Top Carona Hotel Reviews

Hotel Admiral

10/10 Excellent

"The staff at this hotel were excellent. Having two pools was a bonus as you could use the indoor pool when the outdoor pool was busy. The absence of a bar was a slight disappointment and the rooms were small even by European norms. Dated TVs meant no connectivity of maps.... but who goes on holiday to watch TV? Breakfast was very good too. The location (approx. 200m from Paradiso train station) made things very easy Tip: the number 2 bus will take you from the hotel (stop next to the supermarket) up the hill to the station, else it is a steep trek with luggage. The hotel is also alongside the funicular for Monte San Salvatore Watching the sunset from 900m+ is awesome (and you can buy a beer up there too!) And as with nearly every other hotel in the area, you get a Ticino Ticket that gives you free public transport (except for the ferries) in the Ticino region. We had such a great time we stayed an extra night. Our thanks to the staff at Hotel Admiral."

Grand Hotel Menaggio

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is amazing! The views are spectacular! The restaurant was the nicest restaurant in all of Italy that we went to and we went to a lot! They’re wonderful front desk staff and the fine dining room were the friendliest nicest most professional I’ve ever encountered❣️ Of all the places we visited in Italy and there were a lot. This was our most joyous spot to visit with spectacular views, wonderful hotel, and super kind and friendly staff from the kitchen to the dining room to the front desk when you check in. This is first class at it’s finest❣️"

Dorint Resort & Spa Locarno Riazzino

10/10 Excellent

"Very large and comfortable room. Easy and helpful technology to operate features in the room. Exceptional breakfast with lots of choices. Convenient location next to the train. Was easy to take a train to the Locarno city center in under 15 minutes. Transportation is included with the Ticino pass so request it from the front desk. Recommend this property."

LUGANODANTE Boutique & Lifestyle Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We were very happy with our stay at LUGANODANTE. The location is perfect, close to shopping, restaurants, the train, and waterfront. They also have parking onsite which was very convenient. All the employee we met were extremely helpful and friendly. We loved the Mixology drinks and the breakfast buffet was first rate."

Hotel Barchetta Excelsior

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location facing the lake, but yet away from the road Historic centre minutes away A great choice of restaurants, bars and Gelatarias nearby Easy access to ferry terminal, station and buses for Bellagio and Menazzio Staff very helpful, had forgotten my phone in The lobby and they kept it secure for me Excellent hotel all round 👍👍👍"

Hotel Funicolare

10/10 Excellent

"An amazing view and a brilliant hotel. They gave us two connecting rooms for our family of 4 and it was a lot of room. No air conditioning which meant it was hot but they provided fans. The pizza on site was amazing for dinner that night. The drive up to it can be scary as very sharp turns and a lot of incline. Only thing that I could complain about was the breakfast as there was no options for any of us to eat. The waiter said that there was a delivery problem but it meant no croissants, no anything really apart from some old hard bread and some scrambled eggs. Was very disappointed with that."
