The rooms are comfortable and spacious, and the atmosphere was truly magical. We really enjoyed staying with you. Thank you for everything!

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!

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.

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.

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.

Nothing really

Lovely terrace and really nice staff who went out of their way to help

Perhaps the breakfast could be improved by a bit more variety in the offer. Also the door to the bathroom is noisy so some oil in the hinges would help.

I liked the location and the peace and quiet. I also liked the frendliness of the staff.

There is nothing not to like!

I really appreciated the attention to detail throughout the hotel. The room was immaculate and very comfortable, with a fully functioning air conditioning system that made the stay even more pleasant. The breakfast was another highlight, with a dedicated and friendly staff who made sure everything was perfect. The overall charm of the hotel and the excellent service provided by the staff truly made my stay exceptional. We are definitely coming back!

The people at the hotel are super friendly and helpful and the breakfast was great. The hotel is old fashioned and has a lot of relics from the 50s and 60s which I think is awesome. A great style.

Nothing to dislike.

I loved everything about this place,the welcome was warm,the decor was really funky and different. I am really happy that I chose this place rather than a chain hotel,so much character and fun. Breakfast was really good and the staff and owner were very friendly and helpful. If I ever return to Locarno I will definitely stay here again. Thank you.

Everything was wonderful! the hosts, the staff are very friendly, considerate and always ready to help :-)) The hotel itself is very nice and cosy, and it is located in a quiet area (which is important, especially in the evening). It takes only 7-8 minutes to walk to the railway station and the lake! Breakfast is really excellent, there is a selection of different kinds of food for any taste, I think :-) The wifi is a bit slow but it's not a problem.
