Very charming experience. Personal touch. Personal rooms combined with good location. A good quality no-fuss alternative.

We loved Caffe dell Arte overall. I with they didn't charge so much extra for breakfast (30 CHF?) but otherwise we had a great experience.

Lovely boutique art hotel in excellent location

Noisy and water pressure not very good but room was very clean and tidy. Bed linen was superb.

Unlike any place weve ever stayed. Small, intimate, with the kind of warmth and personal service you rarely see in a hotel. Great location near Grand Plaza in the old part of the city, 5 mins from water. Modern design but still quaint. Estella and her mother are terrific hosts. Be sure to sign up for their breakfast--it will amaze. All local produce. Also try the Cittadella restaurant next door for its seafood.

The owner is very warm and considerate. We arrived later than the time we told her and she called us to check was everything ok. She also gave us an ipad with a lot of site visit suggestions and great restaurants recommendations which are really helpful. Her mother is also very nice and welcomed us with a coffee from their fancy app and superb machine. Rooms are clean and uniquely designed, while hotel is just 5 minutes walk away from centre.

Wonderful little hotel full of charm. Huge room with balcony. Unfortunately it was very hot and there is no air conditioning.

The receiption around the corner was not marked as such, so we waited in the car for almost two hours after sendung an email also to find out about the entrance to the hotel.

The hotel had a narrow check-in time between 3:00-5:00pm - we arrived at 3:00pm and only construction workers were there and the other doors were locked - we came back at 3:15 and someone was there to check us in; however, we did it all in the hallway as there were major renovations happening in the lobby and breakfast area. We received a croissant, juice and banana for breakfast (was left on a table in the hallway) understandable as the majority of the first floor was under renovation. Wifi was free but was slow from the second floor. I did like that they had an honesty bar, would have used it if we were so inclined but we didn't. I would go back to this place once the construction is over, that's why I titled this review - almost there.

Loved this place located in the center of Locarno. Oozes charm with different themed rooms. Managed by two sisters, you can tell that they love the place and want to take care of their guests. Rare to find such helpful owners in the city. Lots of tips on getting around and parking (not an easy feat in this town). Even an iPad was provided for the room.
