Hotel Rio Muralto

Clean, comfortable and well located hotel with very friendly and helpful staff. Parking available and convenient. Decent breakfast and coffee. Only|let down was the bathroom in the economy room…. It has frosted glass walls (you can see quite a bit through these walls) that do not run floor to ceiling, making it very awkward given I stayed here with a friend. We did our best with it, but it would stop me from booking the room again.

A pleasant hotel with lovely hosts. The room was very quiet and comfortable. This converted grand house has been tastefully re-modelled into a very comfortable hotel.The breakfast was very enjoyable too and the coffee, from a machine, was remarkable!

The staff are super friendly and helpful! Good value for money, and it is normally my first choice for regular stopovers through Locarno. Air conditioning is a particular benefit. The only downside was one particular room - it’s bathroom didn’t have a proper wall, just a separator like a public WC cubicle. Only share that room if you’re ok with their toilet habits.

The hotel is next to the main train station and therefore perfect located. Lake at walking distance, as also town and kabel to Cardada mountain. Room was complete and space enough. Small bathroom, but clean and what it need. Since next to train station a little bit noisy. Breakfast simple but enough. Staff very friendly and helpful. ||Nice place and I'll book it again.

The hotel was excellent for our overnight stop in Locarno although we would have happily stayed longer. Travelling by train, the hotel is conveniently close to train station (but not so that you get bothered by any noise). The rooms are very modern, clean, well equipped, quiet and with comfortable beds. The staff are really friendly, very welcoming and helpful and the breakfast is ideal. Really enjoyed the fabulous stained glass windows and it made using the stairs (although there is a lift!) a real pleasure too.

Very friendly and helpful staff, very clean, good selection for breakfast. The aircon in the first room did not work and we were upgraded for free to bigger room with a terrace and working air con, thank you, Giacomo! Location is good but not great. You do not see much from you room but train station or side streets. Hotel parking is promised for free, but it was full. I had to use public parking instead. Not big problem though.

Nice hotel close to the train and bus station. The staff is very friendly and helpful and the rooms are nice (with aircon, which is nice on long hot summer days)

We stayed at this lovely hotel for two nights and had booked a "superior twin room with balcony", room 21, well worth the little extra, I'd say. The hotel is adjacent to the train station but the only time I noticed the trains was when we were on the balcony. You can see a little of the lake and lots of the stunning surrounding mountains and all of Muralto's shops and restaurants are in easy walking distance. Parking is available if booked in advance at a charge of 8CHF/day. The room we had was large, modern, functional and extremely clean, as was the bathroom. One thing I really liked about this hotel were the staff who gave it a really family run feel. They went out of their way to meet our needs with extra pillows, plug adapters, wine glasses and ice and always a friendly greeting and smile. I really enjoyed my breakfast of fruit salad followed by a croissant and lovely jam but there were other options that would suit most people. This hotel added greatly to my overall enjoyment of our Muralto stay and I'm really pleased my husband found it!
