Perfect stay
Perfect place to stay. Although rooms don’t have A/C, we were provided a fan which was very much appreciated. Very clean, functional room with huge balcony with lake view. Parking is provided in garage at very reasonable price. When ringing doorbell a receptionist from the sisterhotel Villa Orsellina across the street comes over within a few minutes and helps with luggage and check-in. There is no elevator. Enjoyed a nice lunch at Villa Orsellina with fantastic view over the entire area. Hotel is only a few minutes from the cablecar station that takes you right into Locarno.

Another pleasant stay
We have stayed in this hotel before. It's really convenient for us because of the location and that we can use the tennis court. We usually come to this area for a tennis tournament, so this hotel has been a great base for us. Breakfast is great, view from the rooms is fantastic, everything is clean. The only issue this time was a very loud celebration in one of the neighboring buildings, but it was only for one night. Also, many thanks to the hotel's team for helping us during our stay and also when we left in the room something important and had to come back to get it, it was much appreciated!

They asked to pay additional 100 franks to use kitchen utilities, though there is no such info at expedia, while booking. Not very convenient that check-in ends at 19:00. Breakfast was lower than average. No hot food.

Fantastic views ... Lovely hotel.
Lovely room with fantastic view from balcony - lake & mountains during the day ... Stars & clear sky at night. Easy access with funicular to downtown Locarno - fun to join everyone running for the trip back to Orselina after the Piazza Grande evening film during the festival. Really convenient for taking the cable car up Cardada / Cimetta - lots to do at the top. The staff were really friendly & helpful ... I would really recommend this hotel.

Fantastic mountaintop views of Lago Maggiore
La Barca Blu's staff is its strongest selling point. They are welcoming, knowledgeable and attentive. The rooms, perched on the hill above Lago Maggiore, all face the lake and have welcoming balconies. Ours had a kitchenette, sitting space and comfortable beds. The room was clean and bright. Breakfast (continental) is worth the price, as you will pay the same amount or more for a pastry and coffee nearby. The hotel is about 300m from the walk down to Locarno's famous monastery, as well as to both funiculars serving Locarno and the hilltop. Parking is 10 Swiss francs per day, whether you park outside or in the underground garage with its fun and funky lighting. There is no lift, so you will go up a set of charming circular stairs to reach both the reception desk and your room.

Nice room, excellent view
It's a bit out of the way and, unless you're fit enough to walk the steep hill up from the train station, you'll need to take public transit/car to get there. But the view of the lake is spectacular. Room also had a kitchenette and equipment for making meals. Staff were friendly and helpful.
