ibis Locarno

Perfect stay in Locarno, great location close to the lake, in a quiet residential area, in the city center. Very kind and welcoming team, very comfortable and fully equipped bedroom. The hotel is very clean and the breakfast is excellent (fresh orange juice…). Excellent value for money. We will come back!

A very positive surprise for an economical hotel. Stayed in the "Cinema" rooms for less than CHF100 per night. Beds were very comfy and the rooms had a good size. Staff was super friendly which made our stay a real pleasure. Very centrally located, 10min by footpath from the train station. Only the breakfast was a little disappointing. I suggest skipping hotel breakfast and instead having a Coffee/Cappuccino from the bar with a real coffee machine (croissant also available). Then go have breakfast elsewhere.

I stayed at IBIS Locarno with my husband during the Locarno–Ascona Half Marathon weekend (11–12 October). Unfortunately, our suite was located right above a technical floor, so there was a constant low noise, and around 4 a.m. we were woken up by loud music from the next room. Despite informing the night administrator, the problem wasn’t properly resolved, and we barely slept two hours before my race. The staff were polite and breakfast was fine, but the first floor is definitely not suitable for light sleepers.

The room was spacious and clean. The bathroom had more than expected (cotton disks, toothbrushes etc.), fruits on arrival and a welcome drink. We had the pleasure of having our own terrace. We couldn’t recommend it more!

Thank you to Martina at the front desk for making our check in process so smooth and giving us great tips! :) Editing my review to add: Martina went above and beyond to help my parents find a local doctor. What great service, I can’t thank her enough! And Alessandro was also so welcoming, the team at this hotel is really fantastic.

I stayed with my husband at IBIS Locarno on the weekend of 11–12 October during the Locarno–Ascona Half Marathon. While check-in, breakfast, and late check-out were fine, our stay was seriously affected by noise issues. Our suite was located above a technical floor, and there was a constant low sound throughout the night. Around 4 a.m., we were also disturbed by loud music coming from the next room. I can also smell smoke, and my husband told me that our neighbours were smoking in their room. The night administrator tried to intervene, but the situation was not properly resolved, and the music continued at a lower volume. As a result, we hardly slept before my race. Overall, I would recommend avoiding the first floor or rooms located above technical facilities, as they are not suitable for light sleepers.

The hotel was really nice, good ratio of quality to the price, clean and well maintained rooms and really really amazing staff. Alexandra from the reception desk is doing exceptional job! We felt very welcomed and took care of :)

Stayed for a business trip in the area. But had experience already with similar class hotels and was eager to experience them again as the last one was almost 13 years ago.||Reception was courteous, but never got to meet any member of the housekeeping team. No doubt, they too are all smiles.||The room was as expected but the bed and pillows were comfortable and always wanted me to spend 10 more minutes. Closet space was ample and really loved the abundance of clothes hangers. T&B was kept clean and sanitized, with spot-on water pressure and temperature. To my surprise, the shower area is larger compared to other similar-class Euro hotels. My only gripe was that the air-conditioner kind of heated the room even if it was in the coldest setting. Just slightly opened the window and adjusted the blinds.||Food selection is also as expected, but the bacon was always crispy! Plus points for that. Good choices of bread and pastries with some fruit beverages. Another plus, Sir Sean Connery (bless hm) always watching over me.||The location of the hotel was convenient. It was only walking distances to everything in the city center.||In summary, it was great to re-experience this type of lodging again, but here in Switzerland. Would stay here again if my work ever returns to this area.
