Our check-in was fantastic as we were provided some options for things to do and sights to see. The hotel is conveniently located in a cute square with multiple restaurants and the hotel’s restaurant has fabulous Mushroom risotto and Aperol Spritz.
charming hotel, front desk guy was SO helpful & nice. it is hard to find - i stopped at a pharmacy to ask for location, they didn't know & it was about 3 minute walking beyond. to find it, you can walk from the train station (10-15 min) towards the main plaza, keep going almost to the end. on the right tucked in the back, after the shops, is the entrance. only complaint is no tv channels in english. which normally isn't important, except that everything in the town except restaurants closes by 6pm so relaxing in the evening with tv is not going to happen. otherwise, loved it!
Family owned, amazing stay and gracious hosts. The co-owner, (Manuel) was helpful planning our stay and was so excited to show us his hotel. From the unique Grotto, its history to the history of Lacarno. His English was impeccable and we felt very welcome and relaxed.
Posizione ottima. Sulla piazza centrale,ma ben insonorizzata dai rumori esterni. Scomoda al 4 piano, l ascensore arriva solo al 3. La nosrra stanzacera in mansarda, proprio a tetto,. La pecca piu grande è l odore di mangiare perenne, h24,dai corridoi fino alla camera. Per il resto. Potrebbero migliorare tante cose...cmq in generale non male.

Sauberes Zimmer, weder WC Rollenhalter noch WC Papier vorhanden. Auch kein Abfalleimer
abgeschrägtes Zimmer auf Fotos nicht sichtbar. Fotos besser als Realität. Bilder zeigen Blick auf Piazza Grande. Zimmer ist jedoch in einer eher dunklen Gasse
Habe mit meiner Tochter 4 Nächte im Hotel verbracht. Freundliches Personal und gutes Frühstück. Hatten ein sehr kleines Zimmer, doch sonst alles in Ordning!

Super gelegen! Zimmer ohne Klimaanlage. Es stand ein Kühlgerät im Zimmer. War aber nicht genügend.
Für den Preis leider ungenügend.
Ganz spontan habe ich zwei Tage in Locarno verbracht, ein Hotel gesucht und mit dem Albergo America eine perfekte Unterkunft gefunden. Ich werde sicher wieder einmal kommen.
Zentral gelegen
Zimmereinrichtung entsprach nicht dem Foto im Internet, war jedoch sauber, klein und einfach eingerichtet. Bett bequem. Tv oberhalb Garderobe, mühsam für TV schauen.
Gratis ÖV Karte mit Ermässigung auf Museen, Schiff war top.
Personal freundlich.
