ibis Locarno

The location is superb. You are just a few minutes from the pier for catching boats. You are a short walk from the bus stop taking you to Ascona (Bus no 1). Plus 2 stops away in the direction for the train station. The hotel gives you the Ticino card for your stay so you don't have to pay for public transport. You are also near the main square in Locarno. Staff were super friendly, giving me an adapter to charge the phone, giving me directions to a sports shop as I needed a new walking stick. They also offered a free Express Breakfast because I had used Booking. I didn't pay for breakfast but it did look good. All in all it exceeded my expectations because I had stayed in Ibis hotels before.

The location is central, close to the lake and the old town. I really enjoy the breakfast, it was diverse and fresh. The room was clean and I really appreciate that they clean it every day.

It’s right next to the lake ferries boarding point, making it very convenient for daily excursions. The parking is ample. The breakfast alternative of coffee and croissants for as little as 5 CHF makes it perfect for those who needs just a morning fix to be on the go. The staff is very prompt, helpful and courteous at all hours of day & night.

The location was good because it was close to our business meeting we had at ABB. Breakfast was okay, I did have better at other Hotel locations for the price and as for the room it was okay. Originally I booked a room with either a double bed or a king size bed - I sent out 2 emails before I received a response from the management letting me know they will see what they can do but could not confirm that this would be available but when I booked king size bed was available. So I was not pleased with the response I got.

Clean and comfortable. Staff very friendly. We forgot something in our room and the staff called us to let us know. Unfortunately we couldn't go back because we were in our way back home already, but they offered us to keep it until we will be back. Soon. Thanks for that.
