  Cute affordable stay for some compromises

  Liked: Lovely location, being right around the piazza grande makes the majority of Locarno's highlights reachable by foot in a few minutes. The staff has been kind, check-in and check-out both went smoothly. The annexed restaurant could be a plus for those that don't want to venture far for a meal.The cute terrace in my room was a nice surprise. Wifi worked well with good connection, including from the terrace. The price was competitive, considering the event happening in the city.

  Disliked: The room was very small, did not have A/C and the bathroom, with no window, did not ventilate sufficiently. As a result, the room got warm and humid rapidly. Of course, this experience may differ based on the season of the visit, in my case it was summer but not a particularly warm day. Overall, the building and facilities felt outdated, which unfortunately hindered the experience. For example, the reception and pizza oven are in the same (poorly ventilated) room, making it particularly warm and with pungent smell of garlic. The locker of the rooms are vintage, the key being a perforated plastic piece. The door of the room was not well insulated, making it possible to perfectly hear noises from the corridor and outside. The table in the room is less than 25cm deep, making it perfect to empty pockets but not sufficient to write or open a laptop.
