Overall good.

The hotel was dated and had a slight stuffy smell to it but everything in the room was clean and the air conditioning worked so well coming from a prior place where it did not work much at all. The breakfast buffet was great. Enjoyed every morning. Loved having espresso in the room, two cups for each of us. Close to the train station. Never saw the hot tubs that are shown, looked everywhere.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Just ok

Pros: clean, great location and view from the balcony. Front desk ladies very nice. Cons: I believe they did surge pricing (there was some sort of festival in town). So I was expecting a $750/night room like I paid for but it was far from it. I would have given 5 stars if it was $300-400/night but the service isn’t indicative of the price we paid. The manager was rude, and they don’t actually have parking (it’s based on if they have room that day but zero advance warning we needed to arrive super early to get a spot) so you just drive in circles til you find public parking. Wasn’t bad, wasn’t great.

Just stay here

This hotel exudes a pleasant vibe. It looks nice, and it is nice. The people are nice, especially the reception. They upgraded us. It’s just one of those hotels that’s just perfectly nice. It has all the amenities that pre pandemic hotels used to have. Shampoos, conditioners, body cream oh la la. My wife would probably add that although there is a lot of counter space it was a little bit dark. I would like to add that I looked good in the mirror and the shower was refreshing and powerful. There is reasonably priced parking (14CHF) that’s easy to reach behind the building. Nice. Our room offered a stunning view and the free breakfast buffet was also…very very nice.

I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest appreciation for the outstanding experience I had during my recent stay at your hotel. I cannot emphasize enough how impressed I was with the exceptional level of service provided by your staff. The reception staff were absolutely phenomenal, going above and beyond to ensure that my check-in was seamless and stress-free. Their welcoming demeanour and willingness to assist with any and all inquiries was greatly appreciated, and truly set the tone for a wonderful stay. I must also commend the breakfast staff for their attentive service and delightful personalities. They consistently went out of their way to ensure that I was well taken care of, and their kind gestures did not go unnoticed. The rooms were nothing short of magnificent. The cleanliness was impeccable, and the view of Lake Locarno from my balcony was simply breathtaking. I felt as though I was living in a dream world throughout my entire stay, and I cannot thank your team enough for making it such a memorable experience. In conclusion, I would highly recommend Hotel La Palma Au Lac to anyone looking for a luxurious and memorable stay in Locarno. Thank you again for your exceptional hospitality, and I look forward to returning to your hotel in the near future. Warmest regards, Ahmad Al Ali

Fantastisk dejligt hotel! Vi havde tre overnatninger på hotellet som famile med to børn på 12 og 18år. Hotellet ligger helt perfekt lige ud til søen, hvor vi havde en super udsigt fra vores altan til bjergene og søen. Vores værelse var en rigtig god størrelse og vi var i tvivl om det har været taget i brug før os, da alt virkede helt nyt! Personalet var yderst serviceminded og ydede den bedste oplevelse og service. Vi kommer helt sikkert retur!

Bodde en natt på genomresan från Italien. Fantastiskt läge vid sjön! Hade dock sett fram emot att bada eftersom det var så varmt, men tyvärr var det alger(?) i sjön och dom avrådde från att bada där. Det fick bli jacuzzin på hotell-spat istället (gratis). Vårt rum blev uppgraderat till en svit, vilket var toppen! Fantastisk personal och toppenbra frukost! Rekommenderar starkt!
