I spent one night with a friend at the Hotel Giacometti, its location is central, the room and bathroom were impeccably clean, the choice at the breakfast buffet fresh and varied, the room price unbeatable and the manager friendly and helpful. We can only recommend it!

I agree with all of the previous reviews, e.g., the owner's awesome, the breakfast is great, etc. So, I'll highlight something important to me: Giacometti is CLEAN. No grime hiding in the bathroom. The linens are spotless. The common area was always tidy. This place is certainly charming and adds to the experience of staying near the Grande Piazza.

Only minus: the bathroom... More

We loved staying here. The whole place is charming, the hosts very friendly. Having breakfast outside was lovely. The rooms are individually decorated and super clean. Will come back if I need a place in the Locarno area!

There is a large bed, comfortable armchair, table and chairs and a small ensuite bathroom. Windows on both sides look onto the street and the courtyard... More

We found the Hotel Giacometti by reference from the Tourist Office in Locarno (from the train station, head towards the lake and veer right- the office is in the foyer of the Casino). The family owned Hotel Giacometti is period building in the old town about 10 minutes walk from the train station. The hotel has recently refurbished-having been a... More

This hotel is located right in the old town, there's a little family owned shop right outside the entrance that has all kinds of food and stuff, there's an amazing little tea shop owned by a "ton of fun canadian guy" and you...
