I was genuinely impressed by the quality of service at this hotel. Although it's rated as a 3-star, the warm hospitality and welcoming atmosphere made it feel like so much more—it was truly one of the highlights of our trip through Italy and Switzerland. Some standout aspects of our stay included: A complimentary room upgrade upon arrival, offering a breathtaking view A thoughtful welcome with complimentary wine, apples, and snacks in the room Refreshments like tea, infused water, and light snacks always available in the lobby A beautiful garden with a fantastic swimming pool—perfect for unwinding Free public transport tickets provided for the duration of our stay The overall atmosphere was calm, peaceful, and ideal for relaxation. A perfect retreat to recharge!

Great location as base for exploring surrounding area just a short walk to train/bus stations, as well as to grocery store Coop and many restaurants around. quiet with beautiful inner courtyard. There's someone at reception during the day, except weekend. The host was very quick to respond. There's laundry room at the property with a metered washer and dryer which was convenient. Just ask for coins at reception. Note that each coin will operate the washer or dryer for 30 minutes so just use more coins as necessary. Just a note for those coming in summer months, there's no aircon, didn't matter when I was there.

We had a night stay at Hotel Garni Muralto and would definitely recommend it for a stay in Locarno. The rooms are perfectly sized for a couple and the one in which we stayed on the 4th floor had an awesome view. The location is perfect, just 3 mins walk away from the Locarno station, but still away from all the buzz. The staff is friendly and helpful. The breakfast had decent variety with cold cuts, fruits, assortment of yogurts, boiled eggs and breads. They even had gluten free muesli. They provide the Ticino ticket with which you can take the local transport for travel in the canton of Ticino.

    Great location, and one of the few "budget" options in this area. There were many people checking in at the same time, but they were working really fast and making sure everyone gets their room as quick as possible. Great working team.
