Dorint Resort & Spa Locarno Riazzino
It's more a family hotel. Check in is good and friendly. Breakfast is good. The location is a little far from the center but it's near to a train station

Hotel Belvedere Locarno
Lovely lake-facing room with a wonderful view. Comfortable bed. Spacious shower with lots of hot water. Friendly and helpful staff. Close to the convent and funicular. The walk back up from town could be a bit challenging for older or unfit people, but we enjoyed it.

Miralago Locarno Easy Rooms
Great location, 5 minutes from the train station. Spotless rooms, great Wi-Fi, and the best value, perhaps, in all of Switzerland. And just for cred, I have been to Europe more than 250 times, so I know hotels.
