Everything was excellent. Clean rooms, very friendly manager and hotel is located near to the train/bus stastion.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel is largely self-service, with automated check-in and check-out via a computer and very little staff presence. Some food items like coffee and jams are available for purchase if needed, although some prices were not clearly displayed. I especially appreciated the complimentary fruit in the lobby. The location is very convenient—close to the lake and supermarkets—though it is a little far from Locarno and many of the best restaurants. The room was clean, modern, and the air conditioning worked very well. A couple of small points could be improved: there was no conditioner provided in the shower, and the TV setup did not make it easy to connect an Apple TV via HDMI because there was no nearby power outlet. Daily cleaning is available for an extra charge, which is somewhat unusual, but I was personally fine with it.

Modern and clean, higher standard compared to most regular hotels in Ticino. New train station improved the accessbility.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

The accomodation was definitely good! There's a set of cooking tools, incl a 2 pan induction cooker stored smartly like in those wonderful tiny houses you know from internet. We managed to do some nice cooking. There's a bar with 2 high stools, where there's room for 1,5 person to sit at. There's not much space to store your belongings or suitcases... Everything is very clean and tidy The fridge was well equipped with cool beverages and beer.(free of charge) Electronics do play a dominant role in this accomodation. Once you tame the system it serves you right. Until that moment it tries to think for you, closing/opening sunscreens at surprising moments. Well, it's all in the experience of being there. There's a lounge in the central hall where you can get high quality coffee from an advanced coffee machine. (not free of charge). The staff was very kind and helpful. I can really recommend this place to have a very good stay, on walking distance of Lago Maggiore

Über einer Autoniederlassung !! Sicht auf die Straße nicht auf See. Eher was für Studenten oder ne schnelle Durchreise.. Nichts für Paare. Null Romantik und sehr unpersönlich. Sehr modern ausgestattete Zimmer mit viel Technik Schnickschnack. Sehr sauber.

Flott hotell og utrolig hyggelige ansatte. Likte også plasseringen, da det var enkelt å komme ned til strandpromenaden hvor det var helt nydelig å gå inn mot sentrum. Kun en natt, men kommer tilbake hit ved en senere anledning! Anbefalt!

De gastheer was heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam. De kamer was heel schoon. Het enige nadeel is dat de kamers niet heel goed geluidsdicht zijn maar daar is zeker mee te leven als je de kamer gebruikt enkel voor te slapen en klaar te maken voor de dag. De ingang van het pand is iets moeilijker te vinden. Het is zeker een aanrader en ik zou hier zeker vaker terug gaan.
