Hotel dell'Angelo, hotel in Locarno

The Dell'Angelo Hotel is centrally located at Piazza Grande in the center of Locarno. It is just steps from the train station, shops and Lago Maggiore.

The hotel is located at the end of the central place of the city, very convenient. The staff was very nice, esp. when I realized that I've got a room with a detached bathroom (I was supposed to get out of my room and pass a small hall to get in my - truth is - private bathroom). When I told the lady at the reception that they should make it clear on booking.com that the bathroom is detached, she first let me know that it is their only room with this feature, but then she offered me a 'regular' room at no extra charge. By the way, I've got - before arrival - a 10% discount for eating in their restaurant. Didn't use it, but the place was full, so I guess they have a very good cook.

    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.

    Location was breathtaking, view from our balcony to the lake was the highlight of the trip. The room was large and comfortable including a small loveseat sofa (fits 2 snuggly) and a separate chair. Breakfast was very good. The walk to the main plaza was just a few minutes away downhill. Staff was very professional and willing to help on any questions we had! Parking is inside the hotel itself, it's a separate charge per day. Would recommend without hesitation, would love to be back soon!

    We had a great time in Locarno. We booked the rooms with the shared bathroom, and even though it's not the same as having your own bathroom, I have to say they were very clean and did not bother us to use them at all. The location is great, there is a bus stop right next to the hotel and you can go to the center and other towns easily. The service was excellent, Everyone was very nice and helpful. And the breakfast was delicious, we enjoyed it every morning :)
