a stop close by.

    The property was clean and the room was modern and spacious for 2. Comfy beds and quiet enough to leave the balcony window open all night even though we were on the front street side. Unpleasant when smokers were below us on the ground level however. breakfast was simple but adequate. The location was great, up hill about 2 blocks from the train. We travel light and are fit, so it was good for us. The free bus pass was nice.

    It's a very nice, small, cute hotel. The staff is super-friendly, and helpful. A nice bonus when checking in was receiving a pass for everyone to get a discount on public transport, and the funicular train. The breakfast was delicious. The hotel is located in the centre, and at the lake front. As a result almost everything (like bars, restaurants, and boat dock) is within a short walking distance.

    The hotel is charming and atypical with a funny yellow elevator. It is in a nice and quiet neighborhood with shops and restaurants. During the evening you can hear the life around and the music from the bars in the background, that gives a good idea of the ambiance of the city. The breakfast has nothing incredible but very correct for the price.
