Hotels in Muralto, Locarno

One of the best experiences I have ever had. The location was great, just next to the train station. Having a lake-view room will make your trip unforgettable. The room was quiet and the staff were very kind. Located near the center and shopping street and adjacent to the lake.

We had a late check in, so we had to do a self check in in this case, which was super simple as we got clear instructions. The room was super clean and comfy. Nice breakfast. Will definitely stay there in the future.

Don't let the name put you off. There is a small, tidy butcher shop on the ground floor but most of the multi-story house has been turned into a B&B, including a spacious breakfast room and a lovely outdoor patio with lots of seating and potted plants. The room was tastefully painted with a soothing sage green, and the hallways and common areas are decorated with antique books and various shop paraphernalia, such as an old cash register, to add visual interest. The breakfast was very tasty, with freshly made fruit salad and local cheeses and meats. The hostess is dedicated to the hotel and her guests. Entrance is easy after hours with the lockbox. Outside, there's a small passage that will lead you to the other side of the tracks, so you can reach the lakeside promenade in less than five minutes.

The room was lovely and the breakfast provided was superb. All the staff were friendly and helpful.

Absolutely gorgeous location. Very large space inside the apartment. The staff were very helpful.

We loved our stay here. Our room had a large balcony, with a view down to the lake. Breakfast was very good - plenty of choice. Our host was easily contactable, and friendly. Rooms were clean and spacious. There is a bus stop right outside the property if you didn't want to walk up the short hill, but we mostly walked.

What a great stay, in the middle of an old residential area of Muralto with stately old villas and hotels, and surrounded by palm trees. The apartment is located in a clean and spacious apartment building, with an elevator. You can park your car for free in the garage under the building. In Dutch we call this building a gallery flat (an apartment house where the front door opens onto an outside walkway). This outside walkway overlooks a large (overgrown) garden of a villa with palm trees and a stone gazebo. That is already a feast for the eyes. The apartment is the last on the corridor. What is not (yet) shown in the photos is that behind the front door there is a large square hall with mirrors, making the apartment very spacious. You can see immediately that everything is spotlessly clean! Everything is available in the kitchen, even a large freezer. Due to the special construction of the building, the apartment has 2 spacious triangular balconies, which are connected to each other. This is virtually impossible to capture on photo. The view from those balconies is phenomenal (not the lake, but on the city and surrounding mountains) and is located on a one-way street with palm trees. The apartment has large, thick towels, lots of mirrors, 3 fans with high stand, almost all windows have mosquito screens, 2 comfortable chairs with thick cushions on one balcony and a dining table with 4 chairs (and cushions) on the other balcony. We only missed outside light on the balconies. Contact with host Daniel went quickly and check-in is done by friendly Tino who can be reached via Whatsapp. In 10 minutes (downhill) you can reach the boulevard of Lake Maggiore and in 15 to 20 minutes (downhill) in the center of Locarno. But along the way you will come across so many photogenic houses, restaurants, shops and painted buildings that it will probably take you longer. Recommended is a visit to the Verzasca Valley with the beautiful Ponte dei Salti (18 km).

Great location, cleanliness, excellent breakfast, view for the lake, private parking.
