Hotel Matterhorn Inn
Great stay. We would have stayed longer if our trip allowed. Close to the train station to enable us to get to Zermatt, but better value. Great sauna!

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.
