Good for a short stay, excellent service.

I rate this hotel 5 stars, but only for certain circumstances such as short stays eg. you are breaking up a long journey and need somewhere to stopover for a night. The location is great - it is five minutes or less walk from the train station. The service by Giacomo was excellent. Nowadays, unless you ask, you rarely get to experience 'old school' service from hotels where the manager/receptionist bothers to give you a map and point out where you can go. But Giacomo did that for us on his own initiative. He was also exceedingly friendly and polite in all our interactions, and when we were at breakfast he came over to ask if we wanted eggs. I noticed he checked in on all the guests as well.

But on to the not so good parts. I would hesitate to recommend this hotel for longer stays. The hotel building looks to be quite old, and it really shows in the rooms. There is a general feeling of everything being quite dated and old. The floors are not even, and seem quite thin. The bathrooms are equipped with 'old school' soap rather than liquid soap for handwashing. On the plus side there was no problem with the wifi. The breakfast buffet was very average.

9.0 / 10.0

It was a very pleasant stay

Perfect location to explore the town and surroundings, parking available but not free. Great stuff, very friendly and helpful.

8.0 / 10.0

Cheerful and Convenient

Location is very convenient for access to the train station and bus. The hotel is right across the street. Our room and the bathroom were good sized. The manager was extremely helpful, friendly and engaging. He helped us with our day trip plans and had good suggestions for local attractions. One of the big assets of this hotel is his knowledge and skill in multiple languages. Very personable and engaging with the guests.

The hotel's location is a main road so the drawback is nearly continuous traffic noise. However, we were given a room on the back of the hotel that was relatively quiet.

9.0 / 10.0

Comfortable hotel for our exploring the region

Beautiful hotel freshly renovated. The room is comfortable, nice spacious shower and bathroom. The hotel is central and right by the station. Cafes and shops close by.

Incredible!

Location was amazing, exactly what it says on the tin. Staff were amazing and highly recommend the breakfast too! The staff couldn’t do enough for you, going above & beyond. When I’m next seeing family in Locarno I will definitely book to stay here again!

8.0 / 10.0

Great location, quality facility and good value for money.

Excellent location, Room very comfortable and clean. Staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Breakfast was sufficient and good quality but could have offered other hot choices rather than just soft or hard boiled eggs, Perhaps add scrambled eggs in future

One little hiccup, a customer had set their alarm clock to go off in a vacant room, so it woke us up during the night and we needed to call the emergency number for a staff member to come to site and switch it off

8.0 / 10.0

We enjoyed our two night stay at Rio Garni and the staff did all they could to make it very comfortable for us!

Great location. Very helpful and friendly staff. Spacious room and modern bathroom. Overall, we loved our stay at Albergo Rio Garni.

There was no door between the two bedrooms😊

I would come back anytime.

A very nice hotel in a beautiful building, very close to the train station for arrivals, departures & the Centovalli train. The lake is 5 Min walk away with plenty of restaurants. Also center is close by. The personell has been super friendly. I enjoyed my stay.

7.0 / 10.0

Comfortable, great staff, perfect location, loud AC

Comfortable room, clean, secure, quiet, with fantastic and friendly staff and as convenient a location as can be—right next to the station. Very nice building.

The AC was so loud turning on and off it would wake me up. Wi-Fi was temporarily down but they had a replacement network available in the lobby area.

7.0 / 10.0

The toilett is not a closed room (the wall doesn't reach until the ceiling).

Lovely staff and exceptionally convenient location for the station

Great staff, very friendly and helpful. Perfect location next to the station.

I can’t think of anything bad. There was only one cushion on the bed, I normally like more. But otherwise everything was good.

8.0 / 10.0

Very good

2 minutes walking to the train and bus stations. During the winter season this hotel is more like a B&B. Nice breakfast and all-day-long tea and coffee! Very kind staff. The building is historic and the corridor looks like as museum.

Some floorboards were creaky, and sometimes I can hear the sounds from the next door.

great time in Locarno. pleasure to stay there

very welcoming staff

8.0 / 10.0

Very nice, comfortable garni super close to everything.

The garni is incredibly located, literally 10 steps from the train station and 4 minutes to the lake. Facilities are very clean and orderly. Room was very large and had great windows so you didn't hear the noise from the train station. The building itself is very pretty, beautiful old staircase. Breakfast was minimal but had everything that you needed with fresh local produce - we were also there off season, so it might be different during the summer.

This is my personal preference but I found the beds to be way too hard and no pillows (or rather the pillows they use which are basically flat). It was like sleeping on the floor, though I think this may be a Swiss thing.

Friendly, accommodating, helpful staff - very central -just beside the train station!

Very helpful and friendly staff. I like the portable refrigerator and especially that there is an air conditioner. I also like that there is a shower cap.

The bed was just too narrow, there are no english channels (only news), we did not know how to use the adjustable shower nozzle but the rainforest shower was great.

Okay stay

Excellent breakfast. Hard small mattress, small pillow, very noisy street plus train announcements, with windows closed it was okay. Nice personnel. Plug near bed would be handy.
