Big and clean rooms with terrace offering an exceptional view. Also pleasant and polite employees, especially the lady in the reception. I highly recommend the hotel, was definitely value for money.

The view from the room was stunning, the staff was very kind, and the breakfast croissants were memorably delicious! We would happily return to La Barca Blu when we return to Locarno.

- The staff was amazing, very helpful and smiling. - We loved the location, high above the city with breathtaking views and some attractions nearby. - We stayed for one night during a very hot day but at night the room became cooler with fresh air from the terrace and a fan was enough. We slept very well. - The shower is tiny but with very good water pressure. - Decent room size. Even a small kitchen but we didn’t use it. - Breakfast was ok.
