This truly was one of the best hotels we’ve ever stayed at. The hospitality, the room, the breakfast, bus passes, the beauty, everything was perfect and would definitely recommend and return.
Good location. Nice but small room in the roofspace (cheapest room) with shared toilet and shower. Good breakfast.

Great Value for Money - Except in Summer
We stayed at Hotel Alexandra for 1 night before going day hiking in Ticino. The staff was friendly and helpful and room sparkling clean. BUT the central air conditioning system has units in each room giving off a a loud ERRRHHH sound of an electric motor starting every 2 minutes. It was impossible to sleep, and there are no staff in the hotel overnight. I barely slept 3 hours due to this torturous noise. The staff are aware, and when I complained the next morning they were sympathetic, but said if the AC is off guests will complain of the heat. Apparently no plans to repair it. suggest only staying there in the winter.
Hotel Alexandra was a 15 minute or so walk uphill from the train station. Third floor room had some low beams to duck under, and shower and toilet facilities were shared. Room was very clean and we had a view of lake from our window. Breakfast was very nice, and well worth it with the high price of restaurants in Switzerland. We left an item in the room and they mailed it to us, which was really nice of them. Enjoyed our stay here.
Location - 1500 meters walk from Piazza Grande.
Covered parking adjacent to the hotel.
Air-conditioned room.
The room was in the attic, no bathroom and shower included. Toilet and shower were shared.
Extra charge room with bathroom and shower included - 40%!!
There is no elevator.
Dining room with a good breakfast.
Great place to stay just a few minutes to by foot from the Locarno train station.
I suggest if arriving by train use the bus for transfer, will stop right in front of the Hotel.
(I think it was # 1, get off at stazione sociale or just ask the bus driver, runs every 15 min.)
If you are without luggage it's an easy stroll to Locarno, old part of town or lake promenade.
The Hotel is very clean ( recently renovated ), staff extremly friendly ask for ideas on what to do. Rooms comfortable not very big for north american standards but was no issue for me. Breakfast simple but all you really need to get going in the morning .(unless you need your eggs & bacon...) Must see : Madonna del Sasso perched on a rock above Locarno , easy to get by funiculare or by foot. (steep climb but well worth the effort) The church is under renovation but still open to visit , amazing frescoes inside the church!
Very good standard for being a budget hotel. We stayed at the top floor in one of the rooms with shared bathroom. Everything were very clean. Nice breakfast buffé and the most important, friendly and helpful staff. Location is good, just 5-10 minutes walk to the train station, the lake and the city. Will recommend this hotel to all my friends who will go to Locarno.
Wir waren im Dezember in diesem Hotel für 2 Nächte. Leider haben wir bei der Buchung nicht richtig aufgepasst, denn die günstigen Zimmer haben ein Gemeinschafts Badezimmer. Das Hotel ist sauber und Stilvoll eingerichtet. Zur Stadt ist es nicht weit. Es gibt eine Gästekarte für den Bereich Tessin was uns sehr gefallen hat. Damit kann man Kostenlos bus und Bahn fahren. Das Frühstück war ok, nichts besonderes. Für die gekochten Eier müsste eine bessere Lösung gefunden werden da jeder einfach seine Eier in den Eier Kocher rein packt und andere Leute dann aus versehen deine Eier raus nehmen und dann beim pellen feststellen, dass es noch Roh ist. 😅 Naja. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich, spricht aber leider so gut wie kaum deutsch (oder sie wollen nicht). War uns auch nicht so bewusst, dass der Karton Tessin fast schon Italien ist.
